    • Private clinics: KSh 1,500–3,000
  2. Teeth Cleaning (Scaling and Polishing):
    • Public hospitals: KSh 2,000–4,000
    • Private clinics: KSh 5,000–10,000
    • Specialized centers: Up to KSh 15,000
  3. Fillings:
    • Composite fillings: KSh 3,000–6,000
    • Porcelain or metal fillings: Up to KSh 20,000 depending on material​
