A multi-tooth quote should explain why those teeth are proposed and what is included. Multiplying a per-tooth number is only a preliminary arithmetic exercise.
What to discuss at your appointment
Use the cost guide to create a rough budget, then request a written case total. Include diagnostic records, previews, provisional work, and any recommended appliance if the office charges separately. Compare a smaller plan with the larger one. The right tooth count should follow your goals and clinical assessment.
Three questions to take with you
- Why six or eight teeth?
- What extras are separate?
- Can I compare a smaller plan?
Plan your next step
Write down the answers, the proposed appointments, and any information the office needs from you. If the explanation is unclear, ask for a written summary before deciding. Your own goals and the findings of an examination should guide the final choice.
