That's something you need to watch out for in the NHS, however. The opposite end of the spectrum. The NHS covers the absolute bare minimum.
NHS Dentists barely make any money from NHS treatments, and would rather spend their time making more money doing private work. They aren't rewarded for skill; rather how quickly they can get patients in and out with enormous time pressures. Things routinely get missed and go wrong.
