The Competition and Markets Authority is investigating private dental pricing right now — and their consultation on outcomes is due this month.
Their central finding so far: patients face unclear pricing before treatment, unexpected additional costs, and difficulty comparing like-for-like services.
We'd answer that simply.
If a practice uses 'from' prices or publishes no prices at all, it is genuinely impossible for a patient to compare costs before attending consultations at multiple practices. You'd have to book and attend a consultation at each one just to find out what treatment costs.
We think that's wrong. So we publish every price — fixed, not 'from' — on our website. You can compare our prices to any quote you've already received from another practice, right now, without booking anything or speaking to anyone.
If you'd like to know what a specific treatment costs at Hampton before committing to anything, just ask us. We'll tell you.
That's what the CMA is looking for. We've been doing it since day one. 🦷
