If you didn't like your dentist because he badgers you to save thousands to get 6 crowns (One per year) for cosmetic purposes and won't listen to you if you tell him you don't want them and dental insurance doesn't cover cosmetic crowns, would you stay with him or start going to a different dentist that's in network with your insurance plan but takes you an extra half hour to get to? Can you have your dental records mailed to your address to give to a new dentist at a later time?

Yes, I would switch dentists. I don't think that medical care should have to be difficult in any way. It's tough enough for most of us to get the energy and courage up to deal with medical problems in the first place. Health care workers who add to that burden aren't worth the time.
You should be able to get your records transferred, but ask the receptionist. If you're feeling shy, just call and ask them if records can be transferred without giving your name.

The first dentist is near to your home but way too expensive and not taking into consideration neither your possibilities nor your demands ... what were the reasons you should stay there? Few extra miles and the short term nuisance of dental records being mailed sound more acceptable to me if the other dentist is equally qualified...

Yeah and you should also change dentist because they botched your root canal and charged you for a permanent crown that they never put it and I still had to get the tooth pulled. And get this my insurance covered none of the procedure and I got stuck with the bill

tell him to lay off. Its your decision. I wouldnt switch if I were you. Its not worth wasting your time. I would just say they are my teeth and you do what you want with yours. I have never heard of dental offices sending your records to your house but I know they will certainly send them to your new dentist.

Sounds like an aggressive marketeer.
Find another one, someone your friend recommends.
