2026 private dentistry prices in Edgware: what’s typical
We’ve been in Edgware long enough to know patients shop around, and you should. Local practices publish routine examination fees from around £30 (existing-patient rates) up to £85, and a new-patient consultation often costs more than a routine recall. Three things to check before you compare numbers:
- Are X-rays included or extra? A “cheap” exam plus two mandatory X-rays can cost more than a dearer all-in fee.
- Is it a new-patient price or an existing-patient price? Many practices charge £15–£30 more for your first visit.
- Does it include an oral cancer screening? It should. Ask.

Private vs NHS in Edgware
An NHS Band 1 examination is £27.90. That’s good value if you can find an Edgware NHS practice taking new patients, which is the hard part. Going private gets you longer appointments, weekend availability and no waiting list. Toothi is fully private. We’re open Saturdays 9am–5pm and Sundays 10am–5pm, so a check-up doesn’t have to mean time off work.
Our advice when choosing
Don’t choose on the exam fee alone. It’s the smallest number you’ll ever pay a dentist. Look at whether prices are published for the treatments you might need later (fillings, root canal, crowns), whether the practice will put your plan in writing, and whether you can get seen when something hurts. Over five years, those are what decide what dentistry costs you.
