About Dentist Cost UK
ABOUT THIS GUIDE
An Independent UK Dental Price Guide.
Dentist Cost UK is a consumer-facing price guide that publishes verified NHS dental charges across all four UK nations and surveys typical private fees. We are not a dental practice. We do not sell any treatment. The site is funded by clearly labelled advertising, kept separate from our editorial pricing — no advertiser can pay to change a price we publish or to be recommended in our guides.
Ads never touch the prices
Advertising is labelled and separate. No advertiser can influence a published price.
Methodology you can audit
Every NHS figure is linked to an official source.
We update prices whenever NHS rates change (most recently April 2026) and re-survey private fees twice a year. SEND A CORRECTION +

OUR METHODOLOGY
How We Source and Verify Every Price.
OUR SOURCES
Where the Numbers Come From
- NHS England — dental costs
- NHS Business Services Authority — dental charges poster (April 2026)
- NHS Wales — dental services
- NHS Inform Scotland — dental treatment
- nidirect — Health Service dental charges
- Private fee ranges — UK market surveys (myTribe, dentistscloseby, UrgentCare Dental)
Prices shown are guideline ranges. NHS charges are the official 2026 rates published by NHS England, NHS Wales, NHS Scotland and HSC Northern Ireland. Private fees reflect typical UK market ranges and will vary by clinic, region and clinical complexity. Always ask your dentist for a written treatment plan and itemised quote before agreeing to treatment.
Editorial methodology
Every NHS figure on Dentist Cost UK is taken directly from the official source — NHS England (nhs.uk), NHS Wales (111.wales.nhs.uk), NHS Inform Scotland (nhsinform.scot) or nidirect (nidirect.gov.uk). We re-verify these against the NHSBSA dental charges poster each April when rates change, and again every six months as a check.
Private fee ranges are compiled from three independent sources: published clinic price lists across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland; market surveys by myTribe Insurance and the British Dental Association; and observed pricing data from dental chains (Bupa Dental, Mydentist, Portman Dental Care). We exclude outliers below the 5th and above the 95th percentile so the ranges shown reflect what a typical patient would actually be quoted.
Central London is reported as a separate column wherever significant premium exists. We update private fee ranges twice a year (spring and autumn).
Correction policy
If you spot an inaccurate price, an outdated NHS rate, or a private fee that doesn't reflect what your practice charges, email info@multiligo.com with the page URL and a source for the correct figure. We respond within 3 working days and publish material corrections within 7 days.
Funding and conflicts of interest
Dentist Cost UK is funded by its editorial team and by advertising. We currently carry one advertiser: a sponsored placement for dental treatment in Antalya, Turkey, shown at the foot of most pages and labelled "Sponsored". That placement is paid for. It is not an editorial recommendation, we have not audited the provider's clinical credentials, and nothing in our guides — including our warnings about aftercare and regulation when treatment is carried out abroad — has been changed, softened or shown to the advertiser. We receive no commissions on insurance plans or finance products referenced in our cost guides, and no clinic or dentist can pay to be promoted or to influence the prices we report.
Sponsored content is labelled "Sponsored", sits below the editorial content rather than inside it, is never shown on our legal pages, loads no third-party script and sets no cookies. Nothing you do on this site is shared with the advertiser unless you choose to contact them — see our Advertising Disclosure and Privacy Policy.
Editorial team
Content is researched and written by the Dentist Cost UK editorial team with reference to current NHS guidance, NICE recommendations, and published GDC standards. We do not name individual contributors to avoid the appearance of personal endorsement. We are not dentists and do not give clinical advice — always check with a GDC-registered dentist before agreeing to treatment.
