What private treatment costs in Newham

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 Newham, next to the same figure for all of London. The last column shows how many Newham practices publish a price.

Most private treatment costs less in Newham than the London median. Dentures are £420 against £600, and whitening is £275 against £375. Only 17 of the 38 practices here publish any prices, so these figures rest on small numbers. Prices also vary a lot between practices. The lowest Invisalign price runs from £1,000 at one practice to £4,000 at another. Ask 2 or 3 practices what their quote includes before you agree to expensive work.

Only 4 Newham practices publish an implant price, which is too few for a fair median. See dental implants in Newham for the practices that offer them.

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

Google reviews

All 38 practices have a Google rating. The average is 4.13 out of 5, below the East London average of 4.24. 2 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

33 practices in Newham publish their opening hours, and 15 of those open on Saturday. If you need a dentist today, see emergency dentists in Newham. When practices are closed, call NHS 111 for the urgent dental service.
