Dealt with this kind of dentist before, won't do what you ask them too, they do what they think will keep you coming back. anyone else ever dealt with this?

The problem, my dentist is 2.5 hours away, so do I go with the one that will say, "oh you lost a filing come on in and we will fix it right away!" thats 2.5 hours away or go with the local that doesn't really care as long as they get as much $$ as possible out of me?
