You should have seen the videos they posted before it was built. The vibe I got was the land wasn’t for sale but Jesus told him that’s where the dentist office needed to be.

Nothing about this comment surprises me. And if that’s evenly slightly accurate, nothing about hearing that’s what they believe, given the insane Christian propensity of lunatic rhetoric of this area, surprises me either. You could tell me James fucking River believes that it was actually Jesus’s teeth, specifically, who died on the cross for the sins of humanity and that’s why Billy Gail’s has 193 egg omelettes WITH a short stack on the side and I would 100% believe that to be the reason why that’s even offered on their menu in the first place. Slight sarcasm. Mostly fucking fact.

100% what it is. Connected to JRA.
Edit to add: there are degrees of laundering. One degree is loophole-"legal" through tax deductions and tax-exempted gifts.
A... random....example would be when a church "gifts" large amounts of money to an individual. And individual builds a business with gift. And then "gifts" money back to church. Skirting taxes. And then business owner gets special treatment from charismatic church that worships wealth/"gifts" from god, and business man is then also worshipped as a "good business man." Feeds the narcissism and the wallet.
We need a documentary.

What? I had Invisalign done their and not only was it cheaper than offices in town, but they were actually known for their Invisalign work. Have you been there?
Zealousideal_Ad2686 t1_j29rtar wrote
I think they have Invisalign deals because they’re like a model or something like that. A lot of people are told they need more work done than they do and are very overcharged. Haven’t been there for dental work, but I’ve had friends get super high quotes for work they needed. As cleaning staff, I’ve just seen too many of them drinking on the job to consider going there for any work.

Do you think I’m lying? They have cocktail hour every like Tuesday or Thursday night and they go on weekend retreats sometimes where they spend all morning pregaming. I saw a surgeon walk out of a suite with a truly once. They have a giant fridge constantly stocked with alcohol, and they throw weekend parties where I’d take out several trash bags just full of alcohol trash. And like fine, have fun off the clock, but I can’t tell you how many week days I came in to clean at 5pm and found bud light cans in random trash cans. Not to mention they all drive themselves home after their cocktail nights.

I definitely had a "WTF" moment when I passed this while driving down to Silver Dollar City.
Also, how does it have so many Google reviews?? It has almost as many reviews as Dickerson Park Zoo, more than Nathanael Greene, about twice as many as Hammons Field or Nakato, and over 3,600 more reviews than my dentist. Is there a water slide in there or something??? Should I have spent the day here instead of driving down to SDC?
PossibleSatisfaction t1_j26jhux wrote
Whoa and not a single review that is not a 5. That seems really unlikely probability wise.
thisxisxlife t1_j296x3c wrote
I can vouch for the place. I’d give it 5 stars. First off, clearly, the place is unique. It’s really elegant and modern looking. The people in there were really nice. (I can’t speak to the owner and his whole prayer thing according to another commenter). But they also have a drink bar where they offer to make you smoothies, lattes, coffees, and even baked goods. The furnishing is ridiculous for a dental office. Each room has a giant ass TV that you can look up at while they work on your mouth. Hospitality is wonderful, everyone is friendly and asks you if you’d like a drink. If you get a coffee, you get a free mug. Comparatively, for someone with no dental insurance, they’re actually competitively priced. I had to get a deep cleaning done and when they told me the price, I told them I’d think on it, and called a few other places. The other places told me the wait, and the price, and needing new X-rays (fuck that) would be just about as much money. So I went with them.
Here’s the selling point for me though. During that deep cleaning, I refused the numbing agent that they inject into your gums, because fuck needles in the gums, and they actually cut some of the price off. Not only that, but because the hygienist went faster than she expected, she cut a bit more of the cost off the procedure. YMMV but without me even asking for it, a deep cleaning that cost me around $3k cut down to closer to $2.5k. I’m going back for my routine cleaning in February. Not a shill but I can vouch for the place being rated 5 stars.
JRsFancy t1_j29iqmk wrote
$2500 for a cleaning? That sound ridiculous to me.
thisxisxlife t1_j29jwe8 wrote
A deep cleaning. I don’t floss consistently and they have to dig under my gums to remove plaque that builds up and hardens over time. But yeah, tell me about it. The pain of it and the price are a double whammy.

