My dentist has suggested I have 2 teeth bridged - they broke years ago and were badly filled. One filling came out yesterday so I guess its time to do it.
I am single parent so the cost is going to be really difficult for me to bare.
Band 3 treatment is £225. If I need 2 teeth done does it cover both or just one?
I need to be prepared as other people gave thought he is charging more than he should for work.

One. You should get a printed treatment plan with costings that you sign prior to treatment (I'm a dentist)

Thanks for your reply- So it will be £225 per tooth?

No, the treatment is banded, anything you need during this course of treatment will be one band 3 payment
