This page is built the way our front-desk team wishes every dental clinic’s website was built: with the prices, the time involved, and the honest version of who actually needs each procedure. No marketing language.
No “contact us for a quote” where a number should be. If you are deciding whether to book us or someone else, this page should give you enough information to make that decision before you ever pick up the phone.
All prices below are 2026 ranges and may vary depending on your specific case. They are real ranges, not the minimum case priced to look attractive.
Routine Dental Check-Ups and Cleaning
What it is
A routine examination of your teeth and gums, followed by professional cleaning (scaling and polishing) to remove plaque and tartar that brushing cannot reach. This is the foundation of everything else — most serious dental problems are preventable when caught early at routine visits.
Who it is for
Every adult and child, twice a year. More often for patients with gum disease, diabetes, smokers, or those undergoing orthodontic treatment. If your last check-up was more than 18 months ago, you are overdue.
Price range and time
Consultation + examination: GHS 150 – GHS 250
Scaling and polishing: GHS 200 – GHS 500 depending on calculus level
Time: 45–60 minutes for a full check-up plus cleaning
What to expect
The dentist examines each tooth, checks your gums for bleeding or recession, and may take digital X-rays if it has been over a year. Cleaning involves using an ultrasonic scaler to remove tartar, followed by polishing.
Mild sensitivity for a day or two afterwards is normal. We will discuss any findings with you on the screen, not in dental jargon you have to guess at.
Teeth Whitening
What it is
A safe, dentist-supervised procedure to lighten the natural shade of your teeth using regulated hydrogen or carbamide peroxide. We offer in-office whitening, custom take-home trays, and combined treatments depending on what works best for your teeth and lifestyle.
Who it is for
Patients with healthy teeth and gums who have extrinsic staining from coffee, hibiscus (sobolo), tea, red wine, or smoking. Not recommended for patients with active gum disease, untreated cavities, or significant tetracycline staining — we will tell you honestly if whitening is not right for your case.
Price range and time
In-office whitening: GHS 1,200 – GHS 3,500 (one 60–90 minute session)
Custom take-home trays: GHS 1,500 – GHS 2,800 (two weeks at home)
Combined treatment: GHS 2,500 – GHS 4,500
What to expect
A full examination first to confirm whitening is suitable. For in-office whitening, the gel is applied to your teeth in controlled sessions and may be activated with a light.
For take-home trays, we take impressions and provide trays plus gel to use nightly for two weeks. Mild temporary sensitivity is common. Results typically last 12 to 24 months depending on diet and habits.

Tooth Fillings
What it is
Restoration of teeth damaged by decay or minor fracture. We use tooth-coloured composite resin fillings that blend with your natural teeth — we do not place visible silver amalgam fillings except in rare clinical cases where the patient specifically requests it.
Who it is for
Anyone with a cavity, regardless of size. Smaller cavities cost less and take less time. Delaying a filling almost always means a larger, more expensive procedure later; sometimes a root canal or extraction that could have been avoided by a GHS 300 filling six months earlier.
Price range and time
Small to medium composite filling: GHS 250 – GHS 600 per tooth
Large composite filling: GHS 500 – GHS 900 per tooth
Time: 30–60 minutes per tooth
What to expect
Local anaesthetic so the procedure is painless, removal of the decayed tissue, then the composite is placed in layers and hardened with a curing light.
You can usually eat normally within an hour once the numbness wears off. Mild sensitivity to hot or cold for a few days is normal; sharp pain is not, and you should call us if you experience it.
Root Canal Treatment
What it is
A procedure to save a tooth that has been severely decayed or infected at its pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth).
The infected tissue is removed, the canal is cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is usually capped with a crown afterwards. Despite its reputation, root canal treatment is essentially a deep filling under proper anaesthesia.
Who it is for
Patients with a deeply decayed tooth, a tooth that has been traumatised, or a tooth causing persistent pain that wakes them at night or spontaneously. Root canal saves the tooth; the alternative is extraction, which leads to its own set of problems including bone loss and shifting of adjacent teeth.
Price range and time
Root canal (single canal, front tooth): GHS 1,200 – GHS 2,000
Root canal (premolar): GHS 1,800 – GHS 2,800
Root canal (molar): GHS 2,500 – GHS 4,000
Crown afterwards (recommended): GHS 2,500 – GHS 5,500 per crown
Time: Usually two visits of 60–90 minutes each
What to expect
Under local anaesthetic, the tooth is opened from the top, the infected pulp removed, the canals shaped and cleaned with antibacterial irrigants, and finally sealed. A temporary filling is placed at the end of the first visit.
A second visit a week or two later confirms the infection has resolved before placing the permanent filling or crown. Modern root canals are not the painful procedure they once were — most patients report it feels like a long filling.
