No metal mouth for our patients – we only use tooth-colored fillings!

If you get a cavity, you don’t have to add insult to injury and announce it to the world with a metal (amalgam) filling.  Dr. Omeltschenko thinks amalgam fillings, comprised mostly of mercury, are an outdated technology (they’ve been used for over 150 years!)  He doesn’t want to risk the health of his patients or employees by having mercury in patient’s mouths or his dental office.

Instead he uses tooth-colored composite fillings when treating cavities.  A composite filling is made of a mixture of resin and finely ground glasslike particles.

The material will closely match your original tooth so no one will even know you had a cavity filled.

Tooth-colored composite fillings are an economical choice for restoring a decayed tooth.  While dentist’s fees vary, in Cincinnati the average price range for a composite filling is between $100 and $250 depending on the size of the cavity being treated.  To see our price for fillings, visit our price list page.

Please note composite fillings aren’t a good option for a cavity that has gotten out of control and is very large.  For these it is most likely that a CEREC Same Day Crown would be necessary.

Paying for your filling

We believe that everyone deserves a beautiful smile…today! Patients can get started on treatment immediately by taking advantage of one of our monthly payment plans. Information on setting up a monthly payment plan can be found on our Paying for Treatment page.

For patients with insurance, we will be happy to determine how much your insurance contributes towards a filling. We often see policies that pay as much as 80% towards the price of a filling.

For patients without insurance, we encourage you to join our Dental Savings Plan. This plan offers free exams and x-rays, as well as 10% off our other dental services, including fillings.

Don’t wait to get the smile you’ve been dreaming about!
