Years ago, the doctor used to be more gruff, meaning that he would say things like, "You're teeth are short because of grinding and it makes you look prematurely old." Now he seems very communicative, friendly and concerned. He regularly tells me when and what procedure he's doing and how it will affect me. And he's even called on the weekend to check up on me after prepping me for a crown. With the cleanings and procedures I've had recently, all has gone well. The only hiccup is that I've needed a root canal when we thought I might escape it. My complaint about the dentist's office is that it seems expensive when it comes to procedures and added fees. I've intentionally solicited pre-approvals from my insurance to avoid hidden costs, but there always seems to be *something* that comes up that costs me more in the end. For example, I needed an Advil after having drilling done and the nurse said she would get me some, but then I had to pay $5 for a packet of them. That's minor, but then on one occasion I had preapproval on a procedure. Once the work was finished I learned that the materials the doctor used were different than initially discussed and they needed to charge me more. I felt like I was at the mercy of a shifty mechanic.
