Indeed, purchasing restorations on the NHS should not be an excuse for poor quality, although there is definitely a visible difference in the fit and aesthetics of privately done work. This quality may come at a higher price, but if you invest in the best laboratory, the restoration can sell itself. CosTech Elite® will provide your practice with outstanding private restorations and quality NHS work. Their dedicated technicians have the ability to focus on each individual patient and analyse all the details to perfect the ideal solution. In addition, they are willing to meet the patients themselves to accurately determine their precise requirements. The technicians at CosTech Elite® will keep in touch with you through every stage, and discuss with you the restoration and its procedure. They will go that extra step to make sure your patients feel valued so they leave your surgery impressed with the results, subsequently increasing your reputation and your revenue.
