Do you replace Amalgam (Silver) fillings?

We follow guidelines of the ADA, which states that Amalgam fillings have shown no proven adverse reactions over many studies and years of clinical use. If your silver fillings are breaking down or have recurrent decay around them, it's appropriate to remove them and place another filling. If you as a patient are uncomfortable with amalgam fillings, we would be happy to help you replace them with a material you're more comfortable with.

How much do fillings cost?

Fillings cost between $130 and $342 depending on the number of surfaces and location of the tooth. Most insurances cover fillings at 80% after a $50-$100 deductible for the first filling. We always give you the cost of any procedure before beginning. Learn more about fillings with our detailed breakdown of costs.

How long do tooth fillings usually last?

Dental fillings are designed to be durable and long-lasting. The lifespan of a filling depends on factors such as the type of material used, the size of the filling, and oral hygiene practices. On average, amalgam fillings may last 10-15 years, while composite fillings can last 7-10 years or more with proper care.

How painful are fillings?

Modern dental techniques and anesthesia make the process of getting a filling relatively painless. Before the procedure, the dentist will administer a local anesthetic to numb the affected area, ensuring you don't feel pain during the filling. Some patients may experience minor discomfort or sensitivity after the anesthesia wears off, but this is usually temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. If you have concerns about pain, discuss them with your dentist for personalized care.

What are fillings used for?

Fillings are used to treat cavities (dental caries) by filling the space left after decayed tooth material is removed. They restore the tooth's structure, preventing further decay and preserving its functionality. Fillings can also be used to repair cracked or damaged teeth, restoring both form and function.

Dr. Kelly has the softest touch. When it came to administering the numbing injection and the subsequent drilling and filling, of a very deep cavity, I barely felt a thing.

Being private pay and needing several cavities filled I was nervous about the cost. The discount plan covered my cleaning, x-rays and took a percentage off of my fillings making the price affordable, as a single mama that means the world.
