Why Do Dental Costs Vary So Much?

The cost of dental care services varies for a number of reasons; including:

• The health and quality of the underlying teeth and gums. This can vary dramatically from patient to patient. We like to use an analogy when it comes to the quality of teeth and gums. It is a bit like comparing the foundations of your house; if they are not strong, then it is hard to build a brilliant new extension on the old house.
• The type of material used. Whether composite (plastic), ceramic or gold materials are used will have a strong bearing on the costs of your dental procedure. Different materials vary greatly in terms of both time preparation and the number of visits required.
• What treatment or procedures you actually need
• How extensive and what level of treatment you need
• The current condition of your teeth
• Your level of health insurance (sometimes health insurance does not cover the cost of treatments such as cosmetic dental procedures)
• The scope of treatment required; whether one or multiple teeth are involved
• And finally, how durable and ‘perfect’ you want the final result to be. Are you happy with a good wool carpet for your home’s floors or are you expecting Italian marble?!

It is important to keep in mind that, when it comes to dental care, the age-old adage is true: you really do get what you pay for. Cheap dentistry is exactly that. The better the quality of your dental treatment, the more likely it is to last for years, or even the rest of your lifetime (if carefully maintained). The boost to your confidence and self-esteem, as well as the actual functioning of your teeth and mouth, should be above looking for the cheapest bargain!
