What the range covers

Two quotes that look far apart are often two different treatments. These are the splits practices price separately, measured on the same fee pages.

Published prices for one tooth, split by type
Type	Cheapest tenth	Median	Dearest tenth	Prices read
Per tooth	£165	£290	£399	89
Edge bonding	£150	£265	£350	24

A price can appear in more than one row where a practice names both, so the rows do not sum to the total.

What moves the price

How many teeth. The per-tooth price is the unit, so a full smile multiplies it.
Edge bonding against a full rebuild of the face of the tooth.
Whether the practice charges more for a front tooth than a back one.
The dentist's own rate, which varies more here than on any other treatment.

“From £250” is not a discount. 328 practices advertise this treatment as a “from” price, and the middle of those headline figures is £250 against a median firm price of £293. The word buys the practice room, not you.

On the NHS

Not an NHS treatment

Cosmetic bonding is not an NHS treatment. A filling repairing damage is Band 2, and the line between the two is decided by the dentist.

NHS charges apply in England; Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland set their own. Figures from nhs.uk, read on 11 August 2026.

How these prices were measured

This page rests on 154 prices for composite bonding, part of 39,049 prices read from 1,481 fee pages across 983 UK practice websites on 10 August 2026.

Every figure comes off a practice's own public fee page. Nothing is a survey, an estimate or a model.
One price counts once per fee page. A chain's branches all carry the group's list, and counting each branch would let one price list decide the market.
Prices written as "from £X" are counted separately, not mixed in. That figure is the cheapest case a practice leads with, and it reads the market low.
Prices covering a whole arch or a full set of teeth are left out of a per-tooth figure, because they sit at the top of every distribution.
Only the 10th percentile, the median and the 90th are published. The extremes of a scraped corpus are where a mis-read price lands, and no single row can move a percentile.
Lines that name a different job are dropped per treatment. Re-cementing a crown is not the price of a crown, and an extra whitening syringe is not the price of whitening.
