| I can not believe how much it cost just to fix a cracked filling. I CAN NOT AFFORD insurance so I have to pay the cash. I was so upset at the prices of these things. This was a very small crack in the filling. |

| I have CompDental through my employer (a school district). Their list of benefits says that each filling costs like $6. However, my dentist charges a $99 desensitizer fee per tooth. So, I need 4 fillings - close to $500 out of pocket for me even though I am esentially "covered" by insurance. This de-sensitizer is not a covered expense. |

| Cavities under two older mercury/silver fillings. Aetna insurance is not picking up much but... I am more than happy to get the mercury out of my mouth. Since they are pretty good size fillings I should cut my mercury exposure by about 1.8 micrograms/day. My old amalgam dentist actually freaked out when I inquired about replacing those very same 50% mercury amalgams with composites. I have two others that are going to get replaced here another month down the road. Not looking forward to the bill but I think it is worth it in my all around health. As I have found out cheap isnt always good for you. |

| Took my sons to the dentist and they each had one cavity which required filling. Even with insurance it was $185 per child. When I inquired as to what insurance paid, they said that the white fillings were not covered by insurance, but that they didn\'t even do silver fillings in the office. BUT-they submitted as silver fillings to the insurance which paid $110 which they said they passed the savings to us which meant that each filling was $295!!! I could not believe the cost even with insurance. |

| Insurance paid $147.00. Total amount was $210.00. Tooth number 30. Amalgam would have been less. I have two insurances, one attached to my primary insurace and an add on secondary. I have spent $250.oo on the secondary so far and have spent $250.00 in dental charges. I did have a crown last year, but I think that I am about even in terms of insurance costs vs. payments. |

Dentist said he gave me a discount. He took some x-rays, gave me an exam, and did a filling.
His office had two admin employees, one assistant, and one additional dentist. |

| Dentist' bill was $315 for resin composite-2 surfaces. Delta Dental PPO allowable allowance was $150 for comparable silver amalgam; so, I had to pay $235 to dentist: (50deductible, 20 copay, 165 white resin composite, not covered.) |

| I had a new cavity in a molar, dentist put in a composite filling for $220.00. He claimed that my amalgam (silver) filling that I had gotten years ago needed to be replaced, so he drilled it and replaced it with a composite for $275.00. Definitely feel bamboozled, as I went in for a cleaning and he rushed me through the fillings RIGHT AFTER, without really getting my consent. |

| Had a bunch of dental work done when I was 18 including 3 root canals. Fear of dentist since then. I really should of learned my lesson and take better care of my teeth but then new cavities formed after not taking care of them for 10 years. Insurance paid 80% of my dental work. |

| Paid 125 for checkup and xray, then came back expecting to pay about 100 for the fillings like the last time. Nope, ended up being 340, so 465 in total. Not going back there! No insurance, bills and life to pay for. And the reason I made the dentist appointment was something else I thought was wrong that really wasn\'t. Could have saved by not going at all. (Sault Ontario, not MI... no Canadian provinces in the list) |

| Got ripped off in Santa Barbara. Clerk wouldn't tell me how much insurance was covering, said I had to pay $300 up front to cover what insurance wouldn't cover. I figured I should be getting most back like couple yrs ago for couple fillings. No. Got bill and dentist charged $315 and $295. After insurance, I end up paying $330???!!! What a rip. Can't assume things were like before when insurance covered everything. Should have asked dentist up front what costs were. |

| I have a cavity between teeth. Quoted me a 3 surf at 285 and a 2 surf at 239. After insurance I will have to pay $309. I thought this was high but based on everyone else's experience maybe not. |

| I was just recently added to my husbands insurance and decided to visit the dentist. I was told I have 8 cavities that need to be filled. The insurance is covering a good portion but it's still going to cost me $289.80 for the 1st four and $299.20 for the last four. General cost per filling is $157! |
