How much does it cost to get a cavity filled at a dental clinic with no insurance? – Kevin
Kevin – The cost can vary, depending on what type of filling you choose—amalgam (often referred to as “silver”) or tooth-colored—and depending on the size of the cavity. The dental clinic that performs the procedure, as well as the location/city where the procedure is performed can affect the cost.
The best way to get a good approximation of the cost is to visit the clinic and have your tooth examined.
In general, the cost of amalgam fillings can be approximately $110 to $300 per filling. White composite fillings can cost approximately $150 to $500 per filling. Many patients prefer composite fillings that blend in naturally with their teeth.
In addition to dental insurance, most dentists accept various forms of payment and offer payment plans.
