How much should I expect to pay to remove and replace the fillings? Thank you. Alyson<\/p>\n<p>Alyson,<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for contacting Delaune Dental in Metairie, Louisiana, about silver fillings removal.<\/p>\n<h2>How Much Does Silver Fillings Removal Cost?<\/h2>\n<p>The cost of a silver (amalgam) fillings removal and replacement with white fillings depends on several factors, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The condition of your tooth<\/li>\n<li>The location of the affected tooth<\/li>\n<li>The filling size<\/li>\n<li>Dental fees where you live in the U.S.<\/li>\n<li>The dentist\u2019s process for removal and replacement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Silver Filling Removal Cost<\/h2>\n<p>Dentists vary in their process and cost for removing amalgam fillings. You can expect fees of $500 to $1,000 or more, depending on whether a dentist practices safe amalgam removal. When you call dental offices for pricing, ask how the dentist removes amalgam fillings, which affects the fees.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is the Cost of a Composite Filling?<\/h2>\n<p>A composite, tooth-colored filling can cost $300 or more. But the cost depends on the condition of the tooth and filling size. Some fillings are so large that a cosmetic dentist may recommend a porcelain overlay, a custom ceramic restoration that covers one or more biting surfaces of a tooth.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is the Cost of Safe Amalgam Removal?<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_1027\" style=\"width: 543px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1027\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1027\" src=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/mercury-free-b-a.jpg\" alt=\"Image left of silver amalgam fillings loaded with mercury.

When you ask questions about a dentist\u2019s fees, specify which teeth are affected and whether the dentist practices safe amalgam removal.<\/p>\n<p>After an exam and x-rays, a dentist can give you a more accurate estimate for replacing your silver fillings. If you have dental insurance, you can send a treatment estimate to the insurance company to project your out-of-pocket costs.<\/p>\n<p>Metairie cosmetic dentist Dr. Duane Delaune sponsors this post.
