Dentist Prices in Cape Town

Strong local data: a Cape Town 2025/26 clinic price guide (The Dental People) gives consult R400-R800, cleaning R950-R1,800, composite fillings R950-R2,000, root canal R2,500-R6,000+, simple extraction R800-R1,500, surgical extraction R1,700-R4,000+, whitening R3,000-R4,500, and notes cash practices run ~20-30% below standard medical-aid tariffs. Cape Town is the most prominent South African dental-tourism destination (CEREC, painless 'The Wand' anaesthetic widely advertised), and as a major metro sits toward the higher end of national fees. Prices are not regulated and vary by clinic, materials and case.
