Cosmetic dental fillings are made of a composite resin and are an alternative to traditional metal fillings which can blacken in color over time. Composite resin dental fillings are strong, durable, and have a more natural appearance than other tooth fillings.
Dental fillings can be used to repair tooth damage from cavities and can replace mercury or amalgam fillings. Not only do composite resin fillings look better, but they are stronger than amalgam fillings. Composite resin fillings pose no known health risk.
Dental insurance may help pay for tooth fillings to repair cracked or broken fillings, but not to replace metal fillings. The cost of Composite resin dental fillings ranges from $150 to $200 per filling.
