If you are searching for the teeth filling cost, here is the short answer: in Indirapuram and the wider Ghaziabad/NCR area, a tooth filling typically costs between ₹500 and ₹3,000 per tooth. A basic GIC (glass ionomer) filling usually costs ₹500–₹1,500, a tooth-coloured composite filling ₹800–₹2,500, and a deep or multi-surface filling ₹1,500–₹3,000. The exact price depends on the size and depth of the cavity, the material used, and which tooth is involved — a dentist can give you a precise estimate after a quick examination.
A filling repairs a tooth damaged by decay (a cavity). The dentist removes the decayed portion, cleans the area, and fills the space with a restorative material so the tooth regains its shape and strength. You likely need a filling if you notice:
Small cavities are painless, which is exactly why they get ignored — and why they grow. A cavity caught early needs only a simple filling; left alone, it can reach the nerve and require root canal treatment instead, which costs several times more.
Prices below are typical ranges for Indirapuram and Ghaziabad/NCR. Your exact cost depends on the cavity’s size and location; a dentist will confirm after examination.
GIC (glass ionomer) fillings — typically ₹500–₹1,500 per tooth. A reliable, economical option that releases fluoride, which helps protect the tooth. Slightly less durable than composite, so it is often used for baby teeth, non-biting surfaces, or as a temporary measure.
Composite (tooth-coloured) fillings — typically ₹800–₹2,500 per tooth. The most popular choice today. The resin is matched to your natural tooth shade and bonds directly to the tooth, so less healthy tooth structure needs to be removed. Suitable for both front and back teeth.
Deep or multi-surface fillings — typically ₹1,500–₹3,000 per tooth. When decay covers more than one surface of the tooth or sits close to the nerve, the filling takes more material, time, and skill, so the cost is higher. If decay has already reached the nerve, a filling alone will not work and the dentist may advise root canal treatment.
Inlays and onlays — typically ₹3,000–₹8,000 per tooth. Lab-made restorations for teeth too damaged for a regular filling but not damaged enough for a full crown. Made from ceramic or composite for a precise, durable fit.
The quoted price usually covers the filling itself. X-rays (if needed) may be billed separately, so ask for an all-inclusive estimate before starting.
Getting a filling is one of the simplest dental procedures — usually done in a single visit of 20–40 minutes:
A well-placed composite filling typically lasts 5–10 years, and often longer with good care. GIC fillings last around 3–5 years. To make your filling last:
See a dentist soon if you can see a hole or dark spot, if a tooth twinges with sweets or cold water, or if an old filling has chipped or fallen out. See one urgently if there is constant pain, pain that wakes you at night, or swelling — these suggest the decay may have reached the nerve, and waiting narrows your options. As a rule of thumb: a filling today is the cheapest dental treatment you will ever have; the same tooth a year later may need a root canal and cap.
No. Small cavities are often filled without any anaesthesia, and deeper ones are done under local anaesthesia, so you feel pressure but no pain. Mild sensitivity for a few days afterwards is normal and fades.
Typically ₹500–₹1,500 for a GIC filling and ₹800–₹2,500 for a composite (tooth-coloured) filling, depending on the cavity’s size and depth. Deep, multi-surface fillings can cost up to ₹3,000. The exact figure is confirmed after examination.
Composite is stronger, longer-lasting, and matches your tooth colour, making it the better choice for most adult teeth. GIC is more economical, releases fluoride, and works well for baby teeth and smaller, low-pressure cavities.
Yes. Most fillings are completed in a single 20–40 minute visit. Only lab-made inlays/onlays or teeth needing root canal treatment take more than one appointment.
The cavity keeps growing. Decay that reaches the nerve causes pain and infection, and the tooth then needs root canal treatment and a cap — a longer and considerably more expensive process than a simple filling.
