The price of a filling: what to check before treatment
When comparing filling prices, a single figure is not enough. You need to know which item it describes and what is included. This short guide helps you prepare specific questions and understand the cost you discuss with the dentist.
Why are there three prices in the list?
At Karlin Dent, composite fillings are listed by the number of surfaces: one, two or three. The price list therefore does not give one universal price for every type of treatment on a tooth. You will discuss which item applies to you with the dentist after an examination.
Composite fillings in the Karlin Dent price list
These are individual price-list items, not whole-visit packages or a personal estimate.
Write down the exact item name when comparing offers. The same amount at another practice may describe a different scope. Do not choose a filling category yourself based only on a photograph or how the tooth looks in a mirror.
Which items may be listed separately?
The current price list includes separate entries for examinations, imaging, local anaesthesia, a rubber dam and temporary fillings, for example. Their presence in the list does not mean you need all of them or that they will automatically be added to your visit.
Ask which items apply to your proposed treatment and what the amount already includes. Do not add up individual rows yourself to predict your treatment cost — the dentist will discuss the necessary approach with you.
Three steps towards a clear agreement
- Before the visit: tell reception that you would like an examination to discuss a possible filling. You do not need to send a detailed medical record in an ordinary booking message.
- During the examination: ask the dentist to explain the proposed treatment and the corresponding price-list items.
- Before treatment: confirm the scope and the total amount discussed. Ask how any changes to the original proposal will be agreed.
Is this your first visit to us?
An initial examination at Karlin Dent costs 700 Kč. Imaging, additional procedures and treatment are charged separately. Reception will arrange a suitable time with you; submitting the form does not itself confirm an appointment.
If you are considering restoration of several teeth and want to explore digital records and planning, there is also a separate comprehensive consultation for 3 000 Kč. This is not a mandatory first step for everyone who needs a filling.
Four questions to take with you
- Which price-list item matches the proposed treatment?
- What does the quoted price include, and what is charged separately?
- What total amount have we discussed before treatment?
- How will we agree on changes if the original proposal needs to change?
Where can you find the current conditions?
Visit the fillings service page for details and the appointment enquiry, and the current price list for individual fees. Check payment arrangements for your own situation: a public price should not be treated automatically as the amount covered by your insurer.
The aim is to agree on a clear scope of care, rather than choose treatment by the lowest figure alone.
