D2391 resin 1 surface post permanent Tth 19 Surf: O
Cost 180 per filling

Cost $250 out of pocket after what insurance covered for root canal...then $2000 for 1 post/crown. Ridiculous

Visit smile San Diego in Chula vista. I was supposed to have a 5000 dollars worth of dental work, I only paid 1000;in addition to my insurance who paid 1000. More than 6 crowns ;and 7 filling. They are r group so too many patients

I have been avoiding the Dentist for a really long time but after much thought, I decided I need to save my teeth! Luckily I had only two small cavities on two left molars. Each filling cost $176 for a total of $352 without insurance. Fortunately this included the numbing medication too! Dentist are so expensive! Supposedly I got a lower rate since they are new in my area. Hope this helps :-)

293 to fill 4 surface cavity, got infected, dentist made notes all over file about how it might get infected and root canal needed, crown. etc. had it pulled instead for another 210. switched dentists spent another 550 on two more cavities. now one of them is not feeling so good. it was a two surface. need to go back for full exrays to find out how many more cavities I actually have. no insurance. This is unreal expensive.

So far, I have had 4 crowns and about 7 cavities filled. I only have a "discount" type plan through work, not an "insurance" plan. I always feel like I am getting ripped off...but seem to think now after reading around, I am right in the middle of equal to everyone else. Dam these people really overcharge for our health!

Charge for each cavity is 299.00, insurance allows 81.00, but will only pay 64.80. We're responsible for 234.00 for each tooth. Daughter has 2 peg teeth (congenital) and a chipped front tooth that need to be wrapped with composite. Charge for each tooth is 312.00, insurance pays 118.00. We have Blue Shield of California.

(Cost does not include xray) One shot of
novocaine.(Self-pay- no insurance).Haven't needed
filling in years,so is this dentist's rates high?If they are, I'll find another dentist!At least w/other repairs, you can get estimates first.not the case w/this dentist.

Total bill was $1600, $250-350/fillingrnInsurance paid all but $239 (80 of which was for sedation)So I'm thankful I have dental insurance, but this seems very expensive for 2 hours of work.$800/hour? Are dental materials really that costly? I'll remember to floss daily now!

Have Aetna ppo went to out of network dentist they did not say anything until after I was done. They just want money. First was X-rays , long session of teeth cleaning , three amalgam fillings, and started root canal. Have two more appointments to attend. had insurance through work for 6 yrs and haven't used it till now. Recommend if u have insurance use it yearly for dental cleaning and check ups to avoid bad tooth decay. Paid $663 out of pocket insurance paid 80% for most of the stuff I needed done.

I paid 1335.00 out of pocket for 1 crown and 1 filling.

4- 2 surface each 228
6- single surface each 175

Ins paid only a fraction of half of the teeth. I pd up front before treatment with 5% discount out of pocket was 1576. I'm going to see if there is an allowable amt per ins for each tooth as I regret swiping my card!

Aetna PPO denied the entire claim saying they only cover amalgam fillings. Was not offered choice while in the chair. Ouch.

Recently lost a 4-year old filling while flossing; dentist explained some decay had occurred, hence the loosened filling. Refilled with composite materials; entire procedure was fast, painless, and competent. I don't where my dental bill falls in the low-to-high scale but I was more than satisfied with the service. No dental insurance, unfortunately, so it's all pay-as-you exit with my dental office.

I have spent a total of $1,251.00 on 5 fillings for my 4 yr. old granddaughter and they are baby teeth! Does anyone else find this ridiculous?? I paid it because she was in pain and needed something done, but needless to say we will not be going back there!! I paid $986.00 then today the found another "small" cavity. I told them to go ahead and fill it. Then they wanted another $265.00!!!!

First time back at. Dentist in nearly 2 decades since an improperly cleaned filling almost killed me when I was 12 doc says I need 18 fillings mostly between teeth primarily 2 to 3 surf is the 1750 a normal quote or should I look elsewhere I have negligence and they cover 75% up to 2000...

I was quoted a price of filling a cavity I think it was on #26, front bottom, son chipped it when he was a baby and stood up into my chin. tooth chipped on top and they put a filling on it that lasted 24 years. Now it needs filling again and I was given the price of 350 dollars for one small filling. I think I should shop around or is that a normal price?

I purchased individual delta dental dmo in CA to cover the cost of cavity I discovered through an exam & cleaning I purchased through groupon. The groupon dentist quoted me $256 per filling but I didn't end up using him because the exam was cursory & the dentist didn't even look in my mouth. Purchased dental dmo plan & went to the new dentist who found the same decay & the chipped molar (which I had suspected after I bit down on a small rock in food). Recommended I do an onlay vs. filling as the decay was in between the teeth & once he started drilling, the decay was deeper than what the x-ray seemed to indicate.
$115 - 3 surface composite resin for posterior
$415 - onlay ceramic/porcelain 3 surface
The above amounts are the copay that Delta Dental DMO plan specifies that I pay to the dentist. The DMO plan cost me $133/year & there are no copays for cleaning & x-rays. Since I have another onlay & maybe a crown to go, this plan is better than just paying cash.

2 large gum line the rest small ones

I doubt any of us have BRUSHED,BRUSHED,BRUSHED... like we shoulda ! and ALL the soft drinks are damaging to them too.

I had an examination, two cavities drilled and filled with composite resin. Total cost was $100. When I had a root canal done previously the cost, with the crown, was around $400. Good service too. A fraction of what I quoted in the US.
