3 myths about dental fillings
There's a lot of misinformation on the web about dental fillings. Don't worry yourself before your procedure - listen to the Yakima, WA experts instead. Here are three myths about dental fillings, busted:
- They're expensive. The cost of fillings varies based on the materials used. Gold fillings can often set you back more than $1,000 without insurance, but silver or resin fillings are usually no more than $200.
- They're painful. A dental filling procedure will not hurt you. We use a local anesthetic and numbing agents to ensure you won't feel a thing.
- They look bad. Most fillings these days are tooth-colored. No one even has to know!
