Case Description
Hi. I am in need of a dentist in the Dallas area. I have just started a new job with the state and my dental plan will not begin for 90 days. However, I think I have a cavity. I am not experiencing any pain or sensitivity but it feels like it is eroding. Can anyone give me an estimate of how much my out of pocket expenses would cost to get a cavity filled? Thank you for your time!

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Cost Estimate: $$150-250
Hi there. It is hard to estimate what a filling for a tooth will cost because the fee is based on what tooth is involved, had bad the decay is, and what materials are used for the filling. Also, typically and exam with an x-ray is required before any work can be performed. That being said, I will give you a fee range. Hope this helps! Dr. Hibbs
