We like that the clinic has an upfront pricing structure that you can see here. There are no hidden fees or charges.

One thing we noticed, however, is that they have a pretty small team. They have only three dentists, two hygienists, a specialist oral surgeon, and two nurses.
So it might be difficult to find a time slot. It’s best to book your appointment early.

FAQs About Dentists in London
There are factors that you have to consider when looking for a dentist. It’s important to find one with an accessible location, complete medical accreditations and extensive experience, good customer service, and affordable rates.
It also depends on your condition, it’s better to find a dentist who specialises in what you need exactly.
Here are some questions you can ask a new dentist to see if they’re the right fit for you:
. Are you accepting new patients?
. What insurance plans do you accept?
. What’s the appointment availability like?
. Do you have emergency care services?
. How long have you been practising as a dentist?
You have to go to a dentist immediately to have your root canal because the infection will get a lot worse. The infection can spread through the tooth’s root to your jawbone and create abscesses.
This could then lead to more pain and inflammation. So, no, you need to have the root canal ASAP if you require one.
If you can’t afford the fees of private clinics, you may need to find a dentist that will treat you as an NHS patient. You can go to the NHS website to check out if you qualify for free treatment.
Here are some warning signs that you might need a root canal:
. Persistent pain
. Chipped or cracked tooth
. Swollen gum area
. Dark discoloration of the tooth
. Prolonged sensitivity
. Deep decay of tooth
