Prices for a dental check-up reflect materials used, the clinician’s experience, the complexity of your individual case, and the clinic’s location. That is how the same treatment can be advertised at £30 by one clinic in Bristol and £80 by another. “From” prices show the lowest advertised starting point, not a guaranteed final cost.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No - they are the advertised private fees we collected from each clinic, and clinics change them. Use them to shortlist, then confirm the exact cost with the clinic before you book.
