Equine Dentists ~ How much do you pay?

[Rainbowrider]

I have just rang to book 3 of my horses in for their 6 monthly check up, and been told that the prices have gone up to £45 per horse! How much do you guys pay and can anyone recommend a good EDT in the Bucks / Oxon area? Thanks..

Think mine was £25 but went up this year to £30, £45 sounds very expensive, Colin Hill is a good equine dentist, think is based in Berks but may cover Bucks?

I pay £25 in Derbyshire which is quite good compared to some places but considering it only takes about 20 minutes still seems a lot!! I guess I'm paying for his expertise but he likes doing my mare as she's one of the rare ones who enjoys having hers done!

Paid £30 last time, but she is fantastic!!

i pay £45 once a year, my equine dentist is fantastic he does a lot of top class horses and does horses at numerous veterinary practices down south.

Mine charges £10 first time and then £20 6 months later, no charge if they don't need doing, she is trying to get her business underway... PM me if you want her number, she is in Worcs area.

Thats interesting, thanks. Do any of you use your vet to do teeth or always use an EDT?

Mine charges £20. They are visited every 6 months - he charges nothing if they don't need doing. I think we are advantaged though as he lives 2 minutes away!

About to get mine done for £25 per head, will be going up to £30 after crimbo.

Mine charges £35. But he is BRILLIANT i have used a lot of the dentists in this area and 2 of them made a real mess to the point my old one had to go to the vets!

I wouldnt use anyone else but this guy, i have him every 6 months but hoping to drop to anually when his teeth are sorted out (they were a mess)

Having used the vet and the EDT i would always choose the EDT, the vet did what i needed took the hooks off but they have not enough dental experience to rasp the teeth in a beneficial way, so all you get is the worse taken off, no shaping or restructuring

Mine was £30 but gone up to £35 this year but worth every penny.They are brilliant.

Paid £30 and very good, but that is Nottingham/Derbyshire Area.........

 

[KatB]

£35, but he does all the work for the big vets near us. Is very good.

I use Garry Draper - costs £20 and he does an excellent job. I have him every 8 months. If a horse does not need doing he does not charge me.

 

[hussar]

£35 per horse every 6 months.

 

[BBs]

Mine is from Oxon and her prices have increased also but to £30

 

[seaofdreams]

i used grant chanter and im in bucks, i think he is £35.00 but i have him out to just my horse so the travelling cost isn't split
i wouldn't use anyone else, he is so good and patient with them and he even managed to do my horse with a serious head shy problem i didn't think this horse would let him anyware near him.

 

[lornaA]

£40 for mine to get done though another dentist does them for £30

 

[dingle12]

30 once a year

 

[Rainbowrider]

Seaofdreams - do you have his number? PM me if you don't want to put it on here. Where about in Bucks is he from?
Thanks
