Popular Dental Science: Influencing Factors of Dental Filling**
Many friends will encounter some doubts when filling teeth:
Why do some fillings cost only a few hundred, while others cost thousands? ”
Why is there such a big difference in fillings? ”
Today, let's talk about the basis of the charge for filling, and what are the factors that affect filling**.
Selection of materials
There are many kinds of filling materials, and different materials have their own advantages and disadvantages, and doctors generally choose different filling materials according to the patient's oral condition, economic situation and aesthetic requirements.
The extent of tooth decay
Depending on the location of the tooth decay and the degree of decay, the difficulty of filling the tooth is also different. The number of cavities and the degree of decay during the filling will lead to a difference in the cost of filling.
For example, when the depth and extent of tooth decay reaches below the gums, the gum may need to be removed, or even the alveolar bone may be removed to fill the tooth, and the cost will vary.
Different ways
Ordinary fillings are generally made with a single filling material and are filled according to the shape of the tooth.
Aesthetic filling is a layered molding that imitates the dentin and enamel of the tooth to achieve a realistic shape with the original tooth and achieve the effect of being fake.
Compared with ordinary fillings, aesthetic fillings are difficult to operate and take a long time, and the cost of ordinary fillings is generally the cost of aesthetic filling.
The impact of the institution
Fillings** can also be affected by factors such as urban area, medical institutions, and doctors.
