I do not understand this. She paid $14,000 for something that the seller told her was worth $30,000-$40,000, did no verification of this and then was surprised to discover that she didn’t get her money’s worth?

Maybe she's not a dental expert and just assumed that a licensed medical professional wasn't going to rip her off.

Dentists though. Many of them seem scammy. I’d at least get a second opinion, especially if I didn’t have a long-term relationship with the dentist.

I trust my dentist because in a spot where I'm missing a rear molar (wisdom tooth destroyed it) the first thing she said was "don't ever let anyone convince you that you need an implant there."

I trust my dentist, too, but I have been seeing him for 15 years.

It wasn’t a scam though. She just didn’t understand the procedure 🤷🏻‍♀️

It sounds like she didn’t have all the information yet still went ahead with the procedure. Which, you’re right. It’s not a scam, but it’s really sneaky and unethical.
