Why Do Dental Treatment Prices Vary?

Why Do Dental Treatment Prices Vary?

People Asked:

It’s a fair question! At Liberty Dental Centre, we find it usually boils down to three main things: the skill of the operator, the materials used, and the range of specialised services offered.

Why Do Dental Treatment Prices Vary?

Ever noticed how one clinic’s quote for a filling or a crown can be a world away from another’s? If you’re living around Wheelers Hill or Mount Waverley, you want to know you’re getting the best value without compromising on quality.

Dr Marian Bassalious explains that not all dental care is created equal. Here are the three big reasons why prices can shift:

The Three Pillars of Dental Pricing

The Skill of the Operator

You have to have confidence that the dentist performing your treatment is highly skilled and has performed the procedure many times over. Experience and precision often dictate the longevity of the work, especially for complex transformations like Dental Veneers.

The Quality of Materials Used

In dentistry, there are high-quality materials and then there are materials that aren’t so high-quality. We choose materials that are built to last and look natural, ensuring your Invisalign or restorative work stands the test of time.

The Range of Specialised Services

Some clinics offer specialised options that others simply don’t. For example, we offer Sleep Dentistry for patients who are anxious or for complex surgical procedures like wisdom teeth and Dental Implants. While this is a bit more expensive than being awake, it makes a massive difference for comfort.

 

Honest Care You Can Trust

We believe in being upfront about our costs so there are no nasty surprises. Our goal is to provide the families of Wheelers Hill and Mount Waverley with world-class care that combines top-tier tech with a bit of heart.

      • If this is identified during your examination, your treating clinician will explain the condition and discuss the most appropriate treatment recommendations with you.
      • In these circumstances, the standard clean included in the promotion may not be clinically appropriate and therefore may not be performed at that appointment.

      • For patients with private health insurance, eligible dental item numbers associated with the services provided during the appointment will be processed through your health fund.
      • Health fund rebates vary depending on your level of cover.
      • In some cases, your health fund rebate may exceed the promotional package fee of $249. Any excess rebate cannot be refunded, credited, or transferred toward other treatment or future appointments.
      • If the health fund rebate is below $249, you will be required to pay the difference
    6. This promotion cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer, promotion, government scheme, or discount. Liberty Dental Centre reserves the right to amend or withdraw this promotion at any time without notice.
