How much does it cost to get a cavity filled??

Answer 1

It depends of the cavity and on the dentist you use. You'll need to check with him/her.

Answer 2

The range of prices Dentists charge swings from cheap to VERY expensive.
I went to a nearby dentist last week and she wanted $100!
Then I called a dentist I've been going to who is a 1/2 hr from where I live and he said he would charge me $50.
So I guess it depends on the 'neighborhood' the dentist is in (and what his rent & other expenses are).
I've even read where some dentists charge as much as $200-300 for a filling.
It also depends on the tooth that needs to be worked on. A molar is more expensive than a front tooth for instance.

But don't delay having it fixed, because if you let it get worse you may need more than a filling ... you may need root canal work, which then becomes VERY expensive.

You could try calling a local Dental College, they don't charge as much as a regular dentist. Or you can try googling, 'cheap dentist, (with the name & place/state of your town) and see what comes up.

Answer 3

At the Dental College I go to (trained students do the work), I think the average cost for a simple one surface filling is $30-50. My insurance covers it so it is free for me ($5 co-pay)

Answer 4

like about $100

Answer 5

It will cost you $120

Answer 6

Depends on what surface the cavity is? is it a mesial, distal, occlusal, buccal/facial, or a lingual surface, or many of those surfaces combined?

Answer 7

Good question. I'm gonna GUESS $180? It's crazy.

The girl with no name gave great advice- check with the dentist- damn do these dumbshits actually walk among us??

Answer 8

more than $50.

Answer 9

HELLO VENNESSA,
THIS ALL DEPENDS ON THE TOOTH SURFACES TO BE FILLED AND THE MATERIAL USED FOR THE FILLING. THE WHITE MATERIAL (COMPOSITE) IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE SILVER (AMALGAM).
