Will dental work cost a fortune?

Your dentist should discuss treatment options and give you a written plan and estimate of cost. Prices vary depending on location, practitioner and materials. Tray whitening treatments start from around £300, laser whitening from about £500, simple composite bonding to reshape a single tooth from £150, and veneers or crowns from about £500.
