How Much are Tooth Fillings?

Dental Fillings are a restorative procedure that is done to save whatever is left of your teeth while considering the aesthetics of it and prioritising the function. This is a treatment for broken or cracked teeth or for tooth decay.

There are several types of fillings available and your dentist will explain to you which will be suitable for your case.

The type of tooth filling is generally dictated by the location of the tooth in the mouth, the extent of the fractured teeth and the tooth decay, patient’s age, and patient’s expectations and budget requirements.

In our clinic, we offer variations of tooth filling materials to properly cater to whatever your dental concern may be. These tooth fillings Canberra are:

• Dental Amalgam – used for its proven strength, therefore ideally placed at molars for added teeth durability during chewing
• Glass Ionomer Filling – is a fluoride-releasing material best suited for children
• Composite Filling – has great capability to mimic the natural teeth; modern composites also have excellent strength and are now better weight-bearing material for chewing
• Gold and Silver Fillings – these metal fillings have high-quality durability that can withstand heavy biting forces

But the question is how much does a filling cost?
