White Dental Fillings in Richmond, Muswell Hill, Palmers Green
White fillings offer a beautiful filling alternative to amalgam (silver) fillings. Their composite resin material is able to be perfectly colour-matched to your natural teeth colour, allowing for seamless decay repairs.
What Are White Fillings?
White composite fillings are mercury-free dental restorations designed to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth colour. Unlike traditional silver amalgam, composite fillings bond directly to your tooth structure — meaning less healthy tooth needs to be removed. Treatment is typically completed in a single appointment, making white dental fillings one of the most convenient restorative options available.
At The Smile Studios, we use only tooth coloured composite materials, giving you a restoration that looks and feels completely natural.
Why Choose White Fillings Over Amalgam?
Many patients are now choosing to replace their old metal fillings with white alternatives — and for good reason. White tooth fillings offer both aesthetic and clinical advantages:
- Colour-matched to your natural teeth — virtually invisible once placed
- Mercury-free and biocompatible — a safer, more patient-friendly option
- Minimally invasive — preserves more of your healthy tooth structure
- Suitable for replacing old amalgam fillings — old silver restorations can be safely removed and replaced
- Completed in one appointment — no need for multiple visits
The EU Amalgam Ban — What It Means for You
From January 2025, the use of dental amalgam has been banned across the European Union. Many London dentists, including those at The Smile Studios, have already transitioned entirely to white composite alternatives. If you still have silver amalgam fillings, now is a good time to discuss replacing them with tooth coloured restorations that are safer, more aesthetically pleasing, and aligned with modern dental standards.

FAQs
1. How long do white fillings last in london?
White composite fillings typically last between 7 and 10 years, depending on the size of the restoration, your bite, and how well you maintain your oral hygiene. With regular check-ups and good home care, many patients enjoy their white dental fillings for well over a decade.
2. How much do white fillings cost in london?
At The Smile Studios, white filling costs start from £165 for a single surface filling, rising to £275 for three surfaces. We provide a full treatment plan and cost breakdown before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
3. Can i replace my old metal fillings with white ones?
Yes. Replacing amalgam fillings with tooth coloured composite alternatives is a straightforward procedure. Following the EU amalgam ban in January 2025, this is increasingly common. Your dentist will assess each filling and advise whether replacement is clinically appropriate for you.
4. Why do i need a filling?
A filling is needed when tooth decay has created a cavity — a small hole in the tooth’s surface. Without treatment, decay spreads deeper into the tooth, potentially reaching the nerve and causing pain or infection. A white composite filling removes the decayed tissue, seals the tooth, and restores its strength and shape before more serious damage occurs.
5. Do white fillings hurt?
Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Some mild sensitivity around the treated tooth for a day or two afterwards is normal and usually resolves quickly on its own.
6. What’s the difference between composite and ceramic fillings?
Composite (white) fillings are resin-based, applied in a single visit, and are ideal for small to medium cavities. Ceramic fillings (also called porcelain inlays or onlays) are made in a laboratory and are generally used for larger restorations. Both are tooth coloured; your dentist will advise which is more suitable based on the size and location of the cavity.
