Root Canal in Kensington and Chelsea
18 dental practices in Kensington and Chelsea publish what they charge for root canal. Half of them ask between £499 and £911 for a tooth, and the middle price is £724 — 82% above the London index figure of £397 for root canal (the median of the 10 borough medians we publish). The figures below are those practices' own published fees, read in August 2026, each one linked to the practice and its CQC registration. They are not quotes: what you pay depends on what the examination finds. Root canal treatment on the NHS is a Band 2 charge of £76.60, which is why the private figures below sit so far above it.

- The Kensington and Chelsea median is £724 — 81% above the median of all 383 root canal prices published across those 10 boroughs (£400).
- That makes Kensington and Chelsea the most expensive of those 10 boroughs for this treatment.
- The middle half of prices runs £499–£911 (a £412 range), a wide spread: the borough has distinct budget and premium tiers. The full range is £150–£1,595.
- 18 of the 80 CQC-registered practices in Kensington and Chelsea publish a price for this treatment (22%); the figures describe those 18, not the whole borough.
- All figures are per tooth, taken from each practice's own fee guide, so they can be compared like for like.
| Neighbouring borough | Median | vs Kensington and Chelsea | Middle half | Practices |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brent | £338 | £386 less | £200–£399 | 30 |
| Westminster | £550 | £174 less | £350–£895 | 75 |
| Wandsworth | £487 | £237 less | £350–£715 | 36 |
The lowest neighbouring median is Brent at £338 — £386 below Kensington and Chelsea, from 30 published prices. Both are published prices, not quotes; a practice sets its own fee whichever borough it sits in.
Why do some Kensington and Chelsea practices list under half the median?
3 of 18 published prices are below £362: The Wellington Clinic (£150), Grove Dental Surgery (£250), Earl's Court Dental Ltd (£299). A figure this far below the borough median is often a narrower product than the rest of the table (a single session, a top-up, or an introductory offer) — check what the practice's fee guide includes before comparing.
Why are some Kensington and Chelsea prices more than double the median?
2 of 18 listed prices exceed £1,448: Westbourne Grove Dental Care (£1,500), Bond Dental London (NOTTING HILL) (£1,595). These are typically premium packages or specialist-led treatment; the median is a better guide to what a typical Kensington and Chelsea practice charges.

A low figure is a real published fee, not a quote — complexity can change the price. Always confirm. How we verify
Root canal treatment removes infected pulp from inside a tooth, then seals it — saving a tooth that would otherwise need extraction. It is available on the NHS under Band 2.
Root canal treatment is often completed in one or two visits under local anaesthetic. Modern techniques make it comparable to having a filling in terms of discomfort.
A tooth is usually crowned afterwards to protect it, which adds to the total private cost. On the NHS, both the root canal and crown fall under a single Band 2 or Band 3 charge.
