What moves the price
General dentist or specialist
A specialist generally charges more for a consultation than a general dentist. The types of dentists guide explains the qualifications behind each.
Whether it is adjusted against treatment
Some practices waive the fee or deduct it if you go ahead with treatment. Ask when you book.
What is added at the same visit
An X-ray or a cleaning is usually billed on top. A scan is not always needed at a first visit, so ask what is planned before you agree.
