Dental fillings are a common dental treatment method used to repair cavities or tooth damage. This treatment restores the function of the tooth by filling the gap in the tooth and prevents the progression of caries. Dental fillings can often be made from a variety of materials, such as composite resin, amalgam, gold, or porcelain. Composite resin fillings are tooth-colored and natural-looking, so they can be used especially on anterior teeth. A composite resin selected in accordance with the color of the tooth provides repair while preserving the aesthetic appearance of the tooth. Amalgam fillings, on the other hand, are silver in color and are usually used on the back teeth. Amalgam is a durable material that often helps the back teeth withstand heavy chewing forces.
Gold fillings can be more expensive than other materials, but they are durable and long-lasting. Gold fillings can be preferred to fill large gaps on the chewing surfaces of the teeth. Porcelain fillings also offer an aesthetic option and can be made in harmony with the color of the tooth. Porcelain fillings, like composite resin fillings, can be used on anterior teeth and provide a natural appearance. The dental filling process is usually completed in several stages. First, the dentist cleans and prepares the decayed or damaged part. Then, the appropriate filling material is applied to the tooth and shaped. Finally, the filler material is hardened and polished. This process restores the function of the tooth and stops the progression of caries.
Dental fillings are an effective method commonly used in the treatment of cavities or tooth damage. When done properly, fillings can restore the health and function of the tooth, as well as provide an aesthetic appearance.

However, it is important to do it carefully and select the appropriate material during the filling process.
Composite resin fillings are especially preferred for anterior teeth because they have a tooth-colored and natural appearance. These fillings protect the aesthetic appearance of the tooth while at the same time repairing caries. Amalgam fillings are a durable material and are generally used in posterior teeth. Gold fillings are known for their longevity and can be used to fill large cavities. Porcelain fillings also offer an aesthetic option and can be made in accordance with the tooth color. Dental filling should be done carefully by the dentist and should be performed in a way that preserves the structure of the tooth. When the filling material is applied and shaped correctly, the function of the tooth is restored and the progression of caries is stopped. However, after the filling process, it is important for patients to continue their dental care regularly and go to their dentist for regular check-ups.
In conclusion, dental fillings are an effective method that is commonly used to treat cavities or tooth damage. With the use of appropriate materials and techniques, fillings can restore dental health while at the same time providing an aesthetic appearance.
My journey started with a meeting with Oj and Can in Belfast. Everything was organized incredibly smoothly! ✨
Upon arriving in Turkey, driver Kadir greeted me with a big smile and great warmth. He drove me from the hotel to the clinic and back every time – always on time, smiling and friendly 😊
At the clinic, I received a warm welcome from Can and Oj. I also met Batu, who always welcomed me and saw me off – a very friendly guy! I got to know the entire team and I can honestly say that I was treated like a friend, or even like a family member ❤️
A huge thank you to my wonderful dentist Gamze and nurse Humeyra! 🙏
Gamze is an outstanding specialist in her field. She works until she achieves perfection – and that perfection is my new smile! 😁✨
Big respect to the clinic owner for putting together such an amazing and warm team.
I highly recommend Amazing Smile Turkey to anyone who needs a new smile or even the smallest dental treatment! 💯
Amazing service from day 1. Very caring and great communication throughout. Onur is there 24/7 to help with any problems at all and always explains in good detail. Best service in Antalya and amazing results. Would highly recommend 5*+
Initially, My wife and I had a meeting in Leeds. We found Onur and the team very friendly and knowledgeable. She was advised that 'all on 6 was the best option for top and crowns to match for bottom. Everything was explained and the price was affordable(20k cheaper than uk) so we arranged our first visit.
On arrival, we were picked up at airport and taken to our hotel. We were given pick up times and were always picked up on time.
Treatment started the following day, impressions were taken and some teeth extracted. Bone grafting and sinus lift were necessary. This process was pain free thanks to injections, pain killers were prescribed for her comfort over the next few days.
We returned for implants and crowns to be fixed. Time was taken to reassure her throughout the whole process and the whole team were very friendly and approachable the whole time.
Onur was available and willing to talk and explain everything during the whole process.
The price given at initial meeting in Leeds didn't change, which I know isn't the case at some of the other dentists in Turkey.
She now does have an amazing, natural looking smile and is enjoying eating things she hasn't been able to for some time.
We were left feeling like friends rather than clients.
Would 100% recommend Amazing Smile Turkey.
From start to finish the service was second to none really professional company looked after us really well more than happy with my new teeth we had the pleasure of having Onur as our representative he treated us like family brought us every where we needed to go the doctors were top class service would highly recommend🦷🇹🇷

