What it costs to rent a dental surgery in London

Last updated: October 2026

Renting a fully equipped dental surgery by the session, day or month lets you build a private list without buying or fitting out a practice.

Real prices on Roomki

In October 2026, dental surgeries on Roomki cost:

  • By the day: from £331.70 (Earl's Court) to £428 (Earl's Court, with CBCT and iTero)
  • By the month: from £1,300 (Earl's Court) to £2,817 (Marylebone, near Harley Street)

Daily prices include Roomki's service fee. Monthly lets have no Roomki fee and are agreed directly with the host after a viewing.

What changes the price: location (Harley Street and Marylebone cost more), equipment (CBCT, intraoral scanners, OPG), whether a dental nurse and reception are included, and how many sessions you commit to.

What to check before you book

  • The chair, handpieces and equipment you need for your treatments
  • A compliant decontamination room and who runs it
  • X-ray and imaging, and how images are stored and shared
  • Whether nurse support is included or extra
  • Access hours, and how patients are greeted
  • Insurance: your own indemnity, and what the host's cover includes
  • CQC registration (below)

CQC registration

Anyone carrying on a regulated activity, which in dentistry includes treatment, must be registered with the Care Quality Commission. Ask the host whether you will work under their practice's registration, or whether you need your own. Running your own separate private list from rented space can mean registering yourself. Roomki doesn't give regulatory advice, so check with the CQC or the BDA if unsure.

Session or lease?

  • Sessions suit a new or part-time private list, specialists visiting a few days a month, and dentists testing a new area.
  • A monthly let suits a regular weekly list.
  • A lease suits a full diary, but needs a bigger commitment and fit-out.
