Patients are paying as much as 775 for root canal work, 435 to have a tooth out and 325 for a white filling.
Fees for many treatments have undergone inflation-busting rises in the last two years as more people have been forced to seek non-NHS care.
Patient groups warned that some people with dental problems were missing out on care altogether because NHS help is so hard to access and private treatment has become so expensive.
Dentists claim they have been doing more and more private work in recent years .
The fees they receive for providing NHS -funded treatment have not kept up with rising costs.
But private practices also charge higher prices to help cover the cost of treating NHS patients.
NHS charges are fixed but a generation of poor funding means many treatments are now being delivered at a financial loss.
