Dental fillings range in price from $50 - $4500 without insurance. The vast range in the total cost of fillings is due to the material used, the number of teeth filled, and the type of tooth needing filling. Dental fillings treat a small hole, or cavity, in your tooth. If you do not have insurance, dental fillings can be expensive. Still, there are multiple ways to reduce the cost and get dental fillings for an affordable price. 

The Cost of Dental Fillings

Fillings can be costly without insurance, costing up to $4,000. It is essential to get a dental filling for a cavity early. Leaving a cavity untreated can lead to more serious dental issues that require more expensive and often more painful procedures, like root canals or tooth extraction. The price can vary significantly due to the material used for the filling, your cavity size, how many teeth require fillings, and the types of teeth that need fillings.
