Planning a holiday or currently based in Spain’s southwestern coastal region? Then cut your dental bills in half (or even by a third) by getting your fillings in Valencia.

Learn how this basic yet essential treatment can help restore your dental health, paying the best prices online when booking through Dental Departures.

As the name suggests, a filling is used to fill in a tooth’s cavity following damage or decay. This helps to restore the tooth’s structure, which if left untreated can lead to more serious problems down the lin

This is because when a tooth is cracked, chipped or compromised in any other way, it becomes susceptible to bacteria, as well as sugar and starches from food. This can subsequently cause further decay, erosion and infection, often leading to a root canal.

To summarise, fillings are used to:

• Limit any more damage to the teeth
• Prevent nerve damage as a result of bacterial infection
• Decrease the chances of tooth loss in the future

Fillings can be made from:

• Gold
• Porcelain
• Silver amalgam
• Tooth-colored plastic
• Composite resin

How Long Will I Need to Stay in Valencia for Fillings?

Your fillings appointment in Valencia will typically take 30–45 minutes (longer if multiple teeth need to be treated).

It’s common for patients going in for a filling to receive other treatments at the same time; for instance, you may want to maximize your overall savings by also having your teeth scaled and polished.

As a starting price, a single composite filling in Valencia costs EUR 50 (GBP 45).

Costs will be higher for different types of filling or in the case of having multiple teeth treated.
