Laser Tooth Fillings?

My dentist is going to do some fillings on my tooth decays. I have quite a few tiny decays that needed to be filled by using Laser tooth fillings. I've been quoted that it'll cost a couple of hundred dollars to a few hundreds. Are these cost for per tooth? How expensive/affordable is laser fillings in Australia? I've done research on the net and it seems that there are not many Australian dentists using laser tooth fillings.

Laser Tooth Fillings?
"Laser fillings" have nothing to do with the color of the restorations, nor with the actual type of fillings placed. The laser is only used in the conservative removal of the decayed tooth structure, not in the restoration process. First, the dentist removes the decay with the laser, then puts the white filling material into the tooth (also called "bonding" or "composite"). Amalgam, or "silver," fillings can actually still be done on a tooth that has had the decay removed by laser. In the U.S. the fees for fillings range from $100-$300 per tooth depending on office location and type of filling being done. Our office uses a laser called the Biolase, but not very often. It is more applicable to soft tissue surgery rather than hard tissue removal, especially where there are existing fillings that need to be replaced. I hope this helps.
Reply:laser tooth fillings is popular nowadays... in the past peolpe use amalgam... yap it's per tooth and it depends on how many surface you have cavities... if you have bigger cavities... then it means bigger pay! heheheheh...





%26gt;yah, it's good that your fillings is laser because it is the same color as your teeth. when you want to smile people will not see the "iron" thing if it is amalgam...
