Metal tooth filling replacements

Replace old metal tooth fillings with modern composite

Don’t spend another year hiding your smile.

If your old metal fillings make you feel self-conscious, you’re not alone. The standard NHS fillings might be cost-effective, but they’re unsightly and will eventually come loose. When that time comes, The Smile Designers can help.

Whether for cosmetic reasons or peace of mind, we replace tooth fillings with modern alternatives. Our white composite fillings blend in with your natural enamel and can usually be completed by our expert team in one 40-minute appointment.

Book in for a check-up and discuss this with your dentist.

Composite bonding at our Sheffield clinic is priced at £350 per tooth and usually applied to 4, 6 or 8 teeth for the most balanced result. Book your smile makeover consultation and find out if composite bonding is right for you.

  • Natural colours
  • Fast treatment
  • Strong and long lasting

Frequently asked questions

We answer some of the most common patient questions. If yours isn’t listed, please get in touch, we’ll be happy to help.

How much does it cost to replace a tooth filling?

The cost to replace metal fillings in Sheffield starts from £240 per tooth. Pricing depends on the size of the filling, the tooth’s location, and whether we’re replacing a single filling or multiple fillings. If you need to replace multiple fillings or want to undertake other work, we can offer finance or phased treatment plans.

Is it painful to get fillings replaced?

Most patients find replacing metal fillings is more comfortable than they expected. We use local anaesthetic where needed, and smaller fillings may not require any numbing at all. Our Sheffield dental team is experienced in working with nervous patients. We’ll move at your pace and check in with you throughout.

Is it a good idea to replace old fillings?

If you have visible metal fillings that make you feel self-conscious about your smile, replacing them with tooth-coloured composite can be a great choice. Older fillings can also wear down, break, or cause sensitivity, so eventually they will need to be replaced. Whatever the reason behind your appointment, we’ll help you decide the best treatment option.

Can I replace multiple metal fillings at once?

Yes, you can choose to replace several fillings. Some patients prefer to get all their metal fillings replaced in one go, while others take a gradual approach. The best option for you will depend on your goals, timeframe, and budget.

Will the white filling match my tooth colour?

Absolutely. We can shade-match your teeth to create a natural-looking result. Our dentists also shape and polish each filling to make sure it looks and feels just right.

What if my tooth is in bad condition?

If your tooth is badly stained, cracked, or has a very large existing filling, a replacement filling may not be the best course of action. One option may be a crown, which covers the whole tooth, giving it structural support and a more natural appearance. As part of your consultation, we’ll discuss whether a replacement filling or crown is the better long-term option for your smile.

Flexible finance on dental treatments

We think everyone deserves to look and feel fantastic. That’s why we offer 0-14% APR finance packages that allow you to spread the cost of your dental treatment over a period of up to 5 years.

    From the minute I walked into the practice I felt relaxed and calm. Fahad made me feel so easy about my teeth as I have been feeling a little less confident with my smile. He was assuring and professional and gave me some brilliant options. I also saw Kendra for some treatments too, again such a great person really down to earth and informative. I would definitely recommend the smile designers to anyone looking for both dentistry and cosmetic dentistry.

    After years of complex dental work I never felt like I had the results I was looking for, but Fahad finally gave me the perfect smile. An absolute professional from start to finish, I never felt like I was being overcharged and he listened to my concerns about wanting a ‘natural’ look and advised how we could achieve this and what the best options were for me to choose from. I couldn’t recommend him more and wouldn’t hesitate to return for further work if required 10/10

    The care that Fahad gave to me during my Invisalign, whitening and composite journey was just incredible. I felt so completely at ease and trusted him 100% when it came to choosing the right steps for me in my journey. I am so pleased with my results and this continues years after completing my journey. I’m beyond happy with how natural my teeth look, his approach is definitely not a “one size fits all”. Thank you so much, Fahad. You have a client in me forever!

    I cannot recommend Fahad and the team at the Smile Designers more. I’ve seen Fahad for the last 4 years and he is so friendly and puts you at ease. He makes time to understand what you’re looking for and is clear in his advice, putting your needs first. I’ve been so pleased with the results I’ve had including Invisalign and whitening. The rest of the team at the Smile Designers including Adele and Kendra are all lovely and make you feel really comfortable. Would 100% recommend.

    This Dental Practice is the best in Sheffield. Extremely professional & caring. All staff members are lovely people. I pay into a monthly payment plan which makes my dental care affordable. It includes 2 examinations & 2 hygienist appointments each year. Well worth it.

You can tell the team have worked hard to make a calm atmosphere. I had a great experience and would recommend this dentist to anyone looking for good treatments from good people.

    Incredible! Went in with the hope to fix my teeth and they certainty did that and some. As a person who struggles with anxiety especially at the dentist I have never felt so reassured, from the first consult to the end of my treatment everything was explained clearly and to a level I felt comfortable and trusted them wholeheartedly. Couldn’t recommend more.

    Would definitely recommend The Smile Designers – especially if you have a fear of the dentist! The way it’s decorated doesn’t make you feel like you’re in a clinic and all the staff are so lovely and friendly. I had a consultation with Fahad for teeth whitening with Kendra and he was great at making me feel less anxious and more informed on my teeth than a usual checkup. I’m usually terrified of the dentist but can say I’m actually happy to come back here!
