Other treatments cost: prices for every procedure
This group covers urgent care and appliances that do not fit the main treatment categories. Emergency visits in particular are priced for the assessment, with any treatment billed on top.
Observed dataObserved negotiated rates. Every figure here is a real negotiated amount taken from payer files published under the federal Transparency in Coverage rule. These are what a dental plan pays a contracted practice - not a cash price.
Estimated self-payEstimated self-pay range, not an observation. We do not have observed cash prices, and we will not present a modelled number as though we did. This range is the upper half of the same observed negotiated distribution, shown because an uninsured patient generally pays at or above the highest negotiated tier. Treat it as a budgeting aid and ask any practice for a written quote.
Ranked by median price

What to watch forAn emergency visit fee usually buys an examination and a diagnosis, not a fix. Ask what the likely treatment will add before you are in the chair.
