Composite filling codes vary based on tooth type and number of surfaces. The CDT code on your EOB should match the actual restoration billed.
There is no single universal price. Your EOB can show the provider charge, the plan's allowed amount, the amount insurance paid, and the portion assigned to you.
What to check on your EOB
- • Check the tooth number and surface count.
- • Look for an alternate amalgam benefit.
- • Compare the office charge with the allowed amount.
- • Confirm whether multiple fillings were billed on the same tooth.
Questions to ask the dental office
- • How many surfaces were restored?
- • Did insurance pay an alternate material benefit?
- • Does the EOB code match the filling I received?

FAQs
What dental code is commonly associated with dental filling?
A commonly associated code is D2392, though the exact CDT code depends on the service performed.
Should I compare the dental office charge or the insurance allowed amount?
For an in-network claim, the allowed or negotiated amount on the EOB is usually the more useful starting point for understanding what the plan recognized before deductible, coinsurance, copay, and other benefit rules.
What if the EOB and dental bill do not match?
Ask the dental office to reconcile the statement to the EOB before paying a disputed balance. Confirm that contractual adjustments, plan payment, deductible, coinsurance, and any denial reason were applied correctly.
