How much does a dental filling cost? Price list for filling cavities at Dental Fam Nha Trang

At Dental Fam (Nha Trang), dental fillings have two fixed prices: 500,000 VND/tooth for basic fillings and 1,000,000 VND/tooth for cosmetic fillings. Filling a baby's primary tooth costs 300,000 VND/tooth. The filling cost includes X-rays, and you receive a free examination when getting a filling at the clinic. Only if the cavity has affected the pulp will you pay extra for root canal treatment (which includes the filling after treatment), and this cost will always be quoted beforehand.

Many people delay treatment because they are worried about the cost of fillings, or they have heard a broad price quote and then been charged extra upon arrival. This article clearly explains how Dental Fam calculates the price of dental fillings, with specific examples for common cases.

Dental Filling Price List at Dental Fam

| Service | Price (VNĐ) | Unit |= |---|---|---|= | Basic Filling (inner surface, chewing surface, inconspicuous areas when smiling) | 500,000 | 1 tooth |= | Cosmetic Filling (outer surface, affecting your smile) | 1,000,000 | 1 tooth | | Filling for children's baby teeth | 300,000 | 1 tooth |

The price for fillings for both adults and children includes X-ray. For adults, the price also includes basic teeth cleaning. The 100,000 VND examination fee is waived when you have a filling done at the clinic. Besides the root canal treatment fee in case of cavities reaching the pulp, there are no other fees.

What is the difference between basic and cosmetic fillings?

Two different price levels exist depending on the filling location, but not the quality of the materials.

  • Basic filling (500,000 VND): applies to the inner surface of the tooth, where it's not visible when smiling.

  • Cosmetic filling (1,000,000 VND): applies to the outer surface, where aesthetics are affected.

Both use Solare composite material imported from Japan. Therefore, you don't need to worry that a basic filling will be less durable than a cosmetic filling. The dentist will tell you which level your tooth falls into during the examination.

Tooth filling price is calculated per tooth, not per cavity

This is a common misconception. At Dental Fam, the cost is calculated per each tooth, not per cavity or location.

For example: tooth number 6 and tooth number 7 both have cavities at the junction between the two teeth. Even if it's just one cavity, the dentist has to fill both teeth, so the cost is 2,000,000 VND (2 teeth × 1,000,000 VND), not 1,000,000 VND per cavity.

During the examination, the dentist will clearly indicate which teeth need filling and the total cost before starting.

How much does it cost to fill a large cavity?

The size of the cavity doesn't affect the filling price. The cost depends on whether the cavity has reached the pulp and whether the tooth has enough tissue for filling.

Large cavity but not yet reaching the pulp: still costs 500,000 VND (basic filling) or 1,000,000 VND (cosmetic filling) per tooth.

Cavity that has affected the pulp: the dentist will treat the pulp first before filling, instead of filling directly. The root canal treatment fee includes the filling after treatment; you do not have to pay extra for the filling. Root canal treatment fees are based on the publicly available price list:

Root Canal TreatmentPrice (VNĐ)Unit
Pulp Preservation3,000,0001 tooth
Root Canal Treatment for Permanent Teeth (1-2 Roots)2,000,0001 tooth
Root Canal Treatment for Permanent Teeth (Molar)3,000,0001 tooth

For teeth with significant tissue loss, unsuitable for filling: the dentist may recommend restoration with Inlay, Onlay, or Overlay, which are custom-made restorations for that tooth. The dentist will explain the reason and let you decide.

Tooth Tissue Preservation with Onlay, Inlay, OverlayPrice (VNĐ)Unit
DDBio4,000,0001 tooth
Cercon6,000,0001 tooth
Lava10,000,0001 tooth
Orodent Bleach12,000,0001 tooth
Orodent Multi ERA20,000,0001 tooth

How much does it cost to fill chipped, decayed, or spaced front teeth?

For decayed, chipped, or spaced front teeth, fillings are usually applied to the outer surface, visible when smiling, so the price is 1,000,000 VND/tooth for cosmetic fillings. If the filling is on the inner surface of the front tooth, the price is 500,000 VND/tooth.

For spaced teeth, the number of teeth needing fillings depends on the width of the gap and the shape of each tooth. The dentist will examine you, let you know how many teeth need fillings, and the total cost before proceeding.

The above figures include X-rays and free examination. If the doctor discovers that the decay has reached the pulp during the examination, the root canal treatment fee will be quoted in advance for your consent before proceeding.

How much does it cost to fill a baby tooth?

Filling a baby tooth at Dental Fam costs 300,000 VND/tooth, including X-rays. The baby tooth is filled with composite material in the same color as the tooth, blending naturally with the enamel. The child will be treated in a dedicated children's area, with a pediatric dentist present.

Filling a baby tooth allows the child to chew, smile, and speak comfortably, while also protecting the developing permanent tooth underneath.

Is dental filling covered by health insurance?

Dental Fam does not accept health insurance. The cost of dental fillings is paid according to the clinic's publicly available price list.

Health insurance only covers treatment at facilities that have a health insurance contract, and when the filling is for medical treatment purposes, not for cosmetic purposes. If you wish to use health insurance, please ask the clinic where you registered directly about the conditions and procedures.

How is a dental filling done at Dental Fam?

A filling usually takes 10 to 15 minutes, at most 30 minutes. Most cases do not require anesthesia. The dentist will only administer anesthesia if the tooth is sensitive or the cavity has reached the pulp.

The process consists of 3 steps: cleaning the decayed part of the tooth, removing all decayed tissue and bacteria, then filling with Solare material and shaping it to fit perfectly like a natural tooth.
