What are the most common dental problems? For example toothache, wisdom teeth, cavities, missing tooth and teeth alignment issues. Under different circumstances the treatment and costs are different. So exactly how much does it cost to see a dentist in Shenzhen?

Bleeding, Inflamed & Swollen Gums

For cases where patients are experiencing problems linked to bleeding, inflamed and swollen gums the dentist will advise that a dental clean is done first to remove the dental calculus and see if the situation with the gums improve. A basic dental cleaning costs start at over 300 RMB.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Before a wisdom tooth can be removed you will need to have a panoramic x-ray and possible a CT scan to check how many wisdom teeth there are. A panoramic x-ray can cost approximately 200 RMB. A CT scan costs between 300 to 400 RMB. Also if there is an infection of the wisdom tooth then the infection needs to be treated before the wisdom tooth can be extracted. A wisdom tooth extraction costs over 1,000 RMB.

Cavities

A dentist can only treat a cavity after a panoramic x-ray is done, this is to check whether the cavity can be directly filled. A simple dental filling is a few hundred RMB. For more complicated cases where the cavity can’t be filled directly then there is possibly the need for root canal treatment with costs starting at over 1,000 RMB and sometimes over 3,000 RMB.

Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment is tailor-made for every case and will require patients to go through a consultation and have several x-rays taken before a orthodontist can provide a treatment plan and price.
