Fillings in Miami

Composite (tooth-colored) fillings are the most popular dental restoration in Miami, seamlessly blending with natural tooth color while removing decay and restoring function. Gone are the days of noticeable silver amalgam — most Miami dentists now offer natural-looking composite restorations.

Composite vs. Amalgam Fillings

Composite resin fillings are tooth-colored, mercury-free, and bond directly to the tooth structure for a more conservative preparation. Amalgam (silver) fillings are more durable and less expensive but visible and contain mercury. Most Miami providers now offer composite exclusively.

Dental Filling Cost in Miami

In Miami, composite fillings typically cost $150–$300 per tooth surface. Amalgam fillings run $75–$175 per surface. Most dental insurance plans cover 80% of filling costs after deductible. Many Medicaid-accepting dentists on this list provide fillings at low or no cost to qualifying patients.
