All 36 dental practices in Hackney

Hackney has 36 dental practices, from Shoreditch and Hoxton in the south to Stoke Newington and Stamford Hill in the north. About 260,000 people lived here at the 2021 Census. That is about 1 practice for every 7,000 people, one of the lowest ratios in London. 19 of the practices offer NHS treatment.

Where the practices are

Stoke Newington and Stamford Hill (N16) and Dalston and Hackney Central (E8) have 7 practices each. Homerton and Hackney Wick (E9) have 5, and Clapton (E5) has 4. The Hackney part of N1, around Hoxton and De Beauvoir, has 4.

Hackney has very few Tube stations. Most people use the Overground or buses. If the practices near you are full, Islington, Haringey and Tower Hamlets are close.

What treatment costs in Hackney

Each practice publishes a lowest “from” price for a treatment. The table shows the middle (median) of those prices for practices in Hackney, next to the same figure for all of London. The last column is how many practices the figure comes from.

Dentures cost more here: £800, against £600 for London. Crowns also cost more than the London median.

A “from” price is the cheapest version of the treatment. Your quote can be higher, so ask what it includes before you agree to it. For every practice’s own prices, see the London dental price list.

NHS dentists in Hackney

19 of the 36 practices in Hackney offer NHS treatment. In early October 2026, 8 of them told nhs.uk they were taking new adult NHS patients, and 11 were taking new child patients. This changes from week to week, so phone the practice before you go.

36.4% of adults in Hackney saw an NHS dentist in the 2 years to March 2026. That is about 4 in 10 adults, below the London figure of 36.9%. Before the pandemic (2019/20) it was 42.7%. See how every borough compares on our NHS dental access page.

Demand is high, so a practice with space one week may have none the next. In Stoke Newington and Stamford Hill (N16), none of the 5 NHS practices said they were taking new adults. Dalston (E8), Homerton (E9) and Clapton (E5) each had 2.

There are no catchment areas for NHS dentists, and you do not have to register with one. You can ask any NHS practice in any borough to see you. If nothing nearby has space, the neighbouring boroughs with the most practices taking new adults are Haringey (12).
