Prices vary between clinics for reasons that are not always visible on a quote. Understanding them makes it easier to compare like with like.
Materials and laboratory work
Crowns, veneers and dentures are made in a dental laboratory. The material chosen and whether the lab is in-house or external both affect the price.
Who carries out the treatment
Specialists such as orthodontists and periodontists have completed additional training, and their fees often reflect it.
What the quote includes
Ask whether the quote covers consultations, imaging, temporary restorations and follow-up visits, or only the main procedure.
Insurance and the public system
Check what your insurer covers before treatment starts, and ask the clinic whether it can provide the itemised documents your insurer needs.
