Is $200 for 4 Teeth Fillings Expensive?
By Dr. Eastwood – Summerbrook Dental & Implants, Fort Worth, TX
Many patients ask me, “Is $200 for four teeth fillings expensive?” When you look at typical dental costs across the country, the short answer is no. In fact, $200 for four fillings is very inexpensive compared to standard pricing.
Most tooth-colored fillings cost between $150 and $300 per tooth, depending on how large the cavity is and where the tooth is located. Molars, for example, are usually more expensive because they take more time and require more material. If someone pays only $200 total for four fillings, that means they’re paying about $50 per tooth, which is far below the average national cost.
There are a few reasons why some offices may offer very low prices for fillings:
-
Promotional pricing
-
Discounts for multiple fillings done at once
-
Lower-cost materials
-
Shorter appointment times
While low prices may seem appealing, it’s important to remember that fillings must be placed correctly to last. At Summerbrook Dental & Implants, I use high-quality, tooth-colored composite materials that blend naturally with your teeth and hold up well over time. I also shape and polish each filling carefully so it fits your bite comfortably and supports long-term oral health.
Dental insurance may also affect how much you pay. Many plans cover 70–80% of basic services like fillings, which can reduce your cost significantly. My team always reviews your benefits with you and helps you understand your out-of-pocket costs before treatment begins.
Another thing to know is that my office is a no judgment zone. If you need one filling or several, my job isn’t to criticize—it’s to help you get healthy and protect your teeth from future problems.
So, is $200 for four fillings expensive? Not at all. It’s actually far less than the usual cost. What matters most is making sure the fillings are placed correctly with quality materials so they last.
