White Fillings
Cavities happen — to most of us, at some point. When they do, modern white composite fillings restore the tooth beautifully: repairing damage, stopping decay, and preserving as much natural tooth as possible. Bonded directly to the tooth, colour-matched to your enamel, and virtually invisible when smiling. No metal. No mercury. Just solid, reliable restoration.
At Clarendons, we’ve made white composite fillings our standard — rather than old-fashioned silver amalgam. Better aesthetics, kinder to the tooth, and free from mercury concerns. For new cavities, chipped teeth or worn edges, composite fillings are typically our go-to. In our calming Leeds city centre clinic, with local anaesthetic (or sedation if you’re nervous) for complete comfort.
What are restorative white fillings?
White fillings (also called composite or tooth-coloured fillings) use advanced resin materials bonded directly to your tooth to repair decay, chips or cracks. Unlike traditional metal (amalgam) fillings, composite chemically bonds to the tooth structure — meaning less drilling is needed, the tooth is strengthened rather than wedged open, and mercury isn’t involved.
Composite is placed in thin layers, each cured with a blue light, shaped to restore natural tooth anatomy, and polished to a smooth finish. Modern composites are durable enough for most routine cavities, including in back teeth, and typically last 7–10 years with proper care.

Features and benefits
Composite bonds to tooth structure, meaning we remove only the decay — not large wedge shapes needed to retain old-fashioned fillings. More of your real tooth is preserved for the long term.
Modern composite is mercury-free and metal-free. A healthier choice for patients concerned about amalgam, and a better aesthetic result.
Colour-matched to your enamel and blended seamlessly. Your filling won’t be visible when you smile, speak or laugh. No dark flashes, no obvious repairs.
The Clarendon's Difference
A well-placed composite filling can last a decade or more. A poorly-placed one can fail within 1–2 years. The difference is technique: proper isolation of the tooth during placement (to keep it dry and clean), careful layering of composite in thin increments, thorough light-curing, precise shaping to restore natural tooth anatomy, and meticulous final polishing. At Clarendons, we take the time to do all of this properly.
Our award-winning clinic in Leeds city centre makes the filling experience as comfortable as possible. Effective local anaesthetic. Calming environment. Sedation available for nervous patients. Transparent pricing with flexible payment options. Whether you need one filling or a full mouth rehabilitation, every restoration is placed with the same attention to detail.

THE BRAND PATIENTS TRUST
How much do white fillings cost?
White fillings are priced based on size — small, medium and large. Multiple fillings at one appointment are typically more efficient and slightly better value than separate visits. At your consultation, we’ll provide clear, itemised pricing. Flexible payment options available for larger treatment plans.
