Transparent Consent & Pricing
Bill shock destroys trust. You deserve a written plan and a real choice before anything irreversible.
Written estimates · optional vs essential explained · no treatment without your yes
Many people avoid dentists because they fear being sold treatments they do not need — or agreeing to something mid-chair without understanding the cost. That fear is rational, and it is exactly why we built consent and pricing into how we communicate.
Before any significant procedure, you receive a plain-language explanation of what we recommend, what is optional, what it costs and what happens if you wait. You sign only when it makes sense to you.
Psychologically, control reduces anxiety. When you know the number and the reason, you can say yes with confidence — or no without guilt.
How we protect your peace of mind
Safety is not only clinical — it is emotional. These are the promises we keep before any instrument reaches your mouth.
Written estimates
Major treatments come with itemized costs before you commit. No “we will see after opening it up” surprises without prior discussion.
Essential vs optional
We separate what protects health now from what is cosmetic or can wait — so you can prioritize without pressure.
Second opinions welcome
We encourage questions and comparisons. A confident clinic does not fear you checking elsewhere.
What you can expect
- Consultation fees and scope are clear at booking.
- X-rays and scans are taken only when clinically justified — we explain why each image helps.
- Payment options and instalment plans (where available) are discussed upfront for larger treatments.
- You can take the treatment plan home and decide — we do not treat urgency you do not feel.
How it works at Dentara
Findings shown on screen where possible — you see what we see.
Options, timelines and costs documented — including what happens if you defer.
Treatment starts only after you understand and agree. Change your mind? We respect that.
Questions patients often ask
Honest answers reduce fear. If yours is not listed, call us — we would rather explain twice than leave you guessing.
Will you recommend unnecessary treatments?
Our reputation depends on honest care. We document clinical reasons for every recommendation — ask for them anytime.
Can I get a cost estimate on the phone?
Ballpark ranges for common treatments yes; exact quotes need an exam because every mouth differs.
What if the plan changes mid-treatment?
We pause, explain what changed and why, and agree new costs before continuing — except true emergencies where delay would harm you.
