2026 dental fees at a glance
Typical published fees at ordinary clinics, for reference only. Specialists, complex cases or private hospitals cost more.
Published prices, checked 2026-09-26. Every figure has a source on the full page.
Private prices depend on who treats you (specialist or general dentist), how complex the case is, the materials, and clinic or private hospital. Cheap doesn't mean bad, and expensive doesn't mean good. Ask what the quote includes, who will treat you and which materials will be used; if unsure, get a second opinion. Why prices differ →
