Why do some Kensington and Chelsea practices list under half the median?
3 of 18 published prices are below £362: The Wellington Clinic (£150), Grove Dental Surgery (£250), Earl's Court Dental Ltd (£299). 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 Kensington and Chelsea prices more than double the median?
2 of 18 listed prices exceed £1,448: Westbourne Grove Dental Care (£1,500), Bond Dental London (NOTTING HILL) (£1,595). These are typically premium packages or specialist-led treatment; the median is a better guide to what a typical Kensington and Chelsea 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.
