Westminster figure. The middle half of prices 80 Westminster 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 Westminster median is £195 — 18% above the pooled median across the 9 boroughs with published fillings data on this site (£165, n=332).
- That makes Westminster the most expensive of those 9 boroughs for this treatment.
- The middle half of prices runs £150–£250 (a £100 range), a wide spread: the borough has distinct budget and premium tiers. The full range is £70–£450.
- A further 22 practices list a filling price without stating the material (median £172); these are left out of the white-filling figures above.
- 80 of the 283 CQC-registered practices in Westminster publish a price for this treatment (28%); the figures describe those 80, not the whole borough.
- All figures are per tooth, taken from each practice's own fee guide, so they can be compared like for like.
| Neighbouring borough | Median | vs Westminster | Middle half | Practices |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brent | £150 | £45 less | £100–£160 | 26 |
The lowest neighbouring median is Brent at £150 — £45 below Westminster, from 26 published prices. Both are published prices, not quotes; a practice sets its own fee whichever borough it sits in.
Why do some Westminster practices list under half the median?
7 of 80 published prices are below £98: Covent Garden Dental Clinic (£70), Imperial College Dental Surgery (£70), Carnaby Street Dental Practice (£90). 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 are some Westminster prices more than double the median?
4 of 80 listed prices exceed £390: Sardinia House Dental Practice (£399), Toothfairy London Clinic (£400), Dr. Gaynor Langley - Devonshire Street (£425). These are typically premium packages or specialist-led treatment; the median is a better guide to what a typical Westminster practice charges.
Why does the same practice name appear twice?
1 name recurs (Harley Street Dental Clinic Limited / Harley Street). 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 80 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.
