What Affects the Cost of Dental Treatment

How early you come

A small cavity is a UGX 120,000 filling. The same tooth left for a year may need a UGX 400,000 root canal and a UGX 900,000 crown. Regular checkups are the biggest money-saver in dentistry.

Materials

Tooth-coloured composites, porcelain crowns, titanium implants and clear brackets cost more than basic alternatives but look better and last longer.

Number of teeth

Fillings, veneers, crowns and extractions are priced per tooth. We tell you exactly how many teeth need treatment and let you prioritise.

Complexity

Impacted wisdom teeth, severe crowding or gum disease with bone loss take more time and skill, so they are quoted after examination.
