Because every tooth is different, the most accurate price comes from an examination rather than an online estimate.
For most patients, yes. Composite fillings are tooth-coloured, bond directly to the tooth and often need less drilling than traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, so more healthy tooth can be kept. They may cost more than amalgam because they are placed in layers and shaped by hand to match your natural tooth.
Composite resin is hardened with a blue curing light, then polished so it blends in when you smile or talk. This makes it well suited to both front and back teeth.
Amalgam use is also being phased down internationally under the Minamata Convention on Mercury. In the UK, it is not normally used for children under 15 or for pregnant or breastfeeding women. For very large cavities, your dentist may recommend an inlay, onlay or crown instead of a filling.
A typical filling appointment involves an examination, local anaesthetic, removal of decay and placement of the composite filling. Most white fillings take between 20 and 60 minutes, depending on their size, and composite sets straight away under a curing light, so you can usually get back to your day soon after.
Wait until the numbness wears off before eating, usually a few hours, so you do not bite your cheek or tongue. If a filling breaks or falls out later, our emergency dentist in Croydon service can help.
If you are searching for a dental fillings clinic near me or composite fillings near me, location matters too. iCare Dental Croydon is at Unit F1, Pinnacle Tower, 12 Saffron Central Square, CR0 2GE, a short walk from West Croydon station and easy to reach from East Croydon and Wellesley Road tram stop.
One question we are often asked at our Croydon clinic is whether a cheaper filling is a false economy. In most cases, the answer depends less on price and more on quality: a filling that is well placed, properly sealed, fitted to your bite and reviewed at routine check-ups has the best chance of lasting.
Dental fillings cost in Croydon starts from £90 for a white composite filling at iCare Dental Crodyon, with the final fee depending on the size and position of the cavity. Treating decay early, with a clear written quote, is usually the simplest and most affordable way to protect your tooth.
Yes. A dentist needs to examine the tooth, and often take an X-ray, to confirm that a filling is the right treatment and how large it needs to be. At iCare Dental Croydon, new patients start with a £25 examination. You then receive a written treatment plan and quote before any filling is placed, so you know the cost in advance.
Usually, yes. A small cavity can often be repaired with a simple one-surface filling, while untreated decay can spread and may later need a larger filling, a crown or root canal treatment. Tooth decay is common: the Oral Health Foundation reports that 41% of adults have untreated tooth decay, based on OHID’s Adult Oral Health Survey.
It can, because the old filling has to be removed carefully before the composite is placed, which adds time. Your dentist will quote the exact fee after your examination. Replacement is usually recommended when a filling is cracked, leaking or has decay underneath; intact fillings do not always need replacing.
