What private treatment costs in Waltham Forest

Only 16 of the 38 practices here publish prices, one of the lowest shares in London. So the figures below rest on small numbers. 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 Waltham Forest, next to the same figure for all of London. The last column shows how many Waltham Forest practices publish a price.

TreatmentWaltham ForestLondonPractices
Hygienist appointment£85£758
Teeth whitening£350£3759
Root canal treatment£495£4508
Crown£620£69512
Veneers or bonding (per tooth)£400£32510
Dentures£600£60011
Invisalign£2,400£2,5006

Root canal treatment and veneers cost more here than the London median. Crowns cost a little less. Dentures cost the same as the London median. With so few prices, a single practice can move these figures, so ask 2 or 3 practices for a quote before you agree to expensive work. Only 3 practices publish an implant price, which is too few for a fair median.

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

Google reviews

37 of the 38 practices have a Google rating. The average is 4.29 out of 5, below the North London average of 4.49. 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

30 practices in Waltham Forest publish their opening hours, and 13 of those open on Saturday. If you need a dentist today, see emergency dentists in Waltham Forest. When practices are closed, call NHS 111 for the urgent dental service.
