White Fillings in London
White (composite) fillings in Camden, London
Most people would have some sort of filling in their mouths to restore a decayed or damaged tooth. For patients seeking superior cosmetic results for their fillings, NW1 Dental Care in Camden, we provide natural tooth-coloured white fillings where the results are so natural-looking that no one will be able to tell you’ve had any restorative treatment carried out. We are a mercury-free practice, meaning our dentists will not use dental amalgam – a material composed of mercury, silver, tin, and copper. We recommend and only offer white fillings which is both aesthetically and functionally better a solution to restore and preserve your beautiful white smile.
White fillings, also known as composite fillings or tooth-coloured fillings, are a modern alternative to traditional silver (amalgam) fillings. They are made from durable composite resin that matches the natural shade of your teeth—giving you a strong, discreet, and long-lasting result.
Unlike silver fillings, white fillings are virtually invisible — they restore strength and function to a tooth while maintaining your smile’s natural appearance. These can be applied to both the front and back teeth.
A tooth may decay due to factors such as poor dental hygiene, mouth bacteria, eating sugary food and drinks – which overtime weaken your enamel, breaking down the tooth and resulting in a cavity. Unless this cavity is treated, the tooth will continue to decay and become increasingly painful. The dentist uses tooth filling to fill in the cavity, repairing the damage caused by the decay and preventing bacteria from attacking the cavity further. However, if the cavity is left untreated for a long time and the decay is beyond repairable with a filling, the dentist may recommend a root canal to repair the tooth or tooth extraction to remove the tooth completely.
People of all ages may require a tooth filling to restore their tooth back. You should visit a dentist if you have a nagging toothache, sudden pain when you bite, sensitivity to hot and cold, or when you have a damaged tooth or cavity. may use a white filling to :
✔ fill a cavity or repair tooth decay
✔ fix chips or broken tooth
✔ to replace a metal amalgam (silver) filling
✔ to close small gaps between teeth
A filling normally requires a single dental appointment with the dentist at the clinic.
1. Tooth preparation – If the size of the cavity is big then your dentist may numb the tooth using local anaesthetic. The dentist will gently inject a local anaesthetic into your gum to numb the area that will be treated ensuring your dental treatment is as pain-free and comfortable as possible.
2. Removing decayed tissue – the dentist will carefully remove the decay in the tooth’s surface and small areas that are beginning to decay around it. This is mostly done using a small drill and you won’t feel any pain. The dentist will try to preserve as much of the natural tooth as possible. Note old metallic or silver filling can also be replaced here.
3. Cleaning the cavity – After the damaged part is the resulting cavity is cleaned and disinfected.
4. Apply agent – We will apply an adhesive bonding agent to the cavity that will hold the composite filling in place and this is hardened using a blue light.
5. Place the filling material – Dental composite filling used to repair the tooth is a blended shade of composite resin that matches the colour of your natural tooth making it functional and aesthetically appealing.
6. Proper restoration – if you have any gaps between teeth then the dentist will apply fillings or if he finds any decay near the tooth nerve then you will be provided with proper medication for protection.
7. Shaping the filling – Once the cavity is filled, the dentist will sculpt and polish the surface, so it looks and feels like a natural tooth and restores your normal bite. A bite test using carbon paper is conducted to ensure your teeth fit together comfortably.
Once the filling procedure is complete, you will be able to use the tooth like any other tooth. You can eat and drink normally and you shouldn’t feel any discomfort. The time taken for the procedure varies for each person but usually within one hour. It is a quick and inexpensive alternative to other options like .

Testimonials
Probably the best teeth whitening product in market. This is excellent! I tried so many teeth whitening systems including Zoom, Boutique etc, nothing worked for me, but this one is a miracle! Clinic has very good price for enlighten compared to other clinics in London. Service was amazing and results are absolutely fab !!! I finished the treatment almost 2 years ago, with the simple top up regime I keep my teeth pearl white. Love it and recommended to friends and family!
Got enlighten . Very happy about the service and the service
I had Invisalign treatment and whitening and was super impressed by how quickly the whole treatment was. My front teeth had been rotating since I had my braces off as a kid and I was a little hesitant about how long the treatment would take. Expect regular follow ups with the dentist and specialists who are super friendly and Ageing Skin & Wrinkles welcoming. I’d recommend coming here if you are considering it!
I’ve been a client since 2018 and my experience has been AMAZING. From reception to end of procedure all the staff involved are always extremely and professional. So far I have had Invisalign and whitening with Anima as well as many small treatments and I’ve always been impressed with the quality of service the whole team provides.
So impressed with the staff and dentists at NW1. They are welcoming, always professional and have done a fantastic job on any treatment I’ve had done. Lidiya is super friendly and accommodating.I most had zoom whitening course and composite bonding treatment, I’m so thrilled with the results I’m going back for more :). I’ve recommended to my friend who will be coming in soon for similar treatment.
At first I came here for laser zoom whitening and the results were great. I contacted the team at NW1 Dental Care for further whitening as my teeth were slowly going back to normal and they I do a 12 day home treatment and the results have been amazing! My teeth look whiter than ever and I prefer this over other treatments such as veneers. The team are kind, caring, and will genuinely go out of their way to help you and make sure you’re satisfied. I can’t recommend them enough. Huge thanks to the receptionist and dentist who helped me! Hope to come again soon when I need some more gels!
Professional and polite. Answered phone for appointment, and even called me back to book earlier when they got an opening. Cleaning done by Dentist (though I’m fine with a trained Assistant), and she was super nice, informative, and great “bedside manner”. Has occasional promotions for things (whitening, hygiene) and now even has monthly plan starting at £15! Quick walk from the metro in a nice area.
Brilliant results using the enlighten teeth whitening with the staff being professional and friendly. A practice well worth recommending to others.
Had an absolutely amazing experience at NW1 Dental care, I hadn’t had a professional clean in years and had let my teeth get into quite a state. I had been very anxious about seeing a dentist after having bad experiences in the past but I bit the bullet after seeing an ad for NW1 on instagram then reading some positive reviews. My Ioanna was lovely and chatty and talked me through everything, gave me an immaculate clean and offered some advice on products and for keeping better care of my teeth all without condescension. It was more like being at a spa than being at the dentist, I had never had such a experience with a dentist before. 100% would .
After moving to London, I was on the hunt for a new dental practice. I read some reviews of various places and settled on NW1 Dental Care and I am so glad I did! It’s one of the best dental experiences that I have had. From start to finish, from to dentist, the whole thing was and is painless and easy. The staff are friendly and informed and the premises are located near transport links and very welcoming.
I’ve had a few appointments in the past from check ups to hygiene and have never been disappointed. Most recently I had the Zoom Whitening treatment. I’ve never had any whitening treatment before so wasn’t sure what to expect, but the staff talked me through it and made me feel very comfortable. It was easy and actually quite relaxing!
Even after moving half way across London, I still consider NW1 Dental as my practice!
Big thank you to all the staff, especially Dr Anima Bodane.
