Dentists in Merton

Merton is a South West London borough best known for Wimbledon, but also covering Mitcham, Morden, Colliers Wood, and Raynes Park. With a population of over 210,000, the borough has a mix of affluent residential areas and more affordable neighbourhoods, and its dental practices reflect this range.

The borough’s good transport links, including the District Line, Northern Line, and tram network, make it easy to access dental care across different parts of Merton.

What dental treatment actually costs in Merton

These are median prices taken from the published fee pages of practices in the borough, not estimates. The last column shows how many published prices each median draws on, so you can see how much weight to give it.

Merton comes in below the South London median on root canals and dentures. The biggest gap is on root canals, at £400 against £550 across the region. It runs above the regional median on Invisalign, veneers and whitening.

Medians hide a lot. In Merton, published prices for Invisalign run from £850 to £5,715. That spread usually reflects how complex the case is and who is doing the work, so ring two or three practices and ask what the quote covers before committing to anything expensive.

We are not publishing a median implant price. Single implants and full-arch cases such as All-on-4 sit in the same set of published prices, so the middle of that range would mislead. See dental implants in Merton for individual practice prices.

NHS dentists in Merton

12 of the 44 practices in Merton hold an NHS contract, which is 27% of the borough. Across South London the figure is 40%.

An NHS contract is not the same as an open list, and most practices with NHS lists are currently full for adults. If nothing local is taking patients, the rest of the region is worth trying: Bromley has 35 and Croydon has 32. There is no residency requirement for NHS dental care in England, so you can register in any borough that has capacity.
