If you have ANY questions about your dental treatment, they should be
discussed with your dentist.  Asking people here, who don't know exactly
what was done, really is useless.   ASK YOUR DENTIST!

Indeed, there was a time when a filling could be done for only $75.
Those days are over, gone the way of $1.50 gasoline. (Remember way back
in 2003? I paid $1.50 for gas back then.)

In my town, the smallest fillings seem to go for over $100, and the
largest can be over $225 each. Thus the $168 seems to be in the middle
of the pack for a middle-to-large filling.

It is always best to ask the fee before proceeding with treatment.

You'll need the ADA code to look up the fee an insurance company would
allow. Ask the dentist for the code. Here are the fees for the "GE
wellness plan " in the north east (2005 prices) .AOn this particular
plan the fees are ~2/3 what a traditional insurer, like delta dental ,
would allow
