Fillings in South Boston

What usually drives the price, what to ask before you agree, and the 10 offices we have on file in South Boston.

No invented prices

We publish a price only when a practice submitted it or when it came from your own written plan. Anything else would be a guess, and a guessed number is worse than none.

The line to look for on your bill: D2391 — One-surface back-tooth filling.

Why the price differs from office to office

  • Number of tooth surfaces involved
  • Front vs. back tooth
  • Tooth-colored composite vs. silver amalgam

Insurance

Usually covered around 80% after the deductible. Many plans 'downgrade' white fillings on back teeth to the silver rate — you pay the difference.

Ask these before you agree to fillings

  • “How many surfaces does each filling involve?”
  • “Will my plan pay the composite rate on back teeth, or downgrade it?”
  • “Is this decay urgent or can it be watched?”
