What are the types of fillings?


Why Do Composite Fillings Hurt?

The pain is due to tooth sensitivity. A tooth that has recently had a filling placed will become more sensitive especially to cold and hot foods, pressure of biting and air temperature. When you have this type of pain from a filling it should go away on its own within a few weeks. If the pain does not resolve on its own it is recommended that you contact your dentist as soon as possible.

Are Composite Fillings Strong?

As mentioned above composite fillings do not last nearly as long as amalgam fillings. Composite fillings are made of a plastic and ceramic compound. These fillings are able to blend right in due to the resin mimicking the appearance of natural teeth. They are also well known for being tooth colored fillings or white fillings. Easy adhesion is also used for composite fillings, the resin bonds to the surface of your tooth.

How Much Does It Cost for Composite Fillings?

Fillings definitely range in price. Whether that be with or without insurance. The cost of fillings depends on a lot of things including how many fillings are needed along with whatever materials are used. Fillings that are tooth colored cost anywhere from $90-$250 for a single tooth or two teeth and anywhere from $150-$450 for three or more. The most expensive option is the gold or porcelain fillings, they can cost anywhere from $250-$4,500 which is all dependent on the cavity size.
