What Impacts Tooth & Cavity Filling Prices
The price of a cavity filling in Calgary can vary based on several factors:
Filling Material
Composite (tooth-colored) fillings tend to be more expensive than amalgam (silver) fillings because they blend with your natural teeth and are more aesthetically pleasing. Gold or ceramic fillings, while durable, are also more costly due to the materials used.
Number of Surfaces Treated
The more surfaces of a tooth that need to be filled, the more time and materials are required, which increases the cost. A single-surface filling will cost less than a multi-surface filling.
Size and Location of the Cavity
Larger cavities or those in hard-to-reach areas (such as molars) may take longer to fill and require more precision, which can increase the price.
Complexity of the Procedure
In cases where cavities are located deep in the tooth or close to the nerve, the filling procedure can be more complex, potentially requiring additional steps like sedation or more advanced tools, raising the price.
By understanding these factors, you’ll be better equipped to anticipate the costs of your procedure.
Cost Savings and Payment Plans
Personal Funds
You can always pay for your cavity filling out of pocket. We accept various forms of payment, including credit and debit cards.
Insurance
We directly bill all major insurance providers, so you only have to pay the balance after applying your policy. It’s important to check your coverage, as some insurances may cover only certain types of fillings.
Canada Dental Benefit Program
This program offers financial support to qualifying Canadians for dental services, including cavity fillings. If you’re eligible, you may be able to cover part or all of your dental expenses.
Student Dental Program
Many universities and colleges offer dental insurance plans, often covering basic procedures like cavity fillings. If you’re a student, check if your institution provides dental coverage.
Payment Plans
We offer flexible financing options for patients without insurance or those facing high out-of-pocket costs. These plans allow you to pay for your treatment in affordable monthly installments, helping you get the care you need without financial stress.
