How Much Do Treatment Coordinators Earn in 2025, and How Much More Could You Earn in 2026?
The role of Treatment Coordinator (TCO) is becoming one of the most in-demand positions in modern dental practices — and with good reason. As practices focus on patient journey, case acceptance, and profitability, skilled TCOs are becoming vital team members — and their salaries reflect that.
💷 Treatment Coordinator Salaries in 2025
In 2025, the average salary for Treatment Coordinators in the UK sits around £30,000 to £32,000 per year, with many earning more depending on:
- Practice type (NHS, mixed, or fully private)
- Location (London and major cities offer higher pay)
- Experience and qualifications
- Case acceptance performance and treatment mix
In high-value private practices — especially where TCOs manage consultations for cosmetic or specialist treatments — earnings can reach £40,000+ or more.
🚀 Why TCO Salaries Are Expected to Grow in 2026
There are five major trends driving higher earning potential for Treatment Coordinators next year:
- Increased demand for the role
More practices are adding TCOs to improve patient conversion and support high-value treatments.
- Shift toward elective and cosmetic dentistry
Practices offering Invisalign, whitening, implants, and smile makeovers need skilled patient advisors — and they’re paying for it.
- Upskilling is now a differentiator
Qualified or certified Treatment Coordinators can command higher pay and greater responsibility.
- Competitive recruitment environment
Practices are struggling to hire and retain experienced TCOs — meaning they’re willing to increase salaries to attract the best.
- TCOs drive revenue, not cost
Principals increasingly see TCOs as key commercial team members. A capable TCO can generate tens of thousands in extra treatment revenue — which justifies a strong salary.
📈 How Much More Could You Earn in 2026?
➡️ If you currently earn £28,000–£32,000, a qualified and experienced TCO could easily see earnings rise to £35,000–£40,000+ in 2026.
➡️ In London or high-performing private practices, this could reach £45,000–£50,000+, especially for TCOs handling premium cosmetic and implant cases.
🎯 What Separates Top-Earning Treatment Coordinators?
There are four major factors that allow TCOs to earn more:
- Formal qualification or training in Treatment Coordination
- Proven track record increasing case uptake
- Mastery of ethical upselling and patient communication
- Ability to support high-value private treatments
Practices don’t just want coordinators — they want confident, qualified, conversion-focused professionals.
