I found I have two front teeth cavities... can anyone estimate a cost for getting them filled with no dental insurance?

It can cross 1000. I recently had some tooth fixed, it fell off in the gym. And the dentists are such money milkers. You'd think when a dentist is milking a cow, it will love it, so it gets rid of all the weight and enjoys some free udder oscillation. Nope, not happening here. The moment it detects it's a dentist milking, it will MOOOOO like the mother of all MOOOOOs

My dentist was even joking that I was lucky it wasn't my front tooth. Cavities, depending on the depth, usually lead to crowns. Crowns in the front row are going to be expensive without insurance.

Why can't you have insurance?

My boss once voiced a famous quote:

"I hate the dentist"

One more thing. If you are close to Mexico, you can try taking a trip down there.

Countless folks I came across are getting their crowns from Mexico.

I just recently got 12 fillings and 2 surgical extractions. Luckily I have insurance so I didn't have to pay the full amount. I ended up paying $800 though. Without insurance and contract discounts my fillings would have been $279 each.
