How much of a discount can you usually get for dental services by paying cash (e.g., fillings, wisdom teeth)?

In case it isn’t clear, I mean paying for the procedure entirely out-of-pocket in cash as opposed to having dental insurance.

I know it varies, so I’m only looking for estimations. I’m interested in anything from routine exams/cleanings to fillings to wisdom teeth extraction.

Thanks for any information!

Our office offers a 5% discount for cash paid on the day of service.

For braces, I do know that it depends where you are, but I know an orthodontist that has very good prices: DR MI KHAN, in South Africa, Gauteng, Pretoria.

Probably the same type of discount you would get at the grocery store or Home Depot.
