Is filling 1000 expensive? Before filling the teeth, it only cost more than 300 yuan. Why is there such a big difference in price?

Hello doctor, I would like to ask if there is a big difference in the price of dental fillings? I only spent more than 300 for fillings before, 

but I needed 1,000 for fillings some time ago. Is this price reasonable? Why is there such a big difference in price?

A: Hello, I am very happy to answer your question.

The price of dental fillings has a lot to do with the filling material and the condition of the teeth. If the degree of tooth decay is not deep, 

the price of simple dental fillings will generally be cheaper, ranging from tens to hundreds, but if the tooth decay is too deep , 

caused damage to the nerve of the tooth, and if root canal treatment is required or the filling material used by the doctor is better, 

the price of filling the tooth will be slightly more expensive, ranging from hundreds or even thousands of dollars, so as long as the 

hospital you choose is regular, the charge will be 100%. It depends on the condition of your own teeth.

What kinds of filling materials are there?

There are three kinds of dental filling materials, common light-curing resins include glass ionomers and amalgam.

Light-curing resin: This material is a relatively common dental filling material, also known as composite resin material, 

which is translucent, similar in color to natural teeth, and has good wear resistance, so it is more commonly used, 

and the price will be slightly higher Some, the disadvantage is that the material will shrink, so there may be small gaps after the filling.

Glass ionomer: This kind of dental filling material is relatively soft in texture and poor in wear resistance, 

so it looks beautiful without resin materials on the outside, and the price is relatively low, but its advantage lies in its adhesiveness, 

and it can release fluorine, which has anti-caries effect.

Amalgam: This is a strong and durable dental filling material. It is filled with a mixture of various alloys. It will harden and harden after use, 

so it is very durable. The disadvantage is that it does not look beautiful.

Hope my answer can help you.
