All 255 dental practices in Westminster

We list 257 dental practices in Westminster, more than twice as many as any other London borough. But only 31 of them hold an NHS contract. Westminster also has the lowest NHS dental access of any London borough, apart from the City of London.

The borough covers Marylebone, Fitzrovia, Mayfair, Soho, the West End, Victoria, Pimlico, Paddington, Bayswater, Maida Vale and St John’s Wood. About 204,000 people lived here at the 2021 Census, far fewer than the number who work in or visit the borough each day.

Where the practices are

Half of Westminster’s practices are in one postcode. W1G, the Harley Street area of Marylebone, has 130 practices. Only 1 of them holds an NHS contract. The other 129 are private.

NHS care is in the residential parts of the borough. Paddington and Bayswater (W2) have 21 practices, and 9 hold an NHS contract. 7 of those 9 say they take new adults. Maida Vale (W9) has 5 NHS practices out of 11, and Pimlico (SW1V) has 4 out of 6.

NHS dentists in Westminster

Of the 31 NHS practices, 20 say they take new adult patients and 22 say they take new children. So, if you live here, there are NHS places, even though access overall is low. This comes from each practice’s page on nhs.uk, which we read every week. It was last read on 5 October 2026. Practices do not always keep that page up to date, so phone before you go.

In 2025/26, 26.8% of adults in Westminster saw an NHS dentist in the previous 24 months. That is about 1 in 4 adults. The London figure is 36.9% and the England figure is 40.4% (NHSBSA). See how every borough compares on our NHS dental access in London page.

There are no catchment areas for NHS dentists. You can ask any practice, in any borough, to take you on. That includes people who work in Westminster but live elsewhere. NHS dentists in Westminster lists the NHS practices here with their latest status, and our NHS dentists in London guide explains the charges.

What private treatment costs in Westminster

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

Most treatment costs more in Westminster than the London median. A hygienist appointment is £110 against £75, and root canal treatment is £550 against £450. Implants are the exception. The median starting price is £1,895, below the London median of £2,100. Invisalign costs about the same. Prices vary a lot between practices. The lowest Invisalign price runs from £900 at one practice to £5,500 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

226 of the 257 practices have a Google rating. The average is 4.71 out of 5, in line with the Central London average of 4.72. 83 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

183 practices in Westminster publish their opening hours, and 72 of those open on Saturday. If you need a dentist today, see emergency dentists in Westminster. When practices are closed, call NHS 111 for the urgent dental service.
