HOW MUCH DOES DENTAL TREATMENT COST
This is a very common question, especially at the beginning of the year, when everyone makes “New Year's resolutions”, they want to have perfect teeth, improve their appearance to have more self-confidence and a beautiful smile to look good in photos!
Firstly, according to the Code of Ethics of the Federal Council of Dentistry and all State Councils, it is prohibited to disclose prices without a clinical examination. Therefore, if a colleague is disclosing the price, be suspicious! The dentist who acts like this is already disrespecting a code that he has committed to respecting. This is no longer a good sign.
It is not possible to give a price over the phone without even examining the patient. People often ask the secretary for a “notion” of values, but upon examination, we see that the case is different. There are people who come in wanting to have whitening and the main problem is teeth that are darkened due to bad root canal treatment. Sometimes the pain that seems to be due to a root canal problem is due to bruxism, or gum disease... And so on!
A very important thing to understand how much you will spend to have a dream smile are the factors that make up the price of dental treatment.
1-FACILITIES. First of all, let's remember that for medical procedures, the hospital cost is paid separately. In dentistry, the cost of the “hospital” is included in the price, that is, the facilities themselves, the entire infrastructure of the office, with all biosafety, make up the price of the treatment. Here we have the best and most technological in dentistry today.
2-TEAM. Furthermore, the cost involves the specialist dentist's labor, his years of experience, his reputation and the cases already carried out. Here at our clinic, all dentists are experts in their fields, as we only work with very qualified people, dentists from USP who have been with me since they were interns. As we are a multidisciplinary team, that is, we cover all areas of dentistry, we can plan together to offer the most appropriate solution for each case.
Our assistants (support team) have a technical level, registered with the CRO and have serious training, so they are aware of what they are doing and can accompany the team during the service.
3-HIGH QUALITY MATERIAL- The material we use is of the highest quality, both consumables and appliances are mostly imported and kept in perfect working order.
Know that how much we earn, what goes into my pocket is a small portion of what you will pay. Generally less than 20% comes in and 80% are all the costs involved.
These factors mentioned are part of the cost of the treatment and directly impact the durability, comfort and aesthetics of the result. Be careful with those colleagues who make a cheap package because somewhere they are saving money and this means a drop in durability and quality. Our patients expect the best and we offer the best in dentistry! Friendly service, without rushing, with the utmost care and with the best materials.
Furthermore, we always offer patients several treatment alternatives that suit their budget. We like to make it very clear what will be done, with the steps well explained, with a date for the beginning, middle and end of the treatment. Everything is documented and delivered in files, digital or printed, to patients.
So, answering this frequently asked question, come and have an initial consultation here at EM Odontologia, because only in person, examining your case carefully, scanning in 3D, taking photographs to study and carrying out exams (we have a radiological center here at the clinic!), can we offer the best customized option for your treatment.
Our secretary can inform you of the cost of the initial consultation over the phone or via WhatsApp.
