Any dentists? Is this how much fillings should be?

[Annon12345]

Hi all,
With a private dentist practice I've been with for years with denplan and need two fillings. One is which is a repair the fractured tooth and one repair to current filling. The quote says lower molar posterior composite filling x 2 with denplan discount £400
Is this the norm now? Its? One the them is a small fracture and I'm thinking of shopping around?! Absolutely no chance of nhs places anywhere near us either
Thanks

Yes that’s about right. It depends on how long the appointment is tho not how big the filling is
most dentists not on the nhs charge by time / minutes / how long they want for each procedure - so much easier to work out / be fair

Fair enough. The appointment was planned for 40 mins. I've just cancelled it and signed up with a chain of dentists that have cheaper prices on their website, hopefully it will be! Yikes!

I paid £400 for one on the NHS.

Paid £85 for one, upper molar, some 22 years ago. The first composite filling I had. He'd just gone independant. It fell out. I went back and he tried to charge me the full amount. I refused to pay on the grounds that if a plumber fixed a leak that came back I wouldn't pay twice. He wasn't happy, but accepted the logic.
Allowing for inflation during 22 years it's gone up 2.5 times. Less than house or car prices I suppose.
