How much does the average dental filling cost in asia and what do they use?

Asia, a broad questi: Asia is a big place. There are different health care systems from country to country over there, so this question needs to be narrowed down to a specific country. The dental materials in asia are likely to be the same as here...Dental amalgam or resin composite. Price also varies on how big the cavity is and how many surfaces it covers.

In china $20: I was in dental office in shanghai , if filling done by local dentist - the cost is about $20, if done by foreign dentist- may go up to $200.

Workmanship: While the material is important, the quality of the workmanship is likely even more important. Dental materials have to be handled in a specific maner, the properties of a dental composite are severly compromised if it is not handled and placed properly. You need to be aware that the standard of care is different in 3rd world countries than it is here in the usa.
