A local guide

Finding a dentist
in Surbiton.

An honest guide to choosing dental care in Surbiton, Tolworth, Berrylands and the surrounding streets — what your options are, how treatment is usually priced, and the questions worth asking before you agree to anything. Written by Dr Sundeep Solanki, GDC 212282.

Your options

What kind of practice
do you actually need?

NHS or private?

NHS dentistry in and around Surbiton covers the work that keeps you healthy — examinations, fillings, extractions, dentures. It does not cover appearance-led treatment: whitening, veneers, bonding and clear aligners are private wherever you go. Plenty of people keep an NHS dentist for the essentials and see a private practice for cosmetic work.

General practice or a cosmetic-focused practice?

Surbiton and the Kingston side of the river have a good number of long-established general practices. A cosmetic-focused practice spends its days on alignment, shape, colour and replacing missing teeth — longer appointments, digital planning and a close laboratory relationship. Ask which of the two you are walking into before you book.

Who actually does the treatment?

In larger practices the dentist who plans your case is not always the one who carries it out. Ask who will be holding the handpiece, how many similar cases they complete each year, and whether you will see the same person at every visit.

Referral or in-house?

Implants, complex alignment and gum treatment are sometimes referred elsewhere. That is not a bad sign, but it changes both the cost and the timeline, so ask early rather than at the third appointment.

What things cost

How dental fees
are usually built up.

Prices vary between practices, so rather than quote anyone else's, here is how each type of treatment is normally priced — so you can compare two quotes properly. Our own fees are published in full on the fees page.

Consultation: Some practices charge for a cosmetic consultation, some include it. Either way you should leave with a written plan and a written cost before anything begins.
Whitening: Supervised whitening with custom trays is the most predictable cosmetic change per pound spent. Be wary of anything sold outside a dental practice — in the UK, only a dental professional may legally whiten teeth.
Composite bonding: Priced per tooth, so the total depends entirely on how many teeth are treated. Ask for the per-tooth fee and the number of teeth in your plan, not a single headline figure.
Veneers: Porcelain costs more than composite and lasts longer. The laboratory work and the number of appointments are what drive the difference.
Clear aligners: Priced by case complexity, not by brand. A short case correcting the front teeth costs far less than a full-arch case. Ask whether retainers, refinements and whitening sit inside or outside the quoted fee.
Implants: Quoted as a total for the implant, the abutment and the crown — three separate components. Always ask whether the quote includes all three, plus any bone grafting and the scans.

What to ask

Eight questions
worth asking anywhere.

01What exactly is causing the thing I don't like — and is it cosmetic, or is something underneath it?
02What are my options, including doing nothing for now?
03What is the full cost, in writing, including scans, retainers and follow-ups?
04How long will it last, and what happens when it needs replacing?
05Can I see before-and-after photographs of cases you have treated yourself?
06Who do I call if something goes wrong at the weekend?
07Is my gum health good enough to start cosmetic work today?
08What is the maintenance — hygiene visits, retainers, polishing — and what does that cost each year?
