Reading the replies
Look for specifics that cost the clinic something to state: a named clinician, a named implant system, a warranty with conditions, a refund rule with dates. Vague generosity — “everything is included”, “full guarantee” — is cheaper to write than to honour.
Then compare the replies against our price records for the same treatment. A quote far below the observed range is not automatically a bargain; it is a question to ask, and now you have the list to ask it with.
