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.

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.
Explore finance optionsIs 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.
