Just got back from Sams Dental.. Had 10 Crowns .. they were great
Glad you had a good experience.  I haven't used this facility (and wouldn't) because my experiences with dental mills have not been good.

I don't know what is meant by dental mills.

A dental mill is a place where the dentist works for the clinic or for another dentist in contrast to being in private practice for himself.

Dental mills put a lot of pressure on their dentists to generate income.  I went to a dental mill where the dentist told me I needed a root canal and a crown.  I got a second opinion from a dentist in private practice who said I only needed a filling.  Friends of mine have had similar experiences with dental mills, which is why I will never again go to a dental mill.  And why I get second opinions before doing things like root canals and crowns.  (In my experience, and that of my friends, dentists in private practice are more honest.)  

Ten crowns is a lot of crowns--and a lot of money for the dental mill.  Did you get a second opinion?  Are you sure you really needed ten crowns?
