Go to an independent dentist, not LA Dental Center or Delta Dental or whatever.
I go to a small practice in Chalmette. Husband and wife are both dentists. Wightman Family Dental. I hadn't gone to a dentist in like 6 years until I finally went at end of 2020. They filled cavities and said come back. Been back twice since then for regular cleanings. No upsell at all, not much of a wait, in and out in like 35 min.
They do take my dental insurance but I believe they don't take a number of plans.

Thanks for the advice, but with my insurance plans I am limited. My mom has gone to local practices and she complained about them the most with the upsells and prices. The last dentist I went to was a local guy and they tried selling me and in fact did sell me shite I didn't need. So I'm trying a regional "chain". There are a lot of dentists within 5 miles of my house so I have options if I don't like this new one.

Yea I went from a local Dentist on Bluebonnet to La Dental in Gonzales when we moved out here. EVERY Single time they charge me $20 or $50 extra for some shite I didn't ask for that my regular cleaning doesn't cover. They have me on my back and mouth all open and go "now i'm going to do [insert upsell procedure]. is that okay?"
And I didn't realize i was authorizing these extra services each time. Took me 1.5 years(3 visits) to catch it.
frick that bullshite.
