How much is a tooth filling?
There are two types of tooth filling – the first is a non-white filling usually made of silver which is the cheapest option. The second is a white filling made of a synthetic resin; white fillings are also classed as cosmetic and are usually done privately and cost much more than the silver ones. NHS dentist prices are fixed and changed by the department of health usually every year. The current cost for a small non-white filling with an NHS dentist is £45.60. A white filling done privately will set you back £100 or more per tooth and private dentistry prices can vary a lot.
