Seriously I'm willing to pay a couple of thousand if they could give me those 'before and after' advert teeth (the after ones I mean). I doubt they could though as a private dentist told me 2 years ago that the only way that could be achieved is by veneers and they can't be fitted on my bottom teeth, due to how my jaws line up she told me. If I was told yesterday that if I don't go ahead with their treatment, due to them not being able to offer treatment, then I don't have to pay the £75 I'd be up for it. I'm not being a tight wad here as 2 years ago I paid £250 for this gel pack and a kind of molded gum shield that held the gel while it supposedly whitened my teeth. I'm willing to pay anything(ish) just as long as I'm not being taken for a ride!
Maybe just believe what you’ve been told before by a qualified private dentist 🤷♀️ rather than the tosh they advertise on TV? Were your teeth actually any whiter?
I sometimes wish I'd been offered the option of having all my teeth out before they started the radiotherapy treatment. I didn't know I'd end up in this predicament all those years ago. In fact I wasn't told of my/about osteoradionecrosis till I had a 'concerned about stuff found by a dentist' visit to the maxillofacial clinic nearly 6 years ago. "You do realise extractions are almost impossible" I was asked/told. They also added that I must mention this to any dentist suggesting tooth extraction as it won't be on any records they have access to.
I went in this aft' and found they only charge £20 for a consultation/assessment and scale. One of their dentists walked by as I was talking to the receptionist. I stopped him and asked if my front bottom teeth could be fixed, pulling my bottom lip down to show him the damage. Straight away he said "I can fix those easily". I also mentioned the osteoradionecrosis. He said it won't be a problem as it's the top of the teeth that needs attention, not the base or the root. Looking at their price list, it's £270 for crowns and £400 for gold ones. Three teeth need capping, so maybe have one gold one.🤔
I'd go for one gold, one silver, one bronze and refer to them as your podium teeth👍
Is that £282.80 for one cap/crown? If so it's more than the private one charges I went to see today.🤔 The NHS dentist I saw yesterday won't have any vested interest in the private department of the practice as he told me that it was his last day there and he was moving to another practice.
generally thats for all thats needed
Or its as he said in the original post, not eligible on the NHS as its cosmetic...
How is he going to fix them easily if he’s left the practice? 🤷♀️
Right so the prices were NHS (albeit not exact)
The dentist who said he could fix them easily is the private one I saw yesterday. The dentist who's now left the practice he was with is the NHS dentist I saw on Monday.
The prices I quoted in post 21 are for the private dental practice.
