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 Scotland, your NHS check-up is free. For treatment, you pay 80% of the cost, and never more than £384 for one course of treatment. NHS care is free if you are under 26, pregnant, or had a baby in the last year.

It changes week to week, so no list stays right for long. Call the dentists above and ask. Private dentists usually have space sooner. For NHS care, ask to join the waiting list if they are full.
