Dentist salaries seem to range between £70-200k depending on experience, specialty, etc.
- arethuza 2y agoBone graft and implant for a single tooth can be up to £9K...
- nlnn 2y agoFor sure, stuff like implants, cosmetic dentistry, braces, crowns etc. still cost a non-trivial amount (though hopefully most are once in a lifetime things).
- arethuza 2y agoYeah - I had a dental bone graft a few months back and I certainly hope its a once in a lifetime thing! NB No criticism of the dentist that did it - took two dentists and an assistant nearly 5 hours and they have an impressive amount of kit...
- ninalanyon 2y agoA Cerec crown created on a CNC machine with the aid of 3D imaging costs about 500 GBP at my dentist in Norway including the work.
- lol768 2y agoQuite happy paying £26.80 / £73.50 for all of that. It's in a country's interests to help maintain the public's health, and that includes subsidising their dental costs (otherwise, they end up taking up primary care time instead).
- ricardobayes 2y agoVery similar prices in Spain too, funny how the UK is generally considered _very_ expensive for dental work, in fact I just paid 40 EUR for an x-ray here yesterday.
