I paid $216 (60% of that covered by insurance) for a basic cleaning and thought that was a bit high...but $325? Wow.
I'd love to decline the dentist coming by to chat during a full checkup, because I know exactly what the dentist will tell me. It's the same every single year: "Everything looks good. Any changes to your health? By the way, you probably should consider getting your wisdom teeth removed. Still no pain from them? Well, keep it in mind. It gets tougher to recover from as you get older." It would save me the $100 or whatever he charges out for 5 minutes of his time.
