How we calculate costs

Our calculator uses average UK private dental treatment costs for 2026, broken down by region. London prices are significantly higher than other regions — often 30 to 40% more than the national average.

For NHS treatment, we use the standard England NHS dental charge bands (correct as of April 2026): Band 1 = £26.80, Band 2 = £73.50, Band 3 = £284.70.

The "with a plan" comparison uses the cheapest suitable plan based on your treatment pattern. Denplan Care is recommended for higher treatment needs; Simplyhealth for routine care only.

Note: This calculator provides estimates only. Actual dental costs vary by practice, treatment complexity, and individual circumstances. Always get a written treatment plan and cost estimate from your dentist.
