Guest LeanneSchatz Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 $757.00 for a full dental, iv fluids, propofol as the anesthesia, bloodwork, pain meds and two extractions of molars. Is this about right? This is the first dental that I have done for my girl. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGreys Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Judging by the prices here for a dental, that is very inexpensive Quote Missing my little Misty who took a huge piece of my heart with her on 5/2/09, and Ekko, on 6/28/12 For the sick, the lost, and the homeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UESBrindle Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 For where we are, that seems about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LeanneSchatz Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Judging by the prices here for a dental, that is very inexpensive That's good to know! I take her in tomrrow morning so I am sure I will post again! I am going to be a nervous wreck but she'll feel so much better afterwards (hopefully!)

CaliforniaGreys Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I remember that she goes in tomorrow, and I know you're nervous, we all get nervous. She'll feel much better, and try to remember to ask after the dental is they came out easy or if they were difficult. We'll be thinking of you both tomorrow Quote Missing my little Misty who took a huge piece of my heart with her on 5/2/09, and Ekko, on 6/28/12 For the sick, the lost, and the homeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they typically have to get stitches for extractions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandimom Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 HOLY MOLY! Maybe the going rate in AZ. Here in NV probably $300-$400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JarBear Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 A couple of years ago I would have said that's high but prices have really gone up. Now I'm going to say that's probably $300 less that I would pay here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WhenIGiveIn Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 OMG for around here that is insanley high! I had a dental and a neuter done at the same time and it was 330. oh that is with no extractions but extractions are $12 a tooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LeanneSchatz Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 This is just what they gave me over the phone so I am not sure on the price per extraction but I was actually expecting higher. There is another vet I can go to but I don't really trust the office or the staff. I took my girl there for a vaccine once and I just didn't feel that they were on the up and up. She's worth every penny. These girls are like my kids! I know we all feel that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I second the "Holy Moly!" It would NEVER be that much here. Guess it depends on where you are located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LeanneSchatz Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 It's almost hard to believe the price difference in each state! I used to live in Chicago so I can imagine that it would be more there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they typically have to get stitches for extractions? For the molars, yes she'll have a few stitches that will disolve Quote Missing my little Misty who took a huge piece of my heart with her on 5/2/09, and Ekko, on 6/28/12 For the sick, the lost, and the homeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamngrey Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 yep price varies due to area.

Guest Fasave Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I live in Boston and have a dental scheduled for next week at Angell Memorial Hospital. My guy is high risk due to PLN/PLE/IBD so they are having a board certified anethesiologist be part of the team. He is 10 and has already lost half his teeth and he will likely lose most if not all of the rest (21) due to severe periodontal disease and because he will not likely be able to have another dental in his lifetime. He is currently fighting an infection from a tooth so there are no options but to proceed. He has also been seen by a cardiologist and the dentist and Internal Medicine doc have been working out a plan for all his meds. With all that said, they gave me a quote of $750 - $1,100 and this includes a full set of x-rays. I was expecting WAY more. They price based on time of procedure versus the number of teeth and which teeth. His last dental was done by my regular vet and he lost 18 teeth and the total bill was $1,350. Angell Memorial is run by the MSPCA and is non-profit so I don't know if that factors into it or not. As far as I can tell, costs are all over the board for dentals. Thinking good thoughts for your pups dental! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eaglflyt Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 That's extremely expensive compared to prices in our area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greyvettech Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 That is very expensive. I'm sorry, but it seems as though the Dr. is pocketing a lot of that money... I would think $400 is more like it.... The clinic I work for, probably wouldn't even charge that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spencers_Greyt Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) What vet did you go to? Buzz just had a recent one with all that with 2 extractions plus had a mole removed and some extra meds and it was $550. I think it would have been around $350-$400 without the extras. Edited to add - Oh yeah you told me the vet you go to. I'm in Scottsdale where everything is more exensive and that price you quoted is way out of line in my opinion.

I have an appointment for Sizzle, my other girl to go in for her dental next week. I am debating moving it to either the vet you go to or back to Southside with Dr. Y. I just don't know what to do.

Guest sheila Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Sammy is going in for a dental on Monday. My vet charges $120 for a basic dental and I believe $4 for any extractions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest my3greys Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 We just had Reubens done again yesterday, cleaning and two molars extracted. Cost 549.00 and I thought that was high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsugrad Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Toby had his dental day before yesterday. It was a little over $300.00.

Guest littlesyd85 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Wow! $750 sounds expensive. It is about $400 here give or take, it all depends on extractions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest my3greys Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Reuben has very bad peridontal disease they told us. This was his second dental. Now they suggest a dental every 6 months! Yikes at almost 600.00 a shot, that is very expensive dentals. she also said a dental should be done every year! I was not aware of that. Any thoughts on this?
