Patient A could go to a dentist that doesn't do all the handholding and offer all the extras, and possibly pay less that way. There are plenty of those, I'm sure. I, for one, might want to pay a little extra to go to a dentist who had those kinds of things to offer, particularly since I have a family that requires a lot of dental attention.
