We recently moved and my wife & I both scheduled checkups at the same new dentist. She recommended a crown replacement and Invisalign to both of us, in my case while wearing an Invisalign-branded face shield. We both got weird vibes from that place and don't intend to go back. Didn't help that the hygienist said something like "oh, the crown replacement is easy, we just got a brand new machine to make them in-house!" which sounds to me like "wow we really need to pay off this machine"

I had a very similar experience with a new dentist this week and the front desk was very pushy with getting me to schedule an appointment for a routine cleaning. I'm still mad at myself for acquiescing but they were determined to steamroll right over all of my attempts to politely demur. I don't intend to return to the practice but I am absolutely dreading the phone call to cancel the appointment because I know I'm in for even more of their aggressive "encouragement" to change my mind.
