How much does a filling cost?

It all depends on where it is, how big it is and if you need x-rays and other tests first.  For a single-sided filling on a tooth close to the front, most dentists in Brisbane change between $130 and $250.  We’re very competitive.  It’s always best to have regular check-ups and to act quickly if a dental problem arises.  The longer you leave it, the bigger the procedure to fix it!
