White Fillings in Edgware
Natural-looking composite fillings from £145. Strong, mercury-free and matched to the colour of your tooth.
A filling repairs a tooth damaged by decay and stops the problem getting worse. At Toothi in Edgware we place composite (white) fillings from £145: colour-matched to your tooth, mercury-free, and bonded in place, so they support the tooth rather than just plugging a hole. Caught early, a small filling is a quick job. Left late, the same tooth can need root canal treatment or a crown, which is why regular check-ups (£55) are worth keeping up.
Composite vs old metal fillings
- ✓ Tooth-coloured: matched to your tooth shade, unlike grey amalgam
- ✓ Mercury-free: composite contains no mercury
- ✓ Bonds and strengthens: composite sticks to the tooth, so we remove less healthy tooth
- ✓ Old amalgam replacement: we can swap failing or unsightly metal fillings for white ones, and we’ll tell you whether yours actually need it
How it works
Numb & Prepare
We numb the tooth fully and remove the decay, keeping as much healthy tooth as we can.
Layer & Bond
We build the composite up in layers, shape it to your bite and set it with a light.
Polish
We polish it and check your bite. Most fillings take one visit of 30–60 minutes.

Filling FAQs
How much does a white filling cost in Edgware?
From £145 at Toothi, depending on size and position. We confirm your exact price after the examination, before any treatment.
Does having a filling hurt?
No. We numb the tooth fully first. It can feel a bit sensitive for a few days afterwards, which settles on its own.
How long do white fillings last?
Typically 7–10 years or more with good care. A large filling that takes a lot of biting force may eventually be better protected with a crown. We’ll tell you if and when that’s the case.
Should I replace my old metal fillings?
Only if they’re failing, cracked or you don’t like how they look. A sound amalgam filling doesn’t need removing just because it’s metal, and we’ll say so if that’s the case.
My filling fell out. What do I do?
Book in soon. An exposed cavity decays quickly and can start to hurt. We hold same-day emergency appointments (£65), including weekends.
