Fillings. Fillings are used to repair a cavity in your tooth caused by decay. The most common type of filling is dental amalgam, made from a mixture of mercury and different metals. Dental amalgam fillings are often used on your back teeth as they are hard-wearing.
Amalgam â This is a mixed filling made up of silver, tin, zinc, copper and nearly 50% mercury. Amalgam lasts about 10 years and is the least expensive dental replacement filling. The average cost for amalgam fillings is between $110 to $200 per filling. Composite resin â This filling is made of plastic and glass, lasting up to five years. It is more expensive than amalgam, but matches the color of your child's teeth. Treatment can be completed in only one visit to the dentist.
