- The Brent median is £338 — 15% below the pooled median across the 10 boroughs with published root canal data on this site (£400, n=383).
- That makes Brent the 9th most expensive of those 10 boroughs for this treatment.
- The middle half of prices runs £200–£399 (a £199 range), a wide spread: the borough has distinct budget and premium tiers. The full range is £100–£650.
- 30 of the 84 CQC-registered practices in Brent publish a price for this treatment (36%); the figures describe those 30, not the whole borough.

Why do some Brent practices list under half the median?
7 of 30 published prices are below £169: Pearl Dental Care Centre (£100), Cricklewood Dental Practice (£120), Zental (Cricklewood) Ltd (£120). 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 does the same practice name appear twice?
1 name recurs (Dental Surgery / The Dental Care Centre). The CQC registers each location separately, and some practices hold two registrations at one address. Each row links to its own CQC registration and each row is counted in the figures above; if the pair is one practice, read it as a single price point.
Every statement above is computed from the 30 published prices in the table below; it changes when the data changes.

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.

General dentists handle most root canals. Complex cases, curved canals or re-treatments are often referred to an endodontist.
