How expensive will the treatment be? For patients who have decided in favour of dental restoration exceeding the financial scope of basic treatment, this is naturally an important question. But can prices for dental restorations be compared? Where do the sometimes considerable price differentials originate? A real price comparison – like comparing a craftsman’s invoice or the cost of an auto repair– is not really possible for an individual and personal service like dental treatment. From the diagnosis to the execution and the materials used, there are substantial differences.

Patients who base their choice on price alone are taking a certain risk. Slimming down the overall service package may perhaps mean sacrificing attractive aesthetics. But just consider how much money you spend on your appearance in daily life. Expenditures for fashionable clothing, fitness studios etc. are wasted investments if you have to do without a radiant smile.

And doing without high quality materials, precise execution, functionality, robust construction already involves a considerable health risk. As a patient, ultimately it’s up to you to decide what value you attach to your dental health.

The dentist will advise you impartially from the medical viewpoint regarding the advantages and disadvantages of different methods and materials.
