What is Dental Filling?
A dental filling restores a tooth damaged by decay by removing the decayed material, cleaning the cavity, and filling it with composite resin, amalgam, or other material. It is one of the most common dental procedures performed. The treatment is completed in a single visit under local anesthesia.
Medicare Coverage
Medicare coverage for dental filling is determined by National Coverage Determinations (NCDs). Coverage status shown above reflects national policy.

How to choose where to get Dental Filling
The cash-pay price shown on this page is $115.07. Before you book, use these steps to find out which setting a quote comes from and what it includes.
Step by step
- Ask for a written treatment plan that lists each procedure with its dental procedure (CDT) code and price, so you can compare offices line by line.
- Ask whether the practice offers its own self-pay membership plan, and what it includes.
- Compare a dental school clinic. Dental schools often run clinics where supervised students provide care at a reduced cost. Source: NIDCR, finding dental care
- If your income is limited, check a federally funded community health center. Health centers offer a sliding fee discount based on your income and family size. Source: HRSA, find a health center
- Ask for a Good Faith Estimate. Dental providers are generally required to give one to uninsured and self-pay patients who schedule at least 3 business days ahead, or who ask. Source: CMS, medical bill rights
- Keep every estimate. If a provider or facility bills you at least $400 more than its Good Faith Estimate, you can start the federal patient-provider dispute process for a bill dated within the last 120 days. The fee is $25. Source: CMS, dispute a bill
