Pretty much the same thing with Dental Care at Magnolia, I went in expecting to get a "regular cleaning" and exam. They tried to upsell to $60 Cancer Screening. Nothing wrong with my gums, no bleeding, no pain, but after exam and 41 x-rays they claimed my "numbers" are too high. So when I ask for just a regular cleaning they told me that would be malpractice because I need a "Deep cleaning".
