    Prices sourced from truedentalcosts.com's Boston, MA-specific estimator pages for dental exam & X-rays ($138-$414), tooth filling overall ($138-$690), dental crown ($1,380-$4,830), root canal treatment ($966-$2,484), and dental sealants ($41-$103); Boston Consumers' Checkbook (checkbook.org) for bitewing X-rays ($62-$117 for four films, a real Boston-area price-shopping survey); and toothcostguide.com for silver diamine fluoride application ($25-$75/tooth) and fluoride varnish ($20-$50, spanning its child $20-$40 and adult $25-$50 tiers). The 1-surface and 2+-surface composite filling rows split truedentalcosts.com's single verified $138-$690 Boston filling range into a lower portion (simpler, 1-surface fillings) and upper portion (larger, multi-surface fillings) -- this is a disclosed split of one verified range, not two independently-sourced figures. Pulp cap (direct or indirect) had no verifiable published figure found in this research session, so that row is an honest national-norm estimate, flagged rather than invented. Ranges reflect Boston, Massachusetts pricing as of 2026 in USD; Boston is characterized by these sources as a higher-cost dental market versus national averages. Dental insurance typically covers preventive items (sealants, fluoride, X-rays) at 80-100% and restorative fillings/crowns at 50-80%. Always obtain multiple quotes from local providers.

    How to Choose a Dentist in Boston

    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?
