Why do some Barnet practices list under half the median?
8 of 55 published prices are below £175: Apex Dental Care (£100), Barnet Dental Practice (£100), The Balcombe Dental Practice (£125). A figure this far below the borough median is often a narrower product than the rest of the table (a single session, a top-up, or an introductory offer) — check what the practice's fee guide includes before comparing.
Why are some Barnet prices more than double the median?
5 of 55 listed prices exceed £700: Hadley Green Dental Practice (£795), The Lotus Clinic Limited (£795), Ecladent (£850). These are typically premium packages or specialist-led treatment; the median is a better guide to what a typical Barnet practice charges.

A low figure is a real published fee, not a quote — complexity can change the price. Always confirm. How we verify
Root canal treatment removes infected pulp from inside a tooth, then seals it — saving a tooth that would otherwise need extraction. It is available on the NHS under Band 2.
Root canal treatment is often completed in one or two visits under local anaesthetic. Modern techniques make it comparable to having a filling in terms of discomfort.
A tooth is usually crowned afterwards to protect it, which adds to the total private cost. On the NHS, both the root canal and crown fall under a single Band 2 or Band 3 charge.

Root canal treatment is Band 2 — £76.60 — covering the whole course. If a crown is then needed it moves to Band 3 (£332.10).
General dentists handle most root canals. Complex cases, curved canals or re-treatments are often referred to an endodontist.
