Discounts in dentistry: how not to make a mistake when buying an annual subscription

Discounts in dentistry — a very tempting offer for each of us. Even the treatment of shallow caries costs a lot, especially in expensive private clinics. The high cost of dental services and  the fear of the incompetence of the doctor leads to the fact that we treat teeth only in extreme cases.

Of course this is wrong. In a hurry, we may choose the wrong doctor, and the treatment itself will cost several times more than prevention. Therefore, subscriptions to & nbsp; dental clinics look so tempting, which give significant discounts on & nbsp; their services. But what risks should be taken into account when deciding on such a purchase?

Discounts in dentistry: why clinics introduce subscriptions

In a competitive environment, dental clinics also compete for clients and sometimes offer big discounts on dental services. It is beneficial for them if a person becomes a regular customer and brings family and friends. Therefore, some clinics began to implement loyalty programs for their clients. This means not only promotions for individual services, but and purchasing an annual subscription.

2. Good materials, equipment and  experience of a doctor can not be cheap. This is worth considering if you are offered discounts of 50% on expensive services.

3. For the duration of your membership, you are bound to a particular clinic. This can be difficult if you need to move or become dissatisfied with the services provided.

Why big discounts in dentistry may disappoint you

Despite the fact that dentistry is clearly an expensive branch of medicine, it also has tempting offers. Discounts can sometimes reach up to 90%, which attracts customers who want to save. There is nothing wrong with desire itself, no one wants to overpay for expensive services. But here it is important to consider that the result can be very disappointing.

If you get a poor-quality filling, then it may fall out or inflammation may begin under it. This requires retreatment of the tooth, which costs at least twice as much.

The secret of a good dentist is not even in what material he puts fillings from. The price in stomatology includes the purchase of modern equipment, the rent of a suitable room, and the advanced training of a doctor. Therefore, cheap dentistry usually saves at the expense of the patient's own health.

If you are offered a subscription with a very big discount on dental services, do not rush to buy it. Big discounts — it's a marketing ploy to attract customers. It is always worth remembering that quality treatment cannot be cheap. Therefore, such proposals — it is always a big risk to contact an unscrupulous clinic and in the end lose your money.
