In dentistry, the person who diagnoses you sells you the treatment.
The same dentist decides what you need, sets the price and earns from the work. Until now there has been no one independent to ask, and no price to compare.
Medicine split the two long ago: the doctor prescribes and the pharmacist dispenses. The surveyor isn't the builder. Drivers compare fixed prices before they pick a garage. Instant Dentist does the same for your teeth.
Before you pay for treatment, ask a dentist who isn't selling it.

One tooth. Three ways to fix it. Very different bills.
Each option can be the right one. Often the tooth can be protected or calmed down in one visit, and the bigger work decided later, or never. We tell you what you need now, and what can wait.
A cracked back tooth
The crack hasn't reached the nerveRoot canal and crown
£1,200–£2,100Two to four visits
Treats the nerve and covers the tooth. Right when the crack has reached the nerve.
A full crown
£700–£1,000Two visits, lab-made
Covers the whole tooth. Often offered first, and it means removing healthy tooth to fit it.
A direct onlay
£360 · or £30 a monthAdvanced visit, 90 min, fixed priceOne visit, made in the chair
Covers and protects the cracked cusps. Keeps more of your own tooth, and the scan watches it. Can be crowned later if it ever needs it.
The same tooth, priced three ways · scale to £2,500
A painful tooth with an old root filling
Infection at the root tip, tooth still sound enough to keepTake it out, place an implant
£3,500–£5,000Four to six visits over three to six months
Removes the tooth and replaces it. Right when the tooth can't be saved.
Redo the root canal and crown
£900–£1,600Two to three visits
Cleans out the old root filling and covers the tooth again. Keeps the tooth for years if it works.
Stabilise it now
£240 · or £20 a monthTreatment visit, up to 60 min, fixed priceOne visit, pain sorted today
The dentist washes the tooth out, places a soothing dressing and seals it with a temporary filling. Then you decide on 01 or 02 without the pain pushing you.
The same tooth, priced three ways · scale to £5,000
Illustrative. Drawn X-rays, not a real patient's. Prices are typical UK private fee ranges, to be sourced before publication. The dentist who examines you confirms the right option on the day.
Three visits. One price each.
You book a dentist, a chair and a set time: 30, 60 or 90 minutes. The dentist does what your answer said within that time, up to three teeth in one area. Pay before you go, all at once or spread out. Anything beyond the visit is quoted by the practice with your member discount, and paid to them.

Who checks your case
Every answer is signed by a named, GDC-registered dentist you can look up. They never treat you, never see which practices are partners, and are paid the same whatever they conclude.
GDC [number] · [years] in practice
Clinical lead. Writes the red-flag list and the fixed wording every answer uses.
Name and photo shown with their consentGDC [number] · [years] in practice
Panel dentist. Signs screens and plan checks; never treats the patients they check.
Name and photo shown with their consentAt the visit, your dentist decides
The dentist who examines you has the final word. If they find something the photos couldn't show, the plan changes only with your consent and stays within the price band.
Questions people ask
Is this a real dentist, or AI?
Both, in that order. AI reads your photos and prepares the case. A UK-registered dentist checks it and signs it. During the pilot, a dentist signs every answer.
What if I need more than the visit?
The dentist who examines you tells you. Anything beyond the visit is quoted by the practice at a member discount and paid to them. You can take that quote back to us for a check before you agree.
Do I pay for treatment through you?
No. You prepay the visit. Treatment beyond it is agreed with the dentist who examines you and paid to them. Instant Dentist earns nothing on treatment.
Who sees my photos?
The dentist checking your case and the practice you visit. Nobody else without your separate consent. Your photos are stored in the UK.
Is this insurance?
No. It is a dental advice and booking service. Access and Care plans are provided through a regulated partner.
What if I'm in severe pain or swelling?
If swelling is spreading to your eye or neck, or you have trouble breathing or swallowing, call 999 or go to A&E now. For urgent help out of hours, call NHS 111. Otherwise send photos: pain cases are answered the same day if sent before 18:00.
