All of us here at Shelbourne Dental Clinic welcome the new Code of Practice from the Dental Council relating to the display of professional fees.
According to the new Code published yesterday, all Irish dentists in general practice will have to display a single fee for a minimum range of specified treatments such as an examination or an x-ray as well as range of fees for more complex treatments, such as restorations, surgical extractions, crowns etc.
The Code of Practice is effective from 1 June 2011. Here at Shelbourne Dental Clinic, we already have our fees on display at reception and on our website. A hard copy of our fees is also available upon request from reception.
Recently, the Dental Council has also published guidance for members of the public on the criteria they should use in choosing a dentist.
