Tooth-colored fillings cost in Vernon Hills: frequently asked questions

How much do tooth-colored fillings cost in Vernon Hills?

Tooth-colored fillings in Vernon Hills, IL typically costs $345–$690 USD, about $517 on average, as of October 2026. By type: composite filling, one surface $170–$350; composite filling, multiple surfaces $290–$520; porcelain inlay or onlay $750–$1,700. These are estimates, not quotes.

Does insurance cover cosmetic fillings?

Most dental insurance covers composite fillings, though some may only pay the equivalent of an amalgam filling cost, with you paying the difference. Check your plan's policy.

Are cosmetic fillings safe?

Yes, composite fillings are considered very safe. They're mercury-free (unlike amalgam) and bond directly to tooth structure, which can help strengthen the tooth.

Composite vs amalgam: which is better?

Composite fillings look natural and bond to teeth but cost more and may not last as long. Amalgam is cheaper and more durable but contains mercury and is visible. Most patients prefer composite for visible teeth.

Does getting a filling hurt?

Fillings are usually done with local anesthetic, so most patients feel pressure and vibration but not pain. The injection itself can sting briefly. Teeth may be sensitive to temperature or biting for a few days afterward.
