What does Piedmont Dental charge for a filling?
Piedmont Dental in Rock Hill, SC publishes $260 per tooth for filling, one surface, which is in the lower half of the typical national range; and $330 to $480 per tooth for filling, larger or multi-surface, which is within the typical national range. It is the pricing partner of this calculator, and its fee sits beside the national range, never inside it. See this fee on their site.
The office explains its filling fee this way: "The office quotes a range here on purpose. The real-world cost of a one-surface filling can run from $0 with some insurance plans up to $500 depending on the size of the cavity and the complexity of the tooth. The $260 is what the practice would charge someone without benefits for a straightforward one-surface filling."
What will the final bill include?
What these numbers do and do not includeEach fee is for one procedure on one tooth, not the whole visit. An exam comes first, and whatever the tooth needs after that, a filling, an extraction, a crown, is its own line. The fee can also move with what the dentist finds once they are looking at the tooth: a cavity that looked small on the x-ray can need a bigger filling, and an extraction that looked simple can turn surgical. Treat this as a starting point. The exact number for your visit is confirmed before any treatment starts.
