Why quotations from two practices differ so much

Anyone who lays two treatment and cost plans for the same restoration side by side often finds differences of several hundred euros. That rarely has to do with the dentist's fee — that is largely fixed.

The difference lies in the laboratory costs. A master laboratory round the corner calculates differently from a laboratory abroad, and both deliver quality that may differ — but does not necessarily.

Ask which laboratory does the work and where it is based. That is not an impolite question, but one that every practice can answer.
