I cannot answer that b/c it really depends on the state and area you live in. The cost will also depend on how many surfaces your filling will consist of. The more surfaces the more money. The surfaces of your teeth are Lingual (tongue side) Facial (front side) Occlusal ( chewing surface) Mesial (side closest to your midline) Distal (side farthest from your midline).
There is a company called Care Credit that can help you make payments. This company is provided by the dentist. The dentist will get payed by the company...then you make payments to the company directly. There is no intrest charged to you...the dentist pays it.
Visit www.carecredit.com for more info.

Cavity Removal Cost

Check with the teaching hospital in your community; that's usually the University Hospital. Most have clinics where you can get dental work done by a dental student (closely supervised of course) for a drastically reduced price. I don;t know about cavities but I have a friend who had a root canal at Georgetown University School of Dentistry for about $200. A Cavity is probably a lot cheaper.

See if there is a local dental school in your area (dentist program at a college not just dental hygiene). It cost a lot less to have a student fix it. Or else it cost even less to just get the tooth removed than to have a cavity filled in but i wouldnt recommend that.

Around a few hundred bucks. Take care of it now, or you'll be spending much more on a root canal or extraction.
Check to see if there's any dental schools in your area; they're generally cheaper.

It depends on how big the decay is it can cost as little as a hundred dollars or much more that is why the longer you wait is a bad ideal because if the decay gets too big and reaches the nerve you will need a rootcanal/crown which cost hundreds!-asRDA

I don't know it depends on the dentist. It's somewhere around $60-$100 (depending on what needs to be done) Don't wait until it's really bad and has to be pulled 'cause that's mucho dollars.

Some hospitals emergency rooms have dental clinics... They will fill it and then bill you later.