Overall 10/10 experience going their.

They pulled that on me - told me I needed $20,000 worth of dental work. I freaked out, went and got a second opinion. I had three cavities.
Even at their old place, they had a great facility, free fancy coffee drinks, TVs in the ceiling, full-body massage chairs while you waited for your new crown to be printed, it was easily the most deluxe dental experience I’d ever had. But they have to pay for it all somehow.
Top_Tiger_6969 t1_j28nx6y wrote
not at all. i have been several times and only have been asked about fixing one cavity, which i do have, and they have given me zero pressure to do so. in fact i have to remind them to do it on my next cleaning. every one there is extremely nice and the professionalism exceeds any dentist I've ever been to. the amount of projecting on this sub is ridiculous. see a nice building and all the sudden it's a church cult who is mean to "poor" people. just relax everyone.

JRC does not bring in millions each week. JRC is not affiliated with them. The lead dentist goes to church there and sponsors several church related events. That's the extent of it. JRC has been there since the late 90s, these guys got there a few years ago.

I didn’t even make up any conspiracies, I just know JRC makes a ton of money and that Innovative sponsors them. I know innovative sponsors them because James river had innovative on the back of their shirts at their Easter events. I have worked for both establishments. So they are affiliated in some way, whether the owners of JRC secretly own innovative or not. Also it’s not dramatic to assume that rich people got their money by unethical means. It’s not cringe, it’s just how most rich people get rich.

Something is off. Maybe he is the son of a multimillionaire or wifed up an OReilly or something, but it isn’t like he is that old to have reinvested millions into this place on his own. And no bank is financing that to a 4 dentist team.
He may be very great at what he does…I don’t know.
Maybe he found the top 1% of profitable cases.
But this is either underwritten by some person or group of investors or there is some insurance scheming going on is my guess.
Dental has become more about being a commodity and less about skill and provider happiness the past decade.

According to SPGF Business Journal it was financed.
it was a 15 Mil construction cost that was financed. I cannot remember **who** (because even I was like WTF for an office THAT big WAY out there) but someone local took that note)
And I whole heartedly disagree with your last statement. Insurance may be treating it that way, but the practitioners certainly aren't.

I've never been to this place, but I just looked at their website because I was kind of curious about that. They appear to push subscription dentistry that includes two cleanings and an x-ray for $300/year. Honestly, that's less than my dentist charges. The current rates at my dentist are $139 for a cleaning and $50 for an x-ray. I don't feel the need to get an x-ray every year, but even if I just paid for an x-ray every other year, that would be $303 at my dentist vs. $300 at this place. So, at least to me, the prices seem reasonable. FWIW, my dentist is in a shitty strip mall on Kearney. It was next to a titty bar, but I think that closed.

I bet it's like 80% teeth warehouse space.

This is a terrible company that fakes reviews. Don’t go if you value your teeth more than a free latte- they screw their work up.

I hope that Fairview, Oregon doesn't hear about this.

My guess is that it's meant to get the attention of the folks who visit the James River Ass of God church. It has that vibe.

If a liminal space was an entire building, it would be this.

Not going to hate a business I've never dealt with or had bad press, but I just can't believe how extravagant it is, compared to Mercy's othro and rehab hospital right up the road. Like, what?
Also, that land was super pretty as is. I wish no one was able to build there and just let nature be nature.

Possibly a cloning facility. Anytime they can get a cell on a pick, you may have strange dreams through your clone. They may accept pap smear tissue to clone. The donald marshal cloning labs need more people for orgies.

I had my Invisalign done through them, so I've been there many many times and I personally didn't notice anything suspicious. I agree the building is super luxurious tho, saw someone drive a Lamborghini there once

I've heard (secondhand, so grain of salt) that this is a very very good cosmetic dentist, one of the best in the world, and people from all over go to him specifically because he's good. Whether or not he's into shady shit is separate entirely, but cosmetic dentistry is expensive.

He's an extremely good dentist, I went to him almost 2 years ago to see if it would be possible to salvage any of my teeth in hopes of a decent smile and I ended up with teeth nicer than I ever imagined possible and I still go there to this day.

Big teeth need big dentist offices. You people with beta teeth would never understand
