Frequently asked questions about our fee structure
Why are veterinary dental referral fees higher than my dentist?
Unlike human dentistry, veterinary dental procedures are carried out under general anaesthesia to ensure patient safety, comfort, and clinical precision. This requires specialised anaesthetic equipment, highly trained veterinary and nursing staff, and continuous monitoring throughout both the procedure and recovery period.
Veterinary dentistry also requires a much wider range of specialised instruments to safely treat patients of vastly different sizes and anatomies — from cats and very small breed dogs to large dogs and even tigers, bears and wolves. In advanced procedures such as endodontics, standard human dental instruments are often unsuitable due to the length of animal tooth roots, which can be significantly longer than those found in humans. This means bespoke, specialised equipment is frequently required, contributing to higher equipment and procedural costs.
Treatment times are typically longer, and care is planned individually for each patient.
Why are referral dentistry fees higher than first-opinion practice?
Referral dentistry involves advanced diagnostics, specialist equipment, and vets with extensive additional postgraduate training and experience. Procedures are often more complex and time-intensive, requiring a higher level of clinical support and anaesthetic care.
What does a fixed-price procedure include?
Fixed-price procedures cover the cost of the planned treatment for certain cases, including clinical expertise, general anaesthesia, nursing care, hospitalisation, X-rays and standard consumables/medicines. They are designed to give clarity and avoid unexpected costs wherever possible.
What happens if a complication is found during treatment?
Complications or unexpected findings are rare, but when they do occur, additional treatment may be required to ensure the best outcome for your pet. Fixed prices do not include this additional work. Any changes to treatment plans or costs will be discussed with you before proceeding whenever possible.
Does being independent make a difference?
Yes. As an independent referral practice, we set our fees based on clinical need, time, expertise, materials and resources. This allows us to focus on delivering the most appropriate care for each individual case.
Will costs be discussed in advance?
Absolutely. We believe in clear communication and will always explain recommended treatments and fees before proceeding.
