Dental Fillings in Croydon
(Depending on size and surfaces)
A cavity, a cracked tooth or an old filling that’s worn out can turn a sharp twinge into real toothache. At iCare Dental Croydon, our dental fillings in Croydon use tooth-coloured composite that is shade-matched to your natural teeth, so the repair is strong, comfortable and blends naturally with your smile. Every filling is placed by a GDC-registered dentist at our CQC-registered clinic.

Tooth Filling Solutions in Croydon
A dental filling repairs a tooth damaged by decay, a crack or wear by replacing the lost part with a hard, tooth-coloured material. Whether decay has just started or an old filling has failed, a well-placed tooth filling in Croydon stops the problem getting worse, eases sensitivity and lets you bite and chew normally again. Your dentist will recommend the right option after examining the tooth.
Our composite fillings in Croydon use tooth-coloured resin, bonded directly to the tooth, to repair cavities in front and back teeth with a smooth, natural finish.

What's Included in Your Dental Filling Treatment?
Every filling appointment at our Croydon clinic follows the same careful, step-by-step approach, and your fee is agreed before we begin.
Dental Examination
Your dentist checks the affected tooth, surrounding teeth and gums, and your bite to confirm whether a filling is the right treatment.
Digital X-Rays
Where Needed Low-dose digital X-rays show decay between teeth and under old fillings that can't be seen in the mirror, so hidden problems are less likely to be missed.
Clear Options & Written Quote
We explain your choices, how long each typically lasts and the exact cost, so you can decide without pressure.
Comfortable Local Anaesthetic
The tooth is numbed before we start. Most patients feel pressure rather than pain, and we check in with you throughout.
Shade-Matched
Composite Placement Decay is removed, then composite is layered, hardened with a curing light and polished to blend with your natural tooth.
Bite Check & Aftercare Guidance
We adjust your bite so the filling feels natural, then explain how to care for it and when to book your next check-up.
Dental Fillings Care
In Croydon
A filling is only as good as the diagnosis and technique behind it. They look at why the tooth failed in the first place, not just the hole, so the repair has the best chance of lasting and future problems are caught early at your routine check-ups.
Diagnosis and treatment carried out by a GDC-registered dentist
Fillings reviewed at every check-up to catch wear early

How much does a dental filling cost in Croydon?
Composite fillings at iCare Dental Croydon cost from £90 filling. The exact price depends on the size of the cavity and which tooth needs repairing, and is confirmed in writing after your £25 new patient examination.
What is the healthiest type of filling?
For most cavities, a tooth–coloured composite filling is the preferred choice. It’s mercury-free, bonds directly to the tooth and needs less drilling than a silver filling, so more healthy tooth is kept. For very large cavities, your dentist may recommend an inlay, onlay or crown instead.
How long do white fillings last?
White composite fillings typically last 5 to 10 years, and often longer with good care. Lifespan depends on the size of the filling, where it sits in your mouth, teeth grinding and your oral hygiene. Regular check-ups let us spot wear early.
Does getting a tooth filling hurt?
Having a filling shouldn’t hurt. Your dentist numbs the tooth with local anaesthetic first, so you’ll usually feel only pressure and vibration. Some mild sensitivity to hot or cold for a few days afterwards is normal and settles on its own.
How do I know if I need a filling?
Common signs include sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet food, pain when biting, a visible hole or dark spot, food catching between teeth, or a rough or broken edge. Early decay often has no symptoms, which is why X-rays at a check-up matter.
Should I replace my old silver fillings with white ones?
Only if there’s a clinical reason or you want a more natural look. If an amalgam filling is cracked, leaking or has decay underneath, replacing it with composite makes sense. Intact silver fillings don’t need removing, and your dentist will advise honestly.
How long does a filling appointment take, and when can I eat?
Most white fillings take 20 to 60 minutes, depending on size. Composite sets straight away under a curing light, but wait until the numbness wears off (usually 2 to 3 hours) before eating, so you don’t bite your cheek or tongue.
Do I need to be a registered patient to get a filling?
No. You can book directly with iCare Dental Croydon without a referral or being registered elsewhere. New patients start with a £25 examination, and if you’re in pain, we offer same-day urgent appointments whenever possible. Call 020 3983 3828 or book online.
