How Much Does a Dental Filling Cost?
The cost of a dental filling varies depending on the size, location and material used. Here is what to expect at Family Dental Clinic.
The cost of a dental filling varies depending on the size of the cavity, its location in the mouth, and the material used. At Family Dental Clinic we are committed to transparent pricing — here is what you can expect.
Types of Filling
Composite (tooth-coloured) fillings are by far the most common type we place. They match the colour of the natural tooth and are virtually invisible. Our composite fillings start from £140 depending on size and complexity.
Amalgam fillings (silver) are less commonly requested today. We can discuss options at your examination.
Ceramic inlays and onlays are used for larger restorations where a conventional filling is not appropriate. These are custom-made in a dental laboratory and represent the most durable option for heavily damaged teeth.
What Affects the Cost?
- Size of the cavity — larger cavities require more material and time
- Location — back teeth are harder to access and may take longer
- Number of tooth surfaces affected — a filling on two surfaces costs more than one surface
The most cost-effective approach is always to catch decay early through regular check-ups. A small filling today is significantly cheaper than a crown, root canal or extraction later. Book your check-up with Family Dental Clinic on 01243 771171.
