Merton has 53 CQC-registered dental practices. 25 of them publish a fee guide we have read. The median private check-up published here is £55, above the London median of £49 (19 fee guides, August 2026).
CQC does not award ratings to dental practices; it inspects them against five regulations and publishes whether each is met. All 53 are registered and inspected by the CQC — each profile shows its inspection date and a link to the full report. 43 of the 53 practices we list here (81%) hold an active NHS contract, according to NHS England's Organisation Data Service — a contract isn't the same as an open list, so always ring and ask.

Questions
How much does a private dentist cost in Merton?
A private check-up in Merton typically costs £42 to £80 — the middle half of 19 check-up prices Merton practices publish in their own fee guides, read August 2026. The median is £55, above the London median of £49. Individual treatments vary by practice and clinician.
Are there NHS dentists accepting new patients in Merton?
We can't verify who's currently accepting new NHS patients — lists change too often, and the NHS's own listing has been criticised for going stale (the British Dental Association found 86 of 100 practices shown as "accepting" new adult NHS patients could not actually take them). What we can confirm: 43 of the 53 practices we list in Merton (81%) hold an active NHS General Dental Services contract, according to NHS England's Organisation Data Service. See which ones below, and always ring to check before you visit.
Are Merton dental practices CQC-rated?
No — CQC does not award ratings (Outstanding/Good) to dental practices; it has no legal power to rate them. Instead it registers and inspects each practice against five regulations. All 53 Merton practices on our list are CQC-registered; each profile links to its full inspection report.
