Dental costs by state: average dentist prices
States where our source files contain enough located practices to publish. A state appears here only if at least one treatment reaches 15 practices.
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.
