Composite, or tooth-coloured fillings cost around $162 AUD per tooth in Australia.  Aesthetically more pleasing than silver-coloured amalgam fillings they have a lifespan of five to seven years. The cost of composite dental fillings in Bangkok starts from as little as $27 AUD.

Dental fillings are generally an easy procedure to carry out and can be completed in a matter of minutes. 

First your dentist will numb the area around the infected tooth with a local anesthetic.  Then the tooth will be drilled out, removing the areas of decay.  After a thorough cleansing, the cavity will be packed with the appropriate filling material.  

Once this has hardened, the surface will be smoothed down to the correct size and shape, your bite will be assessed, and further adjustments made if necessary.  The procedure is finished once you and your dentist are happy with it.
