Treatments/Fees

New Patients

Your first appointment will take about half an hour.  Following a preliminary examination there will be a discussion on the type and costs of the treatment involved.  If you or your child is ready for treatment then the initial records are also taken at this appointment. This involves xrays, photographs and impressions of your teeth.  A review appointment is then booked within a few weeks and at this visit a treatment plan is finalised and any further questions you may have answered.

Fees

A consultation fee of €80 is payable at your first appointment.  This will cover any necessary x-rays and impressions of your teeth and a subsequent review appointment to finalise your treatment plan a few weeks later.  Once a treatment plan is finalised then the fees for treatment will be discussed.  These fees are related to the complexity of the case, the time treatment is likely to take and the type of appliances involved.Treatment for younger patients usually takes 18 – 24 months and comprehensive treatment for adults can take 24 -30 months and we break your fees up into four installments over this period of time.  Sometimes adults may request just simple alignment of front teeth and this can be discussed with you at the time of your consultation.  Treatment time in these cases would be a lot shorter.

The fees include all necessary appointments (usually every 6 weeks) and the provision of retainers afterwards.  This will also include follow up appointments for two years after your active treatment to check retainers.  The only other charge will be for the provision of new retainers due to wear and tear or loss.  A new retainer costs €100 to cover laboratory fees.

There are no consultation fees for subsequent family members and there is a 10% discount given on treatment fees to these patients
