cost of my dental treatment £900 per tooth

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008
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.

I have teeth gaps do your teeth get filed down to pegs for veneers

Monday, February 25th, 2008
Q.
I have gaps in my top set of teeth and have always wanted to be rid of them and have an even gap free smile. I have been browsing the web to see that this problem is more often than not gotten rid of with veneers however I was under the impression your own teeth get filed down to mere pegs for the veneers to be fitted please can you confirm if this is the case, thank you.
