DENTAL FEES ...... a sensitive issue
Although fees can vary widely from one practitioner to another, many people still regard private dental treatment as expensive. What are the elements that make up the dental fee you are asked to pay?
By adding the value factor, you can judge objectively what quality you are buying, as well as how long dental restorations should last.
HIGH STANDARDS
When we think about the price tag, many of us are inclined to delay regular dental treatment. Why do prices vary so much? And are they exaggerated? To gain greater understanding, you have to appreciate that dentistry is a specialist field. You expect your dentist to be well trained and equipped, and to pay full attention to your needs. By definition, therefore, such services cannot be low-priced.
WHERE DOES YOUR MONEY GO?
Professional expertise
Becoming a dentist is expensive: a five-year university courses to start with and then a string of educational courses afterwards. To stay ahead in their fields, some dentists attend many more courses than the minimum required. Would you entrust your dental health and care to less expert hands?
Capital investment
In terms of high-tech equipment, a dental practice can resemble a mini-hospital.
There is the special dental unit and chair, x-ray unit, sterilizing autoclaves, special lights for hardening fillings and host of other advanced equipment - all costing thousands of pounds. In addition, every treatment uses many disposables such as diamond dental burs (at 2-5 pounds a piece), anaesthetic needles, filling materials, gloves and more. All these contribute to substantial surgery overhead costs.
A skilled support team
When you buy dental services, you expect efficiency, courtesy and care from a skilled team of professionals. This will include a professional dental nurse and a practice manager/receptionist, as well as the dentist- all of whom expect fair payment for their time. Now add highly qualified dental technicians who make your crowns, veneers and dentures. The quality of their work is reflected in the fees that they charge your dentist.
Convenient location
It is quite likely that you will prefer visiting a dentist close to your workplace rather than your home. Any dental practice located in the city centre will need to charge higher fees to reflect the higher inner city rents. This is especially true of dental practices in high-cost areas.
Personal care
Would you prefer to be one of ten patients that your dentist sees every day, or one of thirty? To give you personal attention during treatment, your dentist needs time - listen to you, consider the choices and solutions to offer, wait for the anaesthetic to take effect and perform the procedure with precision. A dentist cannot look after your long-term interest if he or she is undertaking 'conveyor-belt' dentistry.
THE TRADE-OFF
WHY SO MUCH VARIATION IN FEES?
The value of the whole 'package' - expertise, location, modern facilities and efficiency - determines why fees vary so much. All cars have four wheels, yet a Fiat gives you a different set of promises to a Mercedes. To a great extent, therefore, your value assessment depends on how important dental health is for you.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE MORE 'EXPENSIVE' DENTIST?
Latest expertise
Confidence and even evidence that your dentist knows about the latest technology and undertakes continuous educational training.
Thinking power
Time and intellectual thought about the best solutions and alternative choices appropriate for your specific needs and circumstances.
Connections
Having a network of the best specialists in related dental fields and making it easy for you to have access to them quickly.
Adequate time
Allocating the time to listen to you and explain. The dentist will discuss all options and provide you with treatment that is built to last.
Aesthetic sense
Aesthetics is fundamental requirement for providing dental care. Today's top dentists need to have an 'artistic' eye!
Vocational passion
Without high energy and love for dentistry, the dentist cannot take pride and responsibility for the treatment he or she provides.
And finally... your satisfaction
Evidence that you have obtained a well functioning, healthy and comfortable mouth- and a confident smile.
Are your dentist's fees appropriate?
To find out, refer to your previous experience or do some research about dentists. Do not be afraid to seek a second or even third opinion. Assess the 'dental package' that you are offered, and trust your instincts.
