It can be rather difficult to do an estimated treatment plan & cost without doing a clinical exam or without photos and X-rays. The prices included in this document should be used as general guidelines and not be relied upon as exact quotes. Each treatment plan will be different and may require additional services.
When a request is made for a treatment cost estimate, when a treatment course has all ready been recommended by another dentist, there can be a big risk of discrepancies.
Treatment plans can vary a lot amongst dentists. Many times people that come to our office have been told they need 10 veneers in their upper jaw and 10 veneers in their lower jaw. Sometimes we will disagree with that treatment plan and discuss alternatives with the patient to arrive at his or her real needs. Then, we try to determine the best solution for that particular patient and provide reasoning and justifications for doing so.
We are not saying the treatment plan already proposed is wrong but there are different approaches to solving different problems.
The final treatment plan and cost can only be given after a proper clinical exam and X-rays.

Consider this: If you are going to live with crowns in your mouth for the next 10-20 years do you want them to be done in the best possible way?
