- Location: CBD and premium-suburb chair rates are 30-50% above outer suburbs and regional
- General dentist versus specialist (endodontist, prosthodontist, periodontist)
- Lab fees and material choice for crowns, implants and veneers
- Number of surfaces or canals: a one-surface filling versus three, a front tooth versus a molar root canal
- Whether X-rays, fluoride and follow-up reviews are bundled in the quoted fee
Is it cheaper to extract than to save the tooth?
An extraction is $200-$600, far less than a root canal, but replacing the tooth later with an implant costs $3,500-$7,300; saving a restorable tooth is usually the lower lifetime cost.
Where a tooth is not restorable, extraction with a planned replacement is the appropriate path; ask for both options itemised.
