cost of my dental treatment £900 per tooth

Q. Dear Dr Glaister,

Much appreciation and thanks for getting back.

I have had some treatment in that the UL1 has been prepped with a temporary veneer and UR an UL 3 have both been cosmetically bonded (contoured). People have noticed a big difference already. The only thing that scares me is this dentist filed my UL1 down to a pin for preparaion without explaining everything. I have a review this week before commencing any more treatment but I was shocked at how much tooth was removed and I was shaking at the end of this session.

He advised he could not give me a treatment plan or full costings although I am being given prices for each stage.Their website quotes £395, the receptionist told me £600,the dentist said £800 and now the practice manager tells me £900 per tooth.

I notice that this dentist does appear it the top ten UK cosmetic dentists lists and I have seen examples of his work on another dentist and the results do look great. It’s just that I don’t fancy having all my teeth filed down to pins as the majority of them are healthy.

Thanks again for your time - it really is appreciated.

A. Dear P
I would discuss your concerns with your existing dentist and once final costings are agreed upon you can then decide whether to have further elective procedures on your teeth

Kind regards

Dr J Glaister
