Dental filling fell out-will i have to pay?

[maddogchen]

So one of my dental fillings fell out after more than a year, fell out while i was flossing. Is my dental place gonna charge me a lot of money to put it back in? Will they use the same filling that fell out? Or will I have to pay for a new one?

I'd think you would have to pay, maybe they'll give you a discount? Wait, did you buy the extended guarantee? 😛

Bah! extended guarantee. There should be lifetime warranties on these things! 😛
I guess I'll have to call them tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure you will have to pay, I did when mine fell out. Fillings aren't guaranteed for life, they will wear down eventually.

No 🙁 I guess i'll have to dip into my saving for a car piggy bank.
Man it feels like there's a giant hole in my tooth. But it looks real small in the mirror.

since your paying cash, shop around. our office gives a discount for cash patients.
