Treatments & fees
We publish our fees because we think you should be able to compare us honestly. These are the real numbers — not “from” prices designed to get you through the door.
Template content, not medical advice. Brightwater Dental is a fictional practice used to demonstrate this website template. Every treatment description, price and claim on this page is placeholder copy. It is not clinical guidance and must not be used to make decisions about your health.
If you are buying this template: replace all of it with fees and wording approved by your own clinicians and your regulator before publishing.

Every fee below includes the appointment time, the materials and the follow-up review. Nothing is added afterwards without asking you first.
The cheapest dentistry you will ever have is the dentistry you do not need. Two visits a year is the whole strategy.
A full 40-minute assessment: every tooth charted, gum pockets measured, an oral cancer screening, digital X-rays where they are clinically justified, and an intra-oral camera tour of your own mouth on the screen beside you. You leave with a written, priced plan.
Hygienist appointment with our senior hygienist Hannah Doyle. Ultrasonic scaling, hand finishing and an airflow polish that lifts coffee and tobacco staining without the grinding sensation.
For established gum disease. Deep cleaning under local anaesthetic across two or four quadrants, then a maintenance programme with three-monthly reviews until the pockets close.
Under-16s, with Dr Whelan. Counting teeth, a ride in the chair, fluoride varnish and no lectures. Free for siblings of registered adult patients.
A protective resin painted into the deep grooves of newly erupted adult molars. Ten minutes per tooth, no drilling, and the single most cost-effective thing you can do for a nine-year-old.
We will always start with the least invasive option that gets you there, and we will tell you if the answer is simply a hygiene appointment.
Custom trays made from a digital scan, plus a fortnight of professional-strength gel you use at home for an hour a night. Shade assessment before and after, and a top-up gel included at your next check-up.
A single 90-minute appointment when you have an event coming and no fortnight to spare. Usually combined with take-home trays to hold the result.
Hand-sculpted tooth-coloured resin to close a gap, rebuild a chipped edge or even out a worn smile line. No drilling of healthy enamel, and reversible.
Minimal-preparation veneers made by our Dublin laboratory. We mock the result up in wax and then in your mouth, so you approve the shape before anything is prepared.
Rebuilding teeth that are broken, decayed or missing — with materials chosen to last, not to look good for a year.
Scanned, designed, milled in the practice and fitted the same afternoon with our CEREC unit. Ceramic, colour-matched, and no temporary crown to lose over a fortnight.
Composite fillings, colour matched and bonded. We do not place amalgam in this practice. Price depends on how many surfaces of the tooth are involved.
A titanium root placed by Dr Brennan under local anaesthetic, planned on a 3D CBCT scan, then restored with a ceramic crown three months later. Price covers planning, placement, the crown and two years of reviews.
Carried out by Dr Okonkwo under a surgical microscope, usually in one or two visits. Includes retreatment of failed root fillings done elsewhere.
Fixed bridgework, cobalt-chrome partial dentures and full acrylic dentures, all made by the same Dublin technician we have used since 2011.
Straightening for adults and teenagers, planned and reviewed by a registered specialist orthodontist rather than posted to you in a box.
A full adult or teenage aligner case with Dr Marchetti. Digital scan, a 3D preview of the finished result before you commit, all aligners, refinements and a set of retainers.
A shorter case for mild crowding of the front teeth only, typically four to six months. Ideal before bonding or whitening.
Fixed wire retainers, clear vacuum-formed retainers, or replacements for a retainer the dog got at. Free replacement within 12 months of finishing treatment with us.
Ring before 10:00 and we will do everything we can to see you the same day at one of the two practices.
Same-day where we possibly can. Pain relief, a diagnosis and a plan on the day; the definitive treatment may be booked separately. The fee is credited against treatment started within 14 days.
A straightforward extraction under local anaesthetic, with written aftercare and a follow-up call the next morning. Surgical extractions are quoted individually.
If the crown is intact and the tooth underneath is sound, this is usually a twenty-minute appointment. Bring the crown with you.
Registered patients can ring the emergency line at any hour and speak to the dentist on call. Advice is free; you will be told honestly whether it can wait until morning.
Ring the emergency line and you will speak to a person, not a menu. Registered patients can reach the dentist on call out of hours; if you are not registered we will still try to fit you in.
Paying for it
Three quarters of the plans we write are paid monthly. Ask at reception — it takes about four minutes and there is no charge for asking.
Yes, on plans between €500 and €7,000 repaid over 12 months, subject to approval by our credit provider. You pay exactly the quoted price, split into twelve. Longer terms are available at a published APR — we will show you the total cost in writing before you sign anything.
Routine cover is usually modest — typically €50 to €60 towards an examination and a scale and polish each year. The bigger benefit is on non-routine work. Give us your policy number when you book and we will check your entitlement and submit the claim for you.
Non-routine dental treatment qualifies for relief at the standard rate. We issue a completed Med 2 form at the end of every course of treatment without you having to ask, and you attach it to your annual return.
Then we stage it. Every written plan we produce is ordered by clinical priority, so you can see what genuinely needs doing this year and what can safely wait. We would far rather do the urgent third of a plan than lose you altogether.
That is exactly what the examination is for. Book the €65 assessment, and we will tell you honestly what needs doing, what can wait, and what does not need doing at all.
