What is the price of a dental filling

The price of a dental filling can range from several hundred dollars to thousands of dollars if the tooth is not treated with a nerve. Filling is also called tooth filling, which is a treatment method after tooth decay, removing the decayed tooth hard tissue, and then using different filling materials to fill the tooth, filling materials currently have glass ionomer and resin type materials, or inlays. If you use glass ionomer material, the price is relatively cheap, maybe one or two hundred dollars for a tooth. Glass ionomer materials are not wear-resistant and may gradually wear away over time. Moreover, the micro-leakage of glass ionomer material is relatively large, and it is easy to produce secondary caries. If the filling is done with resin-based materials, the price is relatively high, and may be thousands of dollars if the anterior teeth are restored with cosmetic resin. Resin material is more beautiful and close to the color of teeth, there are many models of resin material, you can choose resin material of similar color according to the color of teeth, and it is more wear-resistant, it is not easy to be worn out by eating hard things, the micro-leakage of resin material is smaller, and it is not easy to have secondary caries. For large area of tooth decay, inlay can be used, and the cost is higher. Therefore, if the filling material is glass ionomer, it may be relatively cheaper; if the resin material is used, it may be thousands of dollars.
