Zitat Dentists vary widely on diagnosis and cost, CBC Marketplace finds
Nearly every tooth in Theresa's mouth is in need of some kind of treatment — from root canals, veneers, and fillings to bridge replacements, whitenings and crowns — if you combine all the recommendations of 20 dentists she visited.
Theresa, a CBC researcher, went to a mixture of small and large dental offices in Toronto and Vancouver for a Marketplace episode, Money Where Your Mouth Is, airing on Friday.
By the end, the dentists had recommended treatments covering 19 different teeth, ranging from nighttime mouth guards to veneers promising a "complete smile makeover," with cost estimates ranging from $144 to $11,931.

Zitat Before visiting dental offices, Theresa underwent an examination by two expert dentists — University of Toronto professors Dorothy McComb, a restorative dentistry specialist, and Laura Tam, co-director of the faculty's Comprehensive Care Program.
According to their baseline treatment recommendation, Theresa had no tooth decay, needed several cleanings to fight gum disease and potentially needed a crown on one tooth, at a cost of about $1,800 to $2,000.
