How are these prices set?

Where do these prices come from?

The prices are pulled from the published fees of dental practices listed on HelpDental. We aggregate real treatment fees so you can see what to expect before you book.

Why does the same treatment cost different amounts?

Price reflects the time, materials, equipment and skill involved. A simple filling takes less time than a complex molar root canal. Materials like porcelain or zirconia cost more than amalgam. Experienced dentists may charge more for advanced procedures.

Is NHS dental treatment really cheaper than private?

NHS dentistry uses fixed bands. Band 1 is £26.80, Band 2 is £73.50 and Band 3 is £319.10 in England. Private treatment is uncapped and varies by practice. Cosmetic treatments like whitening, veneers and Invisalign are not available on the NHS at all.

Are the prices final?

No. The figures are a guide. Your final price depends on your individual situation, x-rays, materials chosen, and any extra work needed. Always confirm the full quote with the practice before treatment.

What if my treatment is not in the list?

Pick the closest match or contact a practice directly. The calculator covers the most common treatments. Less common procedures like sedation or sinus lifts vary widely and are best quoted in person.
