Why do prices differ between clinics?
Complexity, material choice, tooth location, laboratory work, additional procedures and follow-up all change cost. Ask whether imaging, medication, reviews, retainers, implant components or crowns are included.
How to compare dental quotations
Compare complete scope, not headline price. For implants, confirm whether implant, abutment, crown, surgery, imaging and follow-up are included. For aligners, ask about refinements and retainers. For crowns and veneers, ask which material and laboratory are specified.
Planning treatment for NRNs
Cleaning, examinations, some fillings and simple extractions may take one or two appointments. Root canals with crowns, implants, orthodontics and extensive restorative care require more planning. Obtain a realistic schedule before booking travel.
Is dental treatment cheaper in Nepal?
Treatment can cost less than in many higher-cost healthcare markets, but there is no reliable percentage for every procedure. Compare itemised plans using comparable materials, stages and follow-up.
