On average, a private dental check-up costs just £31 in Birmingham, but £62 in Milton Keynes.
Root canal treatment is cheapest in Glasgow, at £185, but most expensive in York, where it costs £356.
The study of more than 12,000 dentists across the UK was carried out by the private healthcare website WhatClinic.com.
Dentists registered with the NHS are obliged to offer cheaper prices to patients, but in practice such prices can be difficult to access.
"Regular dental check-ups every six months are recommended for all the family, and as everyone knows, these costs can really add up," said Emily Ross, director of WhatClinic.
Inquiry call
The study showed large variations in dental fees across five different treatments: check-ups, veneers, whitening, root canals and dental implants.
Veneers are cheapest in Leicester, where they cost £318 on average, but most expensive in Cheltenham, where they cost £570.
Dental implants are cheapest in Newcastle on Tyne, where they cost £1,383. In London the average cost is £2,420.
