Barnet figure. The middle half of prices 55 Barnet practices publish themselves, read August 2026; “from” prices and narrower variants excluded. Across London the middle half is £120–£195 from 894 practices. Method.
- The Barnet median is £150 — 9% below the pooled median across the 9 boroughs with published fillings data on this site (£165, n=332).

- The middle half of prices runs £120–£180 (a £60 range), a moderate spread. The full range is £65–£295.
- A further 26 practices list a filling price without stating the material (median £98); these are left out of the white-filling figures above.
- 54 of the 139 CQC-registered practices in Barnet publish a price for this treatment (39%); the figures describe those 54, not the whole borough.

Why do some Barnet practices list under half the median?
1 of 54 published prices are below £75: Dazzle Dental Care (£65). A figure this far below the borough median is often a narrower product than the rest of the table (a single session, a top-up, or an introductory offer) — check what the practice's fee guide includes before comparing.
Why does the same practice name appear twice?
1 name recurs (Aron Marcus Dental Practice / Aron Marcus Dental Surgery). The CQC registers each location separately, and some practices hold two registrations at one address. Each row links to its own CQC registration and each row is counted in the figures above; if the pair is one practice, read it as a single price point.
Every statement above is computed from the 54 published prices in the table below; it changes when the data changes.

A low figure is a real published fee, not a quote — complexity can change the price. Always confirm. How we verify
Composite versus amalgam
Most private fillings are tooth-coloured composite, bonded in layers and cured with a light. Silver amalgam is cheaper and still used on the NHS for back teeth, though its use is being phased down across the UK. Composite takes longer to place, which is most of the price difference.
Why quotes vary so much for the same tooth
Practices price by surfaces — how many faces of the tooth the filling covers. A one-surface filling and a three-surface filling are often quoted as one number on a website, so ask which case the published price refers to before comparing two practices.
The NHS alternative
Fillings sit in NHS Band 2, £76.60, which covers everything in Band 1 plus any number of fillings needed in that course of treatment. If you need three fillings, the NHS charge is still £76.60 — which is where the NHS is at its most competitive.
The faster “bulk-fill” technique lasts as well as the slower layered one, so a practice charging a premium for either should be able to say why.
Pooling nine randomised trials covering 632 restorations found no statistically significant difference in failure rates between bulk-fill and incrementally layered composites, over both short and longer follow-up. Marginal adaptation, discolouration and post-operative sensitivity were comparable too. The practical difference is chair time, not durability.
