Answers:
Normally once a tooth has broken it will need a crown!. Another filling will weaken the tooth causing it to break again!. Crowns normally range somewhere around 800!. If you just lost a filing there should be no problem just replacing that!. It really just depends on where the tooth broke and how much of it broke!. Fillings vary in price based on the number of surfaces of the tooth that needs to be filled!. Each tooth has five surfaces!. Without insurance a filling that only covers one surface will probably be around 150!. The price goes up if more surfaces are involved!.

A general check up consists of a cleaning exam and xrays!. Which will probably cost around 200!. This is just a basic cleaning and four xrays!. However the doctor may want a full series of xrays which are around 150 by itself!. Also depending on if more then a basic cleaning is needed it can get more expensive!.

This is just a ballpark of what my office charges!. Fees vary depending on the state you live in and your area!. And whether or not you have insurance!. These fees are without insurance!.

As far as taking care of the tooth until your appointment< just be careful in that area and keep it clean!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Composite filling will cost you around $150 depending on number of surfaces!. Also the Full Mouth SCRP will cost to around $450!. Filling will take around 30 minutes and the SCRP will be done in two sittings!. For more on fillings you can read the following http://www!.identalhub!.com/ArticleSubCate!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I just had the same problem!. Four of my fillings broke and behind one of my filling was a nerve exposure!. Therefore, i had to have a route canal!. It was quick and painless and a permanent filling was put in!. A teeth cleaning and filling should cost around $45 unless you don't have dental insurance!. If you don't it will cost a lot more!. Until you get it filled, your teeth may be sensitive to cold drinks or even air!. Just take care of it like you would any other day; Brushing and flossing!. I hoped this help! =]Www@Answer-Health@Com
