Why Dental Treatment at Drs Demajo is Worth Every Cent
Dental care is essential for your overall health, but when patients see the price tag attached to certain procedures, one question naturally arises: Why does dental treatment cost so much? The truth is, that dental fees are not arbitrary. They reflect a combination of complex factors ranging from the technology involved and materials used, to the skill and time required from professionals. At Drs Demajo Dental Clinics, we are breaking down what really goes into the cost of dental treatment.
Expertise and Time of the Dental Team
Dentistry is a highly skilled profession. Dentists undergo years of education and ongoing professional development to stay up-to-date with modern techniques and best practices. In addition to your dentist, a full team of hygienists, dental nurses, and sometimes specialists work together to ensure safe and effective treatment. Their time, training, and expertise are a fundamental cost component. Have you met our team of skilled professionals? Click here to see our full team!
Type and Complexity of the Procedure
Not all dental treatments are created equal. A routine cleaning is far less complex (and less expensive) than a root canal, dental implant, or orthodontic work. The more intricate the procedure, the more time, resources, and precision are needed which of course directly affects the price.

Materials Used
High-quality materials make a significant difference in both the performance and longevity of your dental treatment. For example:
- Fillings may be made from composite resin, porcelain, or amalgam, each with its own cost.
- Crowns and bridges require durable and aesthetic materials.
- Implants involve surgical-grade titanium.
While cheaper alternatives exist, reputable dental clinics prioritise biocompatibility, durability, and aesthetics, which come at a higher cost.
Technology and Equipment
Modern dentists like Drs Demajo Dental Clinics rely on advanced technology that enhances precision and patient comfort. Think digital X-rays, 3D imaging, intraoral scanners, laser treatments, and CAD/CAM systems. These technologies require significant investment and regular maintenance, and their use is factored into the cost of your dental treatment.
Infection Control and Safety Measures
Strict hygiene protocols are mandatory in any dental setting to protect patients and staff. From sterilising tools and using disposable items to implementing advanced air filtration systems, these safety measures require ongoing investment. Particularly after COVID-19, enhanced PPE and safety protocols have become a standard expectation.
Personalised Care and Follow-Ups
Good dental care doesn’t end when you leave the chair. Your treatment often includes:
- Pre-treatment consultations
- Diagnostic imaging
- Custom treatment planning
- Post-treatment follow-ups
The personalised nature of dental care means more time is spent ensuring the best outcomes and that adds value (and cost) to your care.
Investing in Your Smile
Dental treatment is an investment in your health, confidence, and quality of life. While upfront costs can at times seem high, postponing care can lead to more extensive (and expensive) problems later on. By understanding what goes into the cost of dental treatment, patients can feel more informed and reassured that they’re paying for quality, safety, and long-term value.If you have concerns about the cost of a specific dental treatment, we invite you to reach out to us today.
