What people actually paid for dental work

Real prices reported by readers across the US, for 23 common treatments. Estimates tell you what dental work should cost; these reports show what people actually paid.

Typical price paid, by treatment

How it works

  • Anyone can report what they paid, anonymously, from the bottom of each cost page.
  • We only show a figure once at least 5 people have reported it, so one unusual bill cannot skew it. With enough reports, the most extreme 5% at each end are left out.
  • Figures are medians (the middle report) with the middle half of reports, which describe a typical bill better than an average.
  • We never show individual reports, and we do not collect names or emails.
