Save on important restorative dental work by booking in with one of our listed clinics in Madrid for fillings.

Whether on holiday, business or planning a trip to Spain for more expensive dental work, getting a filling or two can help you keep costs down while avoiding the increasingly long waiting lists to see a dentist back home, particularly in the UK.

chips, cracks, decay or injury. These bacteria can infiltrate the root of the tooth and eventually cause infection.

Sugar and starches in the foods we eat can also erode the internal structures of the teeth (tooth decay), which often leads to more significant and costly problems down the line.

Fillings have a variety of applications in this regard, including:

• Limiting further damage to the structure of a tooth

• Protecting the inside of a tooth from nerve damage

• Improving overall oral health, preventing eventual tooth loss

Skipping a filling or two may not seem like such a big deal at the time, but your dentist will certainly tell you otherwise: putting off treatment can lead to more expensive root canal therapy, or even losing your tooth altogether.

In Madrid, our partner dentists can fill in teeth using a variety of materials, including:

• Porcelain

• Silver amalgam

• Composite resin filling

• Gold (although use is much less common nowadays).

The overall appointment time in Madrid will also depend on whether you opt to receive in-office teeth cleaning or scaling/polishing beforehand, as well as how many fillings are required.

In Madrid, prices for a single composite filling start from €40 (£34), with average prices at around €50 (£43),

Note: Prices will depend on the material used, how many surfaces are being treated and any additional work required to complete the treatment.

How Do I Get to Madrid?

When arriving in Madrid, most tourists take a taxi or the metro into the city center from the airport, with the latter option costing only a couple of Euros each way.

How Much Do Flights to Madrid Cost?
