Average Dental Procedure Prices

Below is a partial list of the dental costs for the most popular dental procedures as charged by the 3 biggest providers of private (a.k.a. discount) dental plans; AmerePlan USA®, AETNA Dental Access® and Careington® International.

This list is for comparison purposes only as dental care treatment costs below are subject to change without notice. Please note that I only used five different US cities in this sample (Detroit, Raleigh, Miami, San Francisco and Phoenix) as I feel they represent five very different parts of our country. To obtain a specific dental plan provider's exact fees, consult with the office of a participating dental provider prior to be treated by them.
