How much does it cost to replace silver filling?

Question

I don't have dental insurance and I want to know how much it costs to replace silver filling with composite filling for 1 tooth. I live in Miami, Florida.

Also, I haven't been to the dentist for about 10 years since I was a kid...so what does the dentist do upon the first visit and does that cost? If so, how much?

Answer 1

First of all,  please be aware that most insurances will not cover removing a good silver filling for a white one.   If something is wrong with the silver filling,  then most insurances will pay for the portion equal to what a silver filling costs,  and the patient must pay for the extra money it takes to pay for a white one.

Initial exam costs vary from dentist to dentist,  and a lot of them run special deals for the first visit,  check around in your area.

Hello, try this site: www.healthsavings.ourperfectcard.com I signed up online over 5 years ago now and have saved thousands. A silver filling cost around $150 and with this plan I paid only $50. I'm sure it may differ where you live. I'm in Texas. From xrays, cleanings, exams..etc. All services are included in this very affordable plan. They even had my benefits active in 2 hours and was able to use it the very same day. Hope this helps
