Had you had a treatment plan you might have realised what you were getting and the reasoning behind it. Then you could have made an informed choice. This was obviously NHS treatment and not private treatment so the "mass of shining silver" is unfortunately what you get. Had you been told exactly what you were getting then you might have opted for private treatment so you could get "porcelain" - that's if this was suitable for your mouth.

When i got home and looked at it for the first time in the mirror, i was horrified to see a mass of shining silver! Why couldnt they have put a porcelain one on, or is that more expensive? Im not happy with it at all. I have just had an inlay fitted on my left back tooth at the cost of £198.
