Today we release the results of a nationwide survey of prices at UK private dental clinics. The results are startling, with similar treatments costing over 900 percent more depending on which clinic you choose.
Shockingly, 84 percent of UK visitors to WhatClinic.com say they have put off dental treatment because of the cost. These patients could be putting their oral health at risk despite the wide range of prices available even at a local level.
For the survey we gathered prices from over 500 private dental clinics in the UK. The chart with prices from 5 major cities below shows the level of variation that can be found. We hope that by showing patients that they have real choice that we can encourage more to actually go ahead with treatment and take care of their oral health.

Good and amazing survey… Here in Spain there is not so much difference.
3300£ for an implant?? :O
you can get one implant plus crown for 950€ in costa blanca. 3300 is way too expensive.
In India almost at half the price in costa blanca. Isnt that great?
in greece there are also the same difference!from chinese dental cheap work to usa hi quality dental work.
Seems I run quite competitive clinic, so wahat if dental tourism is dead in UK.
I must say I do regret that the info given in the article is not very complete. You can’t compare every treatment in one or the other clinic with each other. It is comparing apples with pears. Some treatments for instance need work to be send out to dental laboratories. Like veneers and crowns. Not every lab charges the same and not every quality of their work and materials used is the same. The price a dentist pays for a crown he buys from the lab can differ from 25 pounds to 400 pounds. Guess what kind of material you get for the cheap crown. Not something you would like to put in your mouth most of the time. So you might buy a nice and cheap veneer, but if the quality is poor the result will not be lasting as well.
Same goes for implants: what kind of implant is used. Is it an implant with good result or is it just some kind of paperclip?
And then for the root canal treatment. What are you comparing? Front teeth, with only one canal, or maybe a molar with 3, 4 or even 5 canals? Further back in the mouth and treatment time that can exceed 4 times the amount for an incisor. Also materials and techniques used differ a lot. Was there a microscope used? That will drive the price up considerably. You will understand you can’t just compart A root canal treatment, you need to compare apples with apples.
And then the excperience of the dentist. It is like a builder. Not every builder is as good as the other. You don’t have an extension build on your house by everyone. It must be someone with a good reputation, who keeps up to date with latest techniques and has a nice and honest personality before you will have them work done.
And I can go on and on.. Please get the facts in a right format, because the way this is presented now, just does not get the right picture.
Thanks
