Dentists: London 2026
A ranking of dental practices in the UK's largest cities, one city at a time, based only on facts from official websites. It includes practices that state on their website both registration with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and that their dentists are registered with the General Dental Council (GDC). In the UK a dental practice has no licence number of its own, so we count these statements as the licence. We also look at the legal entity with a company number, price list, warranty terms, sterilisation, X-ray or CT, specialties, online booking and contacts. Promotional prices do not count as a price list. This ranking is not medical advice, does not replace a doctor and does not assess the quality of treatment. A city gets a page when at least four practices have enough data. Score is not for sale; any paid placement would be a separate labelled block.

How we calculate the Score
35%
Licence and entity
Whether a medical licence is stated with its number and the legal entity is named with a registration number. The licence weighs most.
25%
Transparency
Whether a price list with amounts, warranty terms and a complaints procedure are published.
15%
Procedures and equipment
Whether instrument sterilisation is described and X-ray or CT is available in the clinic. This is what the clinic states, not a judgement of quality.
15%
Services and contact
How many of three specialties the clinic offers (implants, orthodontics, children's dentistry), whether it takes online bookings, and how many of four general contact channels are named: phone, email, form or chat, address.
10%
Experience
Year founded (scale to 30 years).
What to check before visiting a dental clinic
Check the licence
Ask for the medical licence number and look it up in your country's register. The licence should cover dental services.
Ask the price first
Ask for a price list and a written plan with amounts before work starts. Check what the price includes.
Read the warranty terms
Find out what the warranty covers, for how long and what is required of you. The terms should be in writing.
Know who to contact
Ask who in the clinic handles complaints and which authority supervises it.
Frequently asked questions
Is this medical advice?
No. The ranking compares public facts about clinics. It is not medical advice and does not replace a doctor. Discuss treatment only with a doctor.
What does first place mean?
The first clinic has the highest Score under our open methodology among clinics in that city. It is not a judgement of treatment quality or advice to choose it.
Why are there no reviews or doctors' names?
Reviews are hard to verify and award lists are often paid. We score clinics on checkable facts, not individual people, so the cards name no doctors.
Why is some clinic data missing?
If a fact was not found on the official site or a register, or the site is closed to automated checks, we show "Not verified" and award no points. That does not mean the clinic lacks it.
Can clinics in different cities be compared?
No. Each ranking is within one city. A city with fewer than four clinics with enough data has no page.
