Materials that may be used in dental fillings include dental amalgam, composite resin, glass ionomers, gold, and ceramic. The cost of dental fillings ranges from around $75 to $200 per tooth ($75 to $145 for metal fillings and $150 to $200 for composite resin fillings). With dental insurance, gold fillings typically run between $10 and $50, while ceramic fillings range between $40 and $100.
1 Some or all of these costs may be covered by dental insurance. 2  Filling a cavity can cost $50-$300 or more for a silver amalgam filling, and $90-$450 or more for a tooth-colored composite; insurance typically covers all or most of the cost of amalgam fillings, but only part of the composite filling cost. Dental crowns can cost $500-$1,500 or more per tooth for porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns; $600-$2,500 or more for gold or other metal alloys; and $800-$3,000 or more for all-porcelain. 2  Crowns are not covered by insurance if they can be considered cosmetic.
