    How Much Does Dental Filling Cost?

    By Danny | Dental Knowledge | Comments are Closed | 21 October, 2019 | 0

    If you don’t have an idea about the dental filling cost, it’s easy to assume that it’s too expensive. What happens is that you set your dental health aside and think it’s not a priority. Chances are that any damage to your teeth will get worse because of the delay in proper care from a good dentist. 

    Are you currently suffering from toothaches? It may be because of cavities that have gotten worse. Cavities are areas in the teeth’s hard areas that have suffered permanent damage. The cavities turn into small openings or holes that cause tooth decay and toothache if left untreated.

    There are many factors that lead to cavities. It includes frequent consumption of sugary drinks and food, bacteria in the mouth, and not being able to brush and clean your teeth properly. But there is a way to treat this problem. Your dentist will put dental fillings to teeth that have cavities. Let’s find out what those are as well as the dental filling costs so you can prepare for it.

    What to Expect When Getting Dental Fillings

    The process of how the dentist fills the cavities is actually quite straightforward and simple. It may only take about an hour at the dental clinic. During your visit to your dentist, X-rays may be taken if the doctor finds it necessary so as to check your teeth further. Next, the procedure and other processes of the dental work will be discussed with you so that you will be ready on what to expect.

    In filling the cavities, the dentist will first numb the teeth, surrounding skin, and gums so that you won’t feel uncomfortable during the dental procedure. Next, the parts of the tooth that have decayed will be drilled out. When the tooth is ready, then the dentist will place the dental filling. The process of filling the cavities usually just takes several minutes.

    When the dentist is done placing the dental filling, your mouth is going to be numb for the next hours. As for risks, there are no significant risks that come with the procedure. However, do make sure that you keep the contact information of your dentist if you experience any complications or if you have any questions.

    A dental filling is the most common treatment in filling a tooth cavity. Nevertheless, a dental filling is also available for repairing teeth that have damages because of bruxism or teeth grinding. Parts of broken teeth may also benefit from having a dental filling.

    How Much Does Dental Filling Cost?

    Amalgam dental filling is the most affordable type of filler. The composite dental filling is a bit more expensive because the process required for placing them on the tooth is more sophisticated. 

    The materials that the dentist uses for composite fillers are also more expensive and additional dental equipment is necessary. Aesthetically, composite dental filling looks better as it can match the tooth’s colour, making it look natural. Many people who have amalgam filling often go to their dentist to have them replaced with composite ones.

    The dental filling cost may vary because of many factors. Here are some of them:

    • The location of the dental clinic as well as the dentist who will be performing the procedure.
    • Your dental insurance and whether it covers additional costs when it comes to a composite dental filling.
    • How many tooth surfaces are going to need dental filling and the level of damage of the teeth? 

    Amalgam dental filling can last for more than a decade. A composite dental filling can last up to seven years. But many factors need consideration like how well you take care of your teeth and how often you visit your dentist for a checkup.

    The amalgam dental filling cost is about $100CAD to $200CAD per filling. The resin-based dental filling cost is around $150CAD to $250CAD. But the price depends on the number of teeth surfaces that need a dental filling.

    Takeaway

    These are the things that you need to know about dental filling and how much dental filling costs. Do check your dental insurance so you’ll know what can be covered and how much you should prepare for if in case some of the costs won’t be included in the dental insurance policy.

    Now that you know the dental filling cost, you can have an idea of what to choose when the dentist asks you regarding the material for the dental filling. You can also ask your dentist for more information about the different dental filling and what he or she recommends for your case.

    Oral health is important and you should neglect it. As much as possible, do your best to prevent damage to your teeth by keeping a regular routine for your teeth such as brushing and flossing. If you notice any cracks or damage to your teeth, make an appointment with the dentist as soon as possible so that it can be treated. Don’t wait for the toothache to ensue and realize that the damage is already bad. Call Osmin Denture Clinic today and ask about the price range so you can start preparing for your dental filling treatment.
