Dental filling costs in the UK can vary depending on the size of the cavity, the tooth being treated, and the material used, but most private white fillings typically range nationally from around £150 to £350 per tooth. The typical cost of a private white filling in London is from around £180 to £450, but at tooth dental care in Waterloo, London white fillings start from just £150.
Why a New Filling Can Feel “High” or “Compacted” - and Why Waiting Often Helps
It’s very common for patients to tell us that a new filling doesn’t quite feel right in the days after treatment. Some describe it as feeling high, tight, or ‘compacted’ when they bite together. Understandably, this can feel worrying - especially if the tooth was comfortable before.
As Principal Dentist of tooth in Waterloo, I want to reassure you that this sensation is usually temporary, and in most cases, settles naturally as your mouth adjusts.
