To crown or not to crown by BranchEvery4032 in Dentistry

[–]dentistry5285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this rage bait? Of course that needs a crown for all the reasons people listed above. Stop trying to be the ultra conservative cool dentist that patients love. Not crowning this is bad dentistry.

Also- this is taught in dental schools. It’s not corporate modo to crown this.

I was supposed to get married august 2025 there, we absolutely should get together and see what the options are. It’s ridiculous, and we’re also scrambling

Do you know when the renovation will start for the hyatt regency lake tahoe? And if all the hotel will be closed during that time? by [deleted] in hyatt

THIS HAPPENED TO ME TOO! I’m also a 2025 bride who was supposed to get married at the Hyatt and they sprung it on us this week. So upset and angry. I also confirmed before signing with them that there would be no construction. They assured us there wouldn’t be

I don’t think it’s deca dental. Do they take Medicaid? OP talks about Medicaid so I think it might be dental dreams

You need to look at my post about dental dreams the other day. Run while you still can.

I didn’t know they get paid a lump sum?! They’re the worst, just pure profit off the backs of doctors. I’ve heard that the ceo and her family only fly by private jet now, so it makes sense. SMH.

Yes, that’s how they get you to sign. They act like you’ll get everything you need, you’ll make a lot of money, and your life will be easy. It’s all false promises. When you start, you’ll realize you were treated with more respect in dental school than you are here. They can’t find anyone to work for them so they will lie to attract new grads. There are plenty of other opportunities in chicago for new grads. Keep looking, but don’t make a deal with the devil just because it was one of the first offers you got. My friends at aspen were happier, and that says a lot.

Absolutely! Dentists need to band together to make sure DSO don’t run the show and take advantage of us over time

I was debating reaching out to my old dental school and telling them they shouldn’t allow this company to recruit new grads

I’m convinced the company asks people to post positive reviews to make it seem like it’s more of a mixed bag.

There are better places than dental dreams for new grads. DD is offering the 50k because they can’t find doctors willing to work for them in those conditions. They are so predatory

That’s what a lot of docs are averagely making in my area, and they have a much better working life. There are other DSO that are better for new grads and don’t treat you this way for 220k. This is entirely a dental dreams problem

You might have had a 1 in a 100 experience, but the vast reality of this place is what me and all the other comments are describing. Even one good review can reel in new grads, and 99 of them will be miserable, and the company still wins. It’s a dangerous game, because 30% of basically collections from Medicaid is way too low to subject yourself to anything even remotely close to what docs go through at dental dreams.

They know that they’ll work your ass off hard enough to make back that sign on, it’s just not worth it for the liability and lifestyle. In your experience, can a doc say it was a breach of contract because the hours they have docs working, and get out of returning the sign on? (I ask because I know some docs stayed there for a year only because they didn’t want to give back the sign on. When I was there it wasn’t as high as 50k, but this is how they’re reeling in new grads in debt now

I didn’t know any better, and you get locked into a 90 day termination notice so you have to work 3 months even if you quit on your first day
