[QUOTE="HonestAbe, post: 343703, member: 25390"] The "Walmart" labs also have those doc-in-the-box dentist equivalent outfits you see in strip malls but never seem to last. I've talked to docs fresh out of school that have had to work at those places to try and get their careers going and they get like no time to do anything and the patient experience is awful. They've gotta be using the cheapest labs to try and milk as much out of it as possible, so they're like co-dependent in a way, and if one is doing poorly hopefully the other gets taken down with them. I'm usually pretty pessimistic about politics and such, but supposing there's at least a chance that healthcare sees significant reforms and improvement, even if it doesn't include dentistry directly, that burden being lifted off of people will allow more of them to get dental work done. I figure people that are stressed economically aren't even considering dental care toward the top of their list of priorities, but as soon as they get some relief from the most immediate problems, then it becomes at least an option again (and those particular patients are highly likely to need crowns and dentures etc).
