Abstract

This study was carried out to evaluate the difference in prices for dental treatments carried out privately in general dental practice within the Birmingham area. Ten different practices were chosen at random, which were spread across Birmingham, in order to get a better insight into the differences across the districts. Their prices for pre-determined dental procedures were procured off the practices' respective websites or through telephoning. The findings of this study have shown a wide variation in prices for each dental procedure, with the greatest variation in prices between practices being ?850 for dental implants. The procedures with the lowest average cost were fissure sealants at ?23.14. The procedure with the highest average cost was dental implants at ?2,261.11. This study also showed that as more dental treatment was required, the mean cost for the dental intervention increased, regardless of the tooth being treated.
