Dental Treatment Costs

[mintymow]

In August I paid for band two treatment for one filling of a front tooth. It came out the same day! It was filled again and lasted until a week or so ago. I am now going today for the preparation for a crown. My question is did I just pay for one band of treatment that didn't work and now have to pay over £200 for another treatment only a short time later. I thought a payment covered you for a certain length of time and perhaps I should only pay the difference between the two costs.

God only knows. I'd ask my dentist for ya, but she's on one of her trips away, paid for by me ;)

Having had the prep treatment for my crown, I now know I have to pay the full amount regardless of the previous treatment. Had it just been another filling it would have been covered it seems but not the crown oh well easy come easy go !! Thanks for the responses and it is NHS.

You should just pay the Band 3 fee which will cover both the crown and the filling
