Kids Dentist Costs in Springfield, Illinois (2026)

Approximate price ranges — may vary by provider and insurance plan

ProcedureTypical Cost
Child dental exam + cleaning (under 12)$100 – $300
Fluoride treatment$20 – $50
Dental sealants (per tooth)$30 – $60
Child X-rays (bitewings)$25 – $75
Composite filling (child, per tooth)$100 – $300
Stainless steel crown (primary tooth)$200 – $400
Pulpotomy (baby tooth root canal)$150 – $300
Space maintainer$200 – $500
Nitrous oxide sedation (per visit)$50 – $150
Athletic mouthguard (custom)$200 – $500

None of the pediatric-specific sources checked this session (a pediatric cost-guide site, a national pediatric-practice FAQ site that returned a server error, and the American Association of Orthodontists' mouthguard page) could be verified to publish the specific dollar figures used for these procedures — the AAO page describes mouthguards without listing prices, and the other sites either lacked child-specific pricing or were unreachable. Figures here instead reflect national and Midwest-regional averages for kids' dental procedures as of 2026 in USD, blended with typical private-pay rates where Springfield-specific child pricing was not published by local practices. The Illinois HFS Medicaid/All Kids fee schedule is referenced only as general context — that public-program reimbursement runs well below the private-pay rates shown here — not as the source of these specific numbers. Stainless steel crown and pulpotomy figures reflect typical private-pay rates. Most kids' dental practices in the Springfield area accept Medicaid/All Kids alongside private insurance. Always obtain multiple quotes from local providers for the most accurate pricing.

Springfield clinic with a dental implants specialty that covers children / pediatric dentistry by implication, across 4 documented services.

Read full description

Affordable Dentures & Implants provides dental care on Gateway Street in Springfield, Oregon. Implants are considered by many dentists the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, since the titanium post fuses with the jaw bone over several months and then supports a crown that functions much like a natural tooth. Enough healthy bone is the main prerequisite, and a graft can build that up first if needed.

Dentures replace some or all of the natural teeth in a jaw with a removable appliance, custom-fitted to the mouth. A full denture replaces every tooth; a partial fills gaps where some natural teeth remain. Because the jaw bone reshapes over time, dentures typically need adjusting or remaking periodically.

An extraction removes a tooth that cannot reasonably be saved — from advanced decay, severe infection, impaction, or overcrowding ahead of orthodontic treatment. Done under local anaesthetic, the appointment itself is not painful, though soreness for a few days afterward is normal.

General dentistry covers the routine and restorative care most people need most often — examinations, cleanings, fillings, and preventive checks that catch problems while they are still small and inexpensive to treat. Regular attendance, roughly every six months for most patients, is what makes that early-catch approach actually work.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list. Get in touch through it to ask questions or book a visit.

Raven Dental provides dental care on 6th Street in Springfield, Oregon. Implants are considered by many dentists the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, since the titanium post fuses with the jaw bone over several months and then supports a crown that functions much like a natural tooth. Enough healthy bone is the main prerequisite, and a graft can build that up first if needed.

A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.

Cosmetic treatment is generally the least invasive branch of dentistry, built around changing how teeth look rather than fixing something broken. Whitening and bonding sit at the lighter end; veneers and reshaping involve more planning. Most cosmetic dental insurance excludes this kind of work, since it is elective rather than medically necessary.

A crown covers an entire damaged tooth — used when too much structure is missing for a filling to hold reliably, whether from a large fracture, extensive decay, or after root canal treatment. It restores both the shape and the biting strength of the tooth underneath.

Professional teeth whitening uses a peroxide-based gel, applied under supervision at a strength stronger than anything sold over the counter, to lift years of staining from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. It works on natural enamel only — existing crowns, veneers, and fillings keep whatever shade they were made in.

Dental Bonding is also among the treatments offered here, and the practice can explain what it involves and whether it fits your situation at a consultation.