White composite tooth fillings in Turkey — mercury-free restorations for UK and Irish patients
White composite fillings restore decayed or damaged teeth using tooth-coloured resin that bonds directly to the enamel. They are mercury-free, natural-looking, and the standard of care in modern UK and Irish private dentistry. At Amazing Smile Turkey the same materials and placement techniques are used at a fraction of the cost.
Why composite over amalgam
Amalgam (silver) fillings contain mercury and are increasingly phased out. Composite is mercury-free, bonds chemically to the tooth structure rather than relying on mechanical retention, and matches your natural tooth colour. Composite also requires less removal of healthy tooth structure during preparation.
Who needs composite fillings
Any patient with decay, a chipped tooth, an old amalgam that needs replacing, or mild cosmetic wear can benefit from a composite filling. Large cavities or heavily broken teeth may need an inlay, onlay or crown instead — we advise honestly on which option suits each tooth.
UK vs Turkey — filling costs (2026)
Treatment

Amazing Smile Turkey guide price
Single composite filling
£80–£250
Typically 50–70% less

£100–£280
A fraction of the UK figure
Large filling / small build-up
£200–£400
Inlay/onlay consideration
UK figures reflect published private dental price guides (2026); your personal quote is issued free after a remote consultation.
How treatment works
A composite filling is placed in a single appointment of 30–60 minutes. Decay is removed under local anaesthesia, the cavity is shaped, and the composite resin is placed in layers and cured with a blue light. The filling is then shaped to fit your bite and polished to blend with the surrounding tooth.
How long fillings last
Modern composite fillings typically last 7–15 years depending on size, location and bite forces. Small front-tooth fillings last longest; large posterior fillings under heavy chewing force may need replacement sooner. Good oral hygiene and regular hygienist visits extend lifespan.
Modern composite resins are strong enough for most everyday chewing. Very large cavities may benefit from inlay or onlay restorations instead.
How much does a filling cost in Turkey?
A single composite filling privately in the UK is typically £80–£250. At Amazing Smile Turkey the same filling is usually 50–70% less.
Can I replace old amalgam fillings with composite?
Yes, and this is a common request. We remove the amalgam safely and place a bonded composite replacement.
How long does a filling take?
A single filling is typically placed in 30–60 minutes.
Does a filling hurt?
No — the procedure is done under local anaesthesia and is painless. Mild sensitivity for a day or two afterwards is normal.
How long do composite fillings last?
Typical lifespan is 7–15 years depending on size and location. Very large fillings may warrant an inlay or onlay for longer durability.
Are white fillings mercury-free?
Yes — composite fillings contain no mercury. Only amalgam fillings contain mercury.
Can fillings be whitened?
No — the composite resin does not respond to whitening gel. Plan whitening first, then match new fillings to the brighter shade.
Do you use the same composite materials as UK clinics?
Yes. Amazing Smile Turkey uses internationally recognised nano-hybrid composite brands from the same manufacturers supplying UK private practices.
When should I choose an inlay/onlay instead of a filling?
When the cavity is very large, when you need greater strength for a heavily chewed tooth, or when the remaining tooth structure would benefit from a laboratory-fabricated restoration.
