Computed from 47 Camden practices' own published fee guides, read August 2026. Method
- The Camden median is £370 — 8% below the pooled median across the 10 boroughs with published root canal data on this site (£400, n=383).
- That makes Camden the 7th most expensive of those 10 boroughs for this treatment.
- The middle half of prices runs £181–£650 (a £469 range), a wide spread: the borough has distinct budget and premium tiers. The full range is £120–£1,595.
- 46 of the 107 CQC-registered practices in Camden publish a price for this treatment (43%); the figures describe those 46, not the whole borough.
- All figures are per tooth, taken from each practice's own fee guide, so they can be compared like for like.
| Neighbouring borough | Median | vs Camden | Middle half | Practices |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Barnet | £350 | £20 less | £298–£450 | 55 |
| Westminster | £550 | £180 more | £350–£895 | 75 |
| Brent | £338 | £32 less | £200–£399 | 30 |
The lowest neighbouring median is Brent at £338 — £32 below Camden, from 30 published prices. Both are published prices, not quotes; a practice sets its own fee whichever borough it sits in.
Why do some Camden practices list under half the median?
12 of 46 published prices are below £185: Boutique Dentalis (£120), London Smile Studio (£120), Quex Dental Care Partnership (£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 are some Camden prices more than double the median?
9 of 46 listed prices exceed £740: 62A Goodge Street (£748), Belsize Dental Care (£795), Dental Practice (£850). These are typically premium packages or specialist-led treatment; the median is a better guide to what a typical Camden practice charges.
Why does the same practice name appear twice?
1 name recurs (The Dental Centre / Dental Practice). 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 46 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.

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.
