What dental treatment actually costs in Croydon

The figures below are median prices taken from the published fee pages of Croydon practices, not estimates. The number in brackets is how many published prices that median is drawn from, so you can see how much weight to put on it.

TreatmentCroydon medianSouth London medianPrices used
Hygienist appointment£80£85120
Teeth whitening£399£39587
Root canal£490£55045
Veneers (per tooth)£600£58072
Dentures£795£850117
Invisalign£2,799£2,95077

Croydon comes in below the South London median on root canals, dentures and Invisalign, and slightly above it on veneers. The Invisalign figure is one of the lowest in South London, £1,051 below Sutton next door.

Ranges matter as much as medians. Croydon hygienist appointments run from £30 to £380 depending on the practice and the length of the appointment. Whitening runs from £149 to £700. Ring two or three practices before committing to anything expensive, and ask what the price includes.

We are not publishing a median implant price for Croydon. The 24 published prices we hold mix single implants with full-arch work, so the middle of that range would mislead. See dental implants in Croydon for individual practice prices.

NHS dentists in Croydon

32 Croydon practices hold an NHS contract, or 46% of the borough. That is better than the London average and much better than central London, where it is 14%.

An NHS contract is not the same as an open list, and most Croydon practices with NHS lists are currently full for adults. If your nearest practice is not taking patients, the neighbouring boroughs are worth trying: Bromley has 35 NHS practices, Lambeth 30 and Lewisham 27. There is no residency rule for NHS dental care in England, so you can register anywhere with capacity.

How Croydon practices are rated

67 of the 69 Croydon practices have Google ratings, averaging 4.53 out of 5. That is a little below the South London average of 4.59.

Four Croydon practices hold a 5.0 average with more than 100 reviews each. Ratings are collected by Google rather than by us, and a high average on 20 reviews tells you less than a slightly lower one on 400. Every practice page here shows the review count alongside the score so you can judge that yourself.

Opening hours and getting seen

60 of Croydon’s 69 practices open on a Saturday, which is a higher proportion than most boroughs. Every one of the 69 has a working website, so you can usually check fees and book without ringing.

The town centre is the most densely served area, with several practices within walking distance of East Croydon station. If you commute, that is often easier than finding something near home.
