## Quick answer

A private white (composite) filling in the UK typically costs £90–£300 per tooth. On the NHS in England, fillings fall under Band 2 — one charge of £76.60 for the whole course, however many fillings it includes. White fillings repair decay or damage with tooth-coloured resin and may only be placed by GDC-registered dental professionals.
