Ellie had oral surgery a year ago. The high end estimate was $1000 but it only turned out to be $600. She had no root canals or sealants but she had nine adult teeth pulled. For the most part, I think vets undercharge but $1200 is a lot. I would hope that includes preop bloodwork and and IV?
The $600 included the nine extractions, cleaning, OraVet (I recommend it), xrays, IV cath, preop bloodwork, anesthesia (isoflurane) and a recheck appt (free). I think Ellie's vet is fairly priced or maybe slightly undercharges but most people think they are HIGH, so I don't know what they would do with your estimate.
