His services were ok. He did the check-up, scale and clean just fine. But his prices to me were outrageous. I was silly enough to assume it would be a standard charge and had an idea of what it might be.

But it maybe because he is in the city centre. Location I guess. But here it is:

For an examination/consultation - $80
Scale and polish - $150
For pixture/toothbrush head - $20
Cost of treatment - $250
G.S.T. - $31.25
TOTAL - 281.25

So basically, for a session that barely lasted half an hour with a quick check of my teeth and a scale and polish with a few extras thrown in (pixtures and electric tooth brush head) he charges me nearly 300 dollars.....

Now maybe that's quite normal, but to me it seemed over the top. This is in New Zealand dollars, so I am unsure what that would be in US. Afterwards I rang another dentist out of curiosity to see what their charges were and they were radically cheaper! I wish I could recall the costs over the phone, but it was less than half that amount.

What also annoyed me greatly was. Over the phone I was told they would give me an xray. Yet once I was there? They then told me their xray machine was out of order so it couldn't be used. They waited till I was in the chair to tell me that. I guess just in case I had decided to go elsewhere.
