Dental costs 2026: published fee ranges in five countries
Low, high and midpoint fees for common dental treatments as published by private practices in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the US and Canada, in local currency, with a confidence grade and the date each range was researched to.
Each cell shows the low and high of the published range and, in brackets, the midpoint the calculators use as their default. Figures are in local currency and per the unit in the second column. Confidence is shown as a letter: H, G or L. This table is generated from the same file the calculators read, so it can never disagree with them. The methodology explains how ranges are built.
