How our estimates work
- Examination. We look at your teeth, gums and bite and take X-rays or a 3D scan where needed.
- Options. We explain what we found and the options, including simpler or lower-cost ones where they’re sensible.
- Written estimate. Each item is listed, so you can see what you’re paying for.
- Your decision. You can take it home, think it over and ask questions. Nothing starts until you agree.
- Staging. Larger plans can be split into stages, with urgent and foundation work first.
What changes the cost of treatment
| Factor | Example |
|---|---|
| What the tooth needs | A small filling vs a root canal and crown |
| Which tooth | Molars have more roots and are harder to reach |
| Materials | Zirconia or E-max vs metal-ceramic; composite vs GIC |
| The lab | Crowns, veneers and dentures made by different labs |
| Extra steps | Bone grafting, a post, a build-up, a gum treatment first |
| Specialist time | Complex root canals, surgical extractions, implants |
| Number of visits | Re-treatments and staged treatment |
How to compare quotes fairly
- Compare like with like. Is it the same material, the same brand of implant, the same lab?
- Check what’s included. X-rays, scans, temporary crowns, build-ups, follow-up visits.
- Ask who does the treatment. A general dentist or a specialist for complex cases.
- Ask what happens if something goes wrong, and whether reviews are charged.
- Be wary of very low headline prices that leave out essentials.

Saving on dental treatment, sensibly
The most effective way to keep dental costs down is to catch problems early. A check-up and cleaning every six to twelve months finds decay while it needs a small filling, and gum disease while it needs a clean, not surgery. See how often to get a check-up.
Questions patients ask us
Why don't you publish prices?
Because two people asking for the same treatment rarely need the same thing. A "root canal" can be a front tooth or a re-treatment of a molar; an "implant" may or may not need a bone graft. A fee given before we've seen you would either be wrong or full of exceptions.
Do I pay for the consultation?
Ask us when you book; we'll tell you the consultation fee upfront, along with any X-rays or scans that are needed.
Can I pay in stages?
Yes. Larger treatment such as implants, full-mouth work or braces is usually paid stage by stage as it's done. Ask us about current payment arrangements.
Will the price change during treatment?
Not without your agreement. If we find something unexpected, such as a tooth that needs a root canal after all, we stop, explain it, and give you the revised fee before continuing.
Does health insurance cover dental treatment?
Most Indian health policies don't cover routine dental treatment. Some cover dental treatment after an accident. We provide itemised bills if you want to claim.
