According to experts, one in three dental bills is inaccurate or overstated. A key issue is the lack of transparency when it comes to costs, which leads to a loss of trust among patients. Lovely Smile discloses its prices and services – with no hidden surprises.
A recently published investigation by the tabloid Blick shines a spotlight on a problem that affects many patients but is rarely discussed in public: excessive dental bills. According to experts, one in three bills is incorrect or overstated. The case examined in the investigation shows that even dentists who are members of the Swiss Dental Association (SSO) are subject to criticism.
One patient who turned to Blick received a bill that was over 700 francs too high. The patient’s loss of trust was not only towards the practice, but also towards the entire SSO institution, among other things because his dentist is a member of this association.
Unfortunately, such incidents are not uncommon. Time and again, we hear stories from patients who are annoyed about unclear services, unexpected additional costs or non-transparent price lists. In a sensitive area such as healthcare, where trust is central, this is particularly serious.
This is precisely where we, as Lovely Smile, come in. In addition to our modern treatment techniques, transparency is very important to us. That is why you will find all our offers listed on our website in an understandable way and with the price. This way, you always know in advance what treatment to expect and what costs are involved. There are no surprises with us.
We particularly recommend our Longevity subscription. It includes two comprehensive check-ups per year. This enables us to detect incipient caries early on, before it causes any discomfort. If caries is actually detected, we treat it painlessly, gently and at no extra cost as part of the subscription.
This way, you can protect not only your dental health, but also your bank balance in the long term.
