Hello,

My tooth recently cracked whilst I was eating. I went to the dentist (a private one as I can’t get an NHS dentist). He took x rays and told me that I have a number of problems with my teeth. He suggested a couple of gold onlays and also another filling. In total this will cost me over £2000 (the breakdown is below). I wanted to know if this is a reasonable price. 

Many thanks

The alignment of the middle section is a bit askew - I'd love to be able to get away with charging £400 for a local anaesthetic!

But other than that - the charges are about inline with what I'd charge.
Obviously - I cant comment on the actual treatment plan - but the charges are pretty average

Many thanks for that
