A cavity (caries) may be discovered in one of your teeth or molars during a regular dental check-up. You might have already noticed it: the tooth or molar is likely more sensitive and can be painful, for example, while eating. The dentist fills that cavity with a special dental filling. This allows you to continue with a radiant smile.
When tooth decay occurs, a cavity can develop. It can also happen that one of your molars has been damaged in another way, for example, during an accident. A filling prevents pain and further damage to your teeth. A dental filling can also become damaged itself, for instance, if it develops a fracture. This can also be resolved with a new filling.
There are different types of fillings. Usually, the dentist chooses ‘white’ (tooth-colored) fillings, which are the least noticeable in your mouth. Composite is the most commonly used material for fillings due to its natural color.
The cost of placing crowns depends on your insurance and the condition of your teeth. For example, has a piece of your tooth or molar broken off due to an accident, necessitating a crown? In that case, the costs are often (partially) reimbursed. In other situations, the costs are entirely at your own expense. Unfortunately, we cannot assess this in advance.
On our rates page, you can find a document listing all dental treatments including costs. Nevertheless, the costs for crowns may deviate from this, as crowns are always custom-made. You can, of course, check with your own insurance provider regarding reimbursement. Additionally, we are happy to assist you and provide advice regarding your crowns.

If a cavity needs to be filled, it can be painful or feel unpleasant. This is because the dentist drills into your tooth or molar to remove the decay or the old filling. Subsequently, the tooth or molar is cleaned and etched so that the filling material adheres better.
Is the drilling very deep or do you have sensitive teeth? Then you can receive anesthesia from the dentist. An injection will be given into your gums. The anesthetic ensures that you no longer feel pain during the drilling and filling of the tooth or molar.
The costs of filling a cavity or a broken molar can vary. For example, the costs depend on the size of the filling and the material used. Furthermore, fillings are not always (fully) reimbursed by your insurance. Is the filling necessary due to an accident? Then the costs may be (partially) reimbursed. Contact your insurer if you want to know more about the reimbursement of filling costs.
Unfortunately, we cannot provide an estimate of the costs for fillings for your teeth or molars in advance. Please refer to our rates page for a document listing all dental treatments and their associated costs. Because a filling is always custom work for your teeth, the costs may vary. We are happy to assist you with advice.
