Dental filling costs are based on a number of different factors. These include the size of the filling needed. Dental insurance often covers preventative care consisting of regular exams, cleanings, and x-rays. Usually, a percentage of the cost of treatments like fillings are covered.

Check with your insurance company or our staff to see what type of coverage you have and what your potential out-of-pocket expenses could be. Sometimes dental insurances will not cover the placement of tooth-colored fillings on back teeth. They pay what they would have paid for a silver filling, and you pay the additional amount.

Prior to a filling procedure, we will go over what treatment you will need and give you an estimate of what we expect your dental insurance to pay based on the coverage we receive from your dental insurance provider.

This is not a guarantee of payment, rather an estimate from your dental insurance company. Sometimes they may pay more than expected, but often times they pay close to what was expected. There are times that they may deny coverage due to frequency or plan limitations.
