Treat decay and cavities and restore your tooth to good health again with composite white fillings. Start with booking an assessment examination to identify cavities, followed by white fillings to treat them.
Strong and protective – Composite resins bond directly to the tooth structure, restoring function while enhancing strength and preserving healthy enamel.
Mercury free and safe — White fillings eliminate concerns associated with metal based materials, offering a biocompatible and modern alternative.
Aesthetic perfection — Unlike metallic amalgam, composite resin fillings match your natural tooth shade, making them virtually invisible—especially vital in the visible smile zone.

Composite fillings are available in different sizes depending on the extent of tooth decay or damage. Small fillings repair minor cavities, medium fillings restore more extensive areas of damage, and large fillings rebuild a greater portion of the tooth while preserving healthy structure where possible.
Composite inlays are custom-made restorations that fit within the grooves of a tooth without covering its outer cusps. They can be used to repair larger cavities when a conventional filling may not provide the required restoration, while preserving more natural tooth structure than a full crown.
Composite onlays are custom-made restorations that cover one or more cusps of a damaged tooth, providing more coverage than an inlay. They are suitable for certain teeth with extensive damage where additional support is needed but a full crown may not be necessary.
Composite inlays are recommended when a cavity is too large for a conventional filling but the tooth’s outer cusps remain intact. They restore the damaged area within the chewing surface while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
Composite onlays are prescribed when decay, fractures or an old filling has weakened one or more cusps of a tooth. They cover the affected cusps to restore strength and function while preserving more natural tooth structure than a full crown where clinically suitable.
We will do a full dental check-up, including x-rays where needed to assess your teeth for decay. If you have existing fillings, we will assess them for wear and leakage.
Tooth decayed is cleaned and tooth prepared for restoration with a white filling. Existing filling (if relevant) is removed, preserving as much natural tooth as is possible.
The dentist will colour match the filling shade to your existing tooth shade. They will then apply high-strength composite resin, bonding it securely to your tooth to ensure durability.
The final touches include shaping and polishing for a smooth, natural-looking result—restoring both function and confidence to your smile.
Our composite white fillings are surprisingly affordable.

At Whites Dental, private white composite fillings can be planned as part of a wider dental treatment plan and paid for over time, subject to available finance options and eligibility. Spreading the cost into monthly repayments can make restorative treatment more manageable without paying the full amount upfront.
Depending on the finance options available, you may be able to spread the cost over 12, 24, 36, 48 or 60 months. Longer repayment periods reduce the monthly payment but may increase the total amount payable if interest applies.
Your dentist will assess the teeth that need restoring and provide a treatment plan based on the number, size and complexity of the fillings required. Once the cost is confirmed, the available finance terms can be reviewed so you understand the monthly repayments, interest rate and total payable before proceeding.
The table below illustrates repayments for a £1,000 treatment plan using 0% APR finance. These figures are examples only and depend on whether interest-free finance is available for the treatment and repayment period.
| Finance Term | APR | Monthly Repayment |
|---|---|---|
| 12 Months | 0% | £83.33 |
| 24 Months | 9.9% | £46.10 |
| 36 Months | 9.9% | £32.18 |
| 48 Months | 9.9% | £25.26 |
| 60 Months | 9.9% | £21.13 |
Many dental insurance policies cover white composite fillings when required to repair tooth decay or damage. Depending on your policy, you may receive full or partial reimbursement, subject to annual limits, exclusions and treatment conditions.
The amount you can claim depends on your policy’s benefit allowance, the cost of the filling and whether private restorative treatment is covered. A number of policies exclude pre-existing issues or treatment plans for white fillings created before cover commenced.
Before treatment, check your policy’s coverage and whether pre-authorisation or an itemised treatment plan is required. Whites Dental can discuss your proposed treatment costs, helping you establish the information you need to submit a claim to your insurer.
Ideal for areas of the mouth that are visible. Flawless finish, giving you a natural looking smile.
Strong bond, strong restoration, preserving healthy enamel.
Typically completed in a single visit — efficient and hassle-free.
If you have a cavity caused by tooth decay, a white filling seals the hole and restores the tooth’s strength. This prevents bacteria from spreading deeper and protects your natural tooth.
Small chips or cracks can compromise both the function and look of your teeth. A white filling can rebuild the lost structure while blending in seamlessly with your natural enamel.
Many patients choose to replace old silver (amalgam) fillings with modern white fillings. This not only improves aesthetics but also eliminates concerns about mercury content.
White fillings can be used for minor cosmetic corrections, such as closing small gaps. They offer a cost-effective alternative to more extensive treatments like veneers.
Teeth can wear down over time due to grinding (bruxism) or acidic foods. White fillings help restore the tooth’s original shape, improving both appearance and bite function.
✔️ Individuals replacing old metal fillings for aesthetic enhancement.
✔️ Patients with new cavities seeking a discreet, long-term solution.
✔️ Anyone who values both form and function in their dental care.
Private white composite fillings are made from tooth-coloured resin and carefully matched to the natural shade of your teeth. At Whites Dental, prices start from £160 for small fillings, £200 for medium fillings and £250 for large fillings, depending on the amount of restoration required. Private treatment gives you a clear choice of restorative options, with the dentist tailoring the filling to the tooth’s condition, appearance and functional needs.
NHS fillings in England fall under Band 2, currently costing £76.60 per course of treatment for patients who pay NHS charges. White composite fillings can be provided on the NHS when clinically appropriate, but the material offered depends on factors such as the tooth’s location and the size of the cavity. NHS treatment is generally more affordable, although you may have less choice over materials and treatment options than with private dentistry.
