What private treatment costs in Merton

For each practice, we take the lowest price it publishes for a treatment. The table shows the middle value (the median) of those prices in Merton, next to the same figure for all of London. The last column shows how many Merton practices publish a price.

Dentures cost less here than the London median. Crowns cost more, at £760 against £695. Root canal treatment also costs more. The implant figure comes from only 5 practices, so treat it as a rough guide. Prices vary a lot between practices. The lowest Invisalign price runs from £850 at one practice to £3,750 at another. Ask 2 or 3 practices what their quote includes before you agree to expensive work.

Prices are from practice websites, checked in 2026. Confirm the cost with the practice before treatment.

Google reviews

41 of the 44 practices have a Google rating. The average is 4.53 out of 5, a little below the South London average of 4.59. 14 practices have a rating of 4.9 or higher from at least 50 reviews. The number of reviews matters as much as the score: a 5.0 from 400 people tells you more than a 5.0 from 12. Every practice page shows both.

Saturday and urgent appointments

37 practices in Merton publish their opening hours, and 17 of those open on Saturday. If you need a dentist today, see emergency dentists in Merton. When practices are closed, call NHS 111 for the urgent dental service.
