Dentist prices in Belfast

There are two kinds of dentist prices: NHS and private. NHS prices are set nationally, so they are the same at every dentist. Private prices are set by each dentist, so ask for a price list when you call.

In Northern Ireland, health service dentists charge for each item of treatment, and most patients pay a share of the cost.

Check the current charges on nidirect.