Tooth Extractions
What it is
Removal of a tooth that cannot be saved or that needs to be removed for orthodontic or surgical reasons. This includes wisdom tooth extraction. We always discuss whether the tooth can be saved through other means before recommending extraction.
Who it is for
Patients with severe decay beyond restoration, advanced gum disease causing tooth mobility, impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or crowding, or teeth being removed in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
Price range and time
Simple extraction: GHS 300 – GHS 700
Surgical extraction (e.g impacted wisdom tooth): GHS 1,200 – GHS 3,500
Time: 20–60 minutes for most cases
What to expect
Local anaesthetic so the procedure is painless during the extraction. Mild bleeding for a few hours afterwards is normal.
We provide aftercare instructions, including what to eat, how to manage swelling, and when to come back if anything seems wrong. Recovery from a simple extraction takes 3 to 7 days; recovery from a surgical extraction takes longer.
Dental Implants
What it is
A titanium screw placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth, topped with a crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth because they preserve the jawbone in a way bridges and dentures cannot.
Who it is for
Patients with one or more missing teeth who have sufficient bone density and healthy gums. Implants are not always the first choice — a bridge or partial denture may be more appropriate depending on your case, budget, and overall oral health. We will discuss alternatives honestly before recommending implants.
Price range and time
Single implant (post + abutment + crown): GHS 8,500 – GHS 18,000
Bone graft if needed (additional): GHS 2,500 – GHS 6,000
Time: Initial placement is one visit; the full process from placement to crown takes 3–6 months for healing
What to expect
A consultation with X-rays or CT imaging to assess bone density and plan the placement. The implant is placed under local anaesthetic in a procedure most patients describe as less uncomfortable than expected.
Healing takes several months while the bone fuses with the implant. Once healed, an abutment and crown are placed. Implants typically last 20+ years when maintained properly.
Bridges and Dentures
What it is
Alternatives to implants for replacing one or more missing teeth. Bridges use adjacent teeth as anchors for a replacement tooth. Dentures are removable replacements that can fill in a few missing teeth (partial dentures) or replace an entire arch (complete dentures).
Who it is for
Patients who have lost teeth and need a faster, more affordable solution than implants, or those for whom implants are not suitable due to insufficient bone or medical conditions. We help you decide between these options based on cost, longevity, comfort, and aesthetics.
Price range and time
Dental bridge (3-unit, porcelain): GHS 4,500 – GHS 9,000
Partial denture (acrylic): GHS 1,500 – GHS 4,500
Complete denture (upper or lower): GHS 3,500 – GHS 8,500
Time: Typically 2–4 visits over 2–6 weeks
Orthodontics: Braces and Aligners
What it is
Treatment to straighten misaligned teeth and correct bite issues. We offer traditional metal braces, ceramic (tooth-coloured) braces, and clear aligner systems. The right option depends on the complexity of your case, your lifestyle, and your budget.
Who it is for
Children, teenagers, and adults with crowded, gapped, or misaligned teeth, or with bite problems that affect chewing or jaw comfort. There is no upper age limit — we treat patients in their 50s and 60s as routinely as teenagers.
Price range and time
Initial orthodontic consultation: GHS 250 – GHS 500
Metal braces (full treatment): GHS 8,000 – GHS 15,000
Ceramic braces (full treatment): GHS 12,000 – GHS 20,000
Clear aligners (full treatment): GHS 15,000 – GHS 35,000+
Time: Typical treatment lasts 12–24 months with monthly adjustment visits
Children’s Dentistry
What it is
Dental care for children from their first tooth onwards, including check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, fillings on baby teeth, and early orthodontic assessment. We see paediatric patients regularly across all three branches.
Who it is for
Children from age 1 upwards. Their first dental visit should happen by the time their first tooth appears or by their first birthday, whichever comes first. Early visits are mostly about familiarisation — letting your child meet a dentist in a friendly, no-pressure setting before any treatment is needed.
Price range and time
Children’s check-up: GHS 100 – GHS 200
Fluoride treatment: GHS 150 – GHS 300
Fissure sealants: GHS 200 – GHS 400 per tooth
Filling on baby tooth: GHS 250 – GHS 500
What to expect
First visits are short and gentle. We let the child sit in the chair, look at the tools, count their teeth in the mirror, and leave feeling that dentistry is normal. Subsequent visits build on this trust. Parents are welcome in the room throughout the appointment.
Book an Appointment
You can book at any of our three branches by calling, sending a WhatsApp message, or walking in during opening hours.

How do I prepare for my first visit?
Bring a list of any medications you are taking, any recent dental X-rays if you have them, and a note of any specific concerns. Arrive 10 minutes early to complete a brief health questionnaire. If you are anxious about the visit, tell the receptionist when you book. We adjust our approach for nervous patients, so the appointment goes more smoothly.
