no insurance period and this tooth is killing me whenever something solid hits the center of the top of it.

My dentist charges about $100 for a big filling, $60 for a small one. Crowns are $600.

It depends on the type of filling material , the size and location of the area to be filled.

I had a filling "replaced" last year, not sure if that costs more than just a filling, but it was $120. :(

There's a new laser drill that doesn't require a shot.

I'm sure shinerburke would volunteer to knock it out for you for free.
