What should I look for when choosing a dentist in London?

Look for GDC (General Dental Council) registration first — every practising dentist in the UK must be registered. Beyond that, check patient reviews, whether the clinic offers your specific treatment, pricing transparency, and convenience such as location and opening hours.

What is the difference between private and NHS dental care in London?

NHS dental care covers essential treatments at fixed Band 1–3 prices (£26.80–£306.80) but availability is severely limited in London and cosmetic treatments are excluded. Private dentists offer shorter wait times, longer appointments, a wider range of treatments, and modern facilities — but at higher cost.
