The cost for an NHS check-up at the dentist has risen to £25.80 this week, as dentistry fees rise by 8.5% across the board.
More complex treatments, such as crowns, will now cost £306.80 (up from £282.80) after the charges rose for the first time since December 2020, when they were frozen due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Dental treatment is charged in 'bands' , with higher charges for more complex dental work. You should only pay once for each course of dental treatment, so the maximum you should pay is £306.80.
