One of the most common questions we receive at Omabod Dental & Wellness Center in Accra is: “How much will it cost?” It is a completely fair question and one that many dental clinics in Ghana are reluctant to answer clearly.
In this guide, we break down the typical cost of dental treatments in Accra, what affects the price, how insurance works, and what you can expect to pay at a modern dental clinic on the Adenta-Dodowo Road.
Why Dental Prices in Ghana Vary
Dental treatment costs in Accra can vary significantly depending on:
- The dental clinic — different clinics have different pricing structures and service levels
- The complexity of your case — a simple cleaning takes 45 minutes; a root canal may take multiple appointments
- The materials used — porcelain crowns cost more than metal ones; branded Invisalign costs more than generic aligners
- The dentist’s experience and qualifications
- Whether X-rays, scans, or specialist referrals are needed
The figures below reflect typical price ranges at a reputable private dental clinic in Accra in 2025. Always request a written quote before agreeing to any treatment.
Dental Treatment Costs in Accra — Price Guide
Consultation & Check-Up
A standard dental consultation and examination at a private clinic in Accra typically covers a full oral health assessment, a review of your dental history, and a discussion of any concerns. X-rays, if needed, are usually charged separately.
At Omabod, we believe in transparent consultations. 📞 Call +233 534 000 450 for our current consultation fee.
Teeth Cleaning (Scaling and Polishing)
Professional teeth cleaning is one of the most common dental procedures — and one of the best investments in your oral health. Prices in Accra depend on how much tartar has built up over time. Patients who come every 6 months typically have a straightforward, lower-cost clean. Those who haven’t cleaned in 2–3 years may require deeper treatment.

Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening in Accra involves a dentist-supervised bleaching process that produces noticeably brighter teeth — often in just 1–2 sessions. Prices at private clinics vary based on the system used and the number of sessions. Over-the-counter whitening kits are cheaper but significantly less effective and not risk-free.

Dental Fillings
If a cavity is caught early, a composite (tooth-coloured) filling is a straightforward and affordable treatment. Prices increase for larger cavities or back teeth where access is harder.
Tooth Extraction
A simple extraction (for a loose or damaged tooth) is less complex and less expensive than a surgical extraction, for example, for an impacted wisdom tooth. Prices also vary depending on anaesthesia requirements.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment saves a tooth from extraction when the inner pulp (nerve) is infected or inflamed. It typically takes 1–3 appointments, depending on the tooth. It is one of the more involved dental procedures, and pricing reflects this.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or root canal-treated tooth. Prices in Accra vary significantly based on material:
- Metal (silver/gold alloy) crowns — lowest cost, very durable
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns — mid-range, natural-looking
- Full porcelain or ceramic crowns — highest cost, best aesthetics
📞 Call +233 534 000 450 for current crown pricing and to discuss which material suits your tooth.
Dental Veneers
Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of your teeth to change their shape, colour, or size. Composite veneers (applied directly to the tooth) cost less than porcelain veneers (custom-made in a lab) but are less durable.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the most expensive restorative treatment in dentistry — but they are also the most permanent. A single implant includes the titanium post, the abutment, and the crown on top. Prices in Accra vary by clinic and by whether bone grafting is needed first. We provide detailed implant quotes after a full assessment.
📞 Call +233 534 000 450 to book an implant consultation.
Braces and Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment costs in Ghana depend heavily on the type chosen:
- Metal braces — most affordable, effective for most cases
- Ceramic (tooth-coloured) braces — slightly more expensive, less visible
- Invisalign clear aligners — most expensive but removable and nearly invisible
Treatment duration ranges from 6 months to 2.5 years, and the total cost reflects this. Ask us for a full orthodontic assessment and personalised quote.
Does Health Insurance Cover Dental Treatment in Ghana?
Many Ghanaians are unsure what their health insurance covers at the dentist. Here is the general picture:
Private health insurance: Many private employers and individuals in Ghana have private health insurance that covers a range of dental treatments. Common providers include GLICO, Star Assurance, and SIC Life.
At Omabod Dental & Wellness Center, we accept most major private insurance plans. Call us on +233 534 000 450 or bring your insurance card to your appointment, and our front desk team will confirm your coverage.
How to Get the Best Value for Dental Care in Accra
- Go regularly — Patients who visit every 6 months spend less overall because problems are caught before they become expensive.
- Do not delay treatment — A filling costs a fraction of a root canal. A root canal costs far less than an extraction and implant. Waiting always costs more.
- Use your insurance — If you have private cover, use it for routine check-ups and cleanings every year.
- Ask for a written quote — Before agreeing to any treatment, ask for an itemised breakdown of costs in writing.
- Ask about payment options — Speak to our team about how to manage costs for more complex treatments.