A filling repairs a tooth after decay has been cleaned out, most often using tooth-coloured composite resin that is shaped and bonded to blend with the surrounding tooth. It is usually completed in a single appointment and is one of the most routine restorative procedures in dentistry.

Aspen Dental is a dental practice on Gateway Street in Springfield, Oregon. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, not just the crown — a small titanium post is placed in the jaw bone and, once it has integrated over a period of months, a replacement tooth is attached to it. It is generally the most durable option for a single missing tooth or several.

A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.

Cosmetic dentistry covers treatment aimed primarily at appearance — whitening, veneers, bonding, and reshaping among the more common options — for patients who are less concerned with a problem that hurts than with how their smile looks day to day. The right combination depends on what specifically you would like to change.

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.

Emergency dental care covers sudden problems that will not wait for a routine appointment — severe pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, swelling, or a lost filling that leaves a tooth exposed. Same-day or urgent appointments are the point of an emergency service, rather than the standard multi-week booking window.

A crown covers an entire damaged tooth — used when too much structure is missing for a filling to hold reliably, whether from a large fracture, extensive decay, or after root canal treatment. It restores both the shape and the biting strength of the tooth underneath.

Children / Pediatric Dentistry isn't listed directly on profile, but this Springfield clinic is documented for cosmetic dentistry across 1 services.

Read full description

Dr. Christopher A. Fauver, DDS practices general dentistry at 2 Chester Road in Springfield, Vermont — a practitioner-led dental practice in one of the larger towns in Windsor County in southeastern Vermont. Springfield is a town of approximately 9,000 residents in the Connecticut River Valley, situated at the confluence of the Black and Connecticut Rivers and historically known as a center of machine tool manufacturing — the precision machine tool industry that flourished here from the late 19th through mid-20th century gave Springfield the nickname "Precision Valley" and shaped its working-class industrial identity. Chester Road connects Springfield to the neighboring Town of Chester to the north, passing through the Vermont countryside between the two communities. Springfield serves as a regional commercial and service hub for the surrounding rural Windsor County townships.

Dr. Fauver provides general dental care for adults and families in Springfield and the surrounding rural Vermont communities of Windsor County. Core services include comprehensive oral examinations, professional dental cleanings, dental radiographs, and restorative procedures — fillings and crowns — for patients maintaining their oral health in a rural regional center with limited specialist dental access. A named solo practitioner in a town like Springfield provides the long-term provider relationship and personal familiarity that rural patients particularly value, given the limited dental options available in the surrounding rural townships of Andover, Weathersfield, Chester, and Rockingham. The "Fauver" name is distinctive in the Vermont dental market, and the Chester Road location gives the practice good accessibility from the Route 11 and Route 106 corridors serving the surrounding countryside.

Springfield's role as a Windsor County service hub means Dr. Fauver's practice draws from a catchment considerably wider than the town's own population of 9,000, extending to the dispersed rural households of the surrounding townships who depend on Springfield-area providers for services unavailable in their own communities. Specialist dental needs — orthodontics, periodontics, oral surgery — require travel to Bellows Falls, White River Junction, or Brattleboro for Windsor County patients.

For Springfield and rural Windsor County Vermont residents seeking general dental care from a named solo practitioner on Chester Road, Dr. Christopher A. Fauver, DDS provides community dental services in this historic Connecticut River Valley mill town.

One of the most common reasons why people suffer from dental phobia is because they are embarrassed about the state of their teeth. Many people fear visiting the dentist because they cannot face the thought of hearing the diagnosis: especially if that diagnosis is very likely to be lengthy, involve lots of painful treatment and, ultimately, be expensive. The problem for many of these people is that unhealthy teeth are harder to look after. They are likely to deteriorate even further and they may make eating and chewing more difficult. The longer they avoid the dentist, the harder it becomes to salvage their existing teeth.

More about children / pediatric dentistry at this clinic

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed.

How to Choose a Dentist in Springfield (IL)

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 2, 2026Independently reviewed
