Many of us who are older have finally come to accept and understand the old cliche, "You get what you pay for." There is a huge differences in quality of houses, cars, teachers, carpenters, lawyers and professional golfers (Recall Tiger Woods) The exception to this is dentists and dentistry where many folks believe that 'a dentist is a dentist.' My wife and I both flew to Seattle, WA because that is where the best dentists in the world are for the type of treatment that we needed and wanted. Now I drive 4-5 hours to Buffalo, NY to have my teeth fixed...
I know dentists and dentistry and I will tell you that a dentist is not a dentist and if you truly want great dentistry, It will cost you more than average work.
