White Fillings in Edgware
Natural-looking composite fillings from £145 — strong, mercury-free and colour-matched so nobody can tell.
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 strengthen the tooth rather than just plugging it. Caught early, a small filling is quick and inexpensive — left late, the same tooth can need root canal treatment or a crown, which is why regular check-ups (£55) pay for themselves.
Composite vs old metal fillings
- ✓ Invisible repair — matched to your exact tooth shade, unlike grey amalgam
- ✓ Mercury-free — modern composite contains no mercury
- ✓ Bonds and strengthens — composite adheres to the tooth, so less healthy tooth needs removing
- ✓ Old amalgam replacement — we can replace failing or unsightly metal fillings with white ones; we’ll advise honestly whether yours actually need replacing
How it works
Numb & Prepare
The tooth is fully numbed and decay gently removed — keeping as much healthy tooth as possible.
Layer & Bond
Composite is layered in, shaped to your bite and hardened with light.
Polish
Polished smooth and checked — most fillings are done in 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. Your exact price is confirmed after examination, before any treatment.
Does having a filling hurt?
No — the tooth is fully numbed first. You may feel mild sensitivity 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. Large fillings under heavy bite may eventually be better protected with an inlay, onlay or crown — we’ll tell you when that day comes, not before.
Should I replace my old metal fillings?
Only if they’re failing, cracked or bothering you cosmetically — sound amalgam fillings don’t need removing just because they’re metal. We’ll give you an honest assessment.
My filling fell out — what do I do?
Book promptly — an exposed cavity decays fast and may become painful. We hold same-day emergency appointments (£65), including weekends.
