What is my coverage for resin fillings on posterior teeth (also called composite, plastic or, white fillings)?
Virtually all of Northeast Delta Dental plans cover resin (white) fillings on the teeth where their cosmetic advantages are most important: the six anterior (front) teeth. Resin fillings in posterior teeth (white fillings in back) are optional. If performed, the patient is responsible for any additional fee. We will pay an allowance equal to an amalgam restoration.
