Sorry to bother you again J - I have priced another dentist (private) (not been to see him) but explained on the phone that I would like to go down the route of bridge teeth. This is NOT my original dentist as I find the manager of the old dentists very intimidating.

Anyway as you would know the work is all done - just impressions (to me) and he has quoted me £3,300 (private). Would this be correct or would I need to go to original dentist and maybe get a bit cheaper. Thanks for your help.

Oh JJ I would not go by price, I really wouldn’t. Don’t you have anyone who could recommend you a dentist who they trust? I am not saying that the most expensive is always the best, just that cost is no indicator of anything.

I agree with woofgang. If possible get a personal recommendation. Go for the best you can afford rather than the cheapest you can find.

The above answers are very sensible. You cannot go on price alone. You must feel comfortable with whoever you see, understand the treatment that they are proposing, be aware of the risks and benefits, be aware of alternative treatments and understand the costs involved.

The costs of a bridge can vary considerably, mainly depending upon their size, materials that they are constructed from, the quality of the laboratory work, the practice overheads, and whether the practitioner is a registered specialist.

Asking if £3,300 is correct for 'a bridge' is a bit like asking if this is correct the correct price for 'a car'. I can't really answer that - sorry.
