Price guide
Our prices are based on allocating sufficient time, using appropriate materials, having available the latest equipment, and complying with all cross infection prevention requirements.
How can you compare dental treatment from one provider to another, especially before it's carried out?
The advice is with care. A poorly carried out procedure may have consequences for the rest of your lifetime. Probably it helps to get to know the person treating you by having one or two simple procedures carried out initially and buildiing to the more complex. We try to plan our treatment like this, unless a complex urgent problem must be dealt with.
Treatments may be called the same and as an unwary bystander you may think they are. If you are offered treatment at a comparatively low price you have to ask how this is being achieved. At the other end of the scale try to find out whether the treatment costs more than that carried out by specialists nearby. Many general dentists have built skills and standards similar to those of specialists and charge similar amounts. They have equipment and resources to deal with more complex problems in a controlled and successful manner.
Most dental treatment needs planning and careful execution. Cutting corners by reducing time, care and quality to compete on price is in no ones interest, so we don't do it. The NHS dental system expects and insists on low costs irrespective of the consequences, hence we decided in 1998 that we didn't want to take part in their game of public deception and had no future in the NHS. We believed we couldn't treat people with the care we consider necessary to provide a standard we would expect for ourselves.
If you need something urgently, but finance won't stretch to it, it's sometimes better to have it done cheaply rather than not at all, by agreeing to a temporary or short-term solution, so long as nothing is done to worsen the long -term outcome. Unless you are a dental professional , you will be unaware of those.
Although many are trying, by bringing in cheap labour from across the world for example, the words 'cheap' , 'dentistry' and 'good dental health' can't sustainably co-exist.
