Dental Crown
“I had an onlay fall out (basically half a tooth so very close to a crown). The dentist in Bonnieux wanted 750 euros to replace and I had to wait a month for an appointment. I got onto Doctolib and got an appointment at Dentalya, Aix en Provence the next day. Dentalya is huge with about 10 dentists. Very professional. My first appointment was to see what the problem was and a 3D X-ray cost 25 euros! The onlay cost 350euros. I was, and still am, very happy! This was in early May”.
