📞 POV: When a patient calls and asks, “How much is it going to cost?” 😂
We get this question ALL the time! And we’re happy to give you a general starting point over the phone:
🦷 Filling? Starts at $200. One surface? Two? Three? A larger cosmetic restoration? It depends!
👑 Crown? $1,500–$3,000. But do you actually need a crown?
🦷 Root canal? $1,200–$2,300. Which tooth? How many canals?
🔧 Extraction? Simple or surgical? We need to see the tooth first!
✨ Bioclear? $250–$2,500. It depends on the tooth, the size of the restoration, and what we’re trying to achieve.
😁 Orthodontics? $5,500–$6,500.
✨ Teeth whitening? $600–$1,800.
Here’s the thing: Dentistry isn’t like buying a TV. 📺
You’re not calling three stores asking for the price of the exact same product.
Just last week, a patient came to us after being told he needed a crown. After examining his tooth, we were able to restore it with Bioclear instead — an option he hadn’t previously been offered.
Different dentists may recommend different approaches.
You’re not just paying for a procedure. You’re choosing a doctor’s judgment, skill, experience, and treatment philosophy.
So absolutely ask about price! But also ask:
What are my options? Why are you recommending this treatment? Is there a more conservative way to save my tooth?
An exam and X-rays help us determine what you actually need and provide an accurate estimate.
Because a cheaper crown isn’t a bargain if you didn’t need a crown in the first place. 😉
