Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a 3M composite dental filling cost in Beijing?
Our genuine 3M™ P60/Z350 composite filling in Beijing is $139 per tooth, paid online. Not included: root canal treatment, crowns, or other treatment beyond the filling itself (see the FAQ on deeper cavities). If the dentist finds you need something else, it is priced separately and you decide whether to go ahead. Same-day treatment for tourists, completed in approximately 60 minutes per filling. Materials are imported authentic American-made resin.
Is getting a dental filling in China safe and high-quality?
A licensed dentist at a Taikang Bybo Dental clinic in Beijing places the filling using 3M™ Filtek P60/Z350 composite resin, a widely used restorative material.
What does the 3M composite filling procedure include?
Four steps: (1) Cavity preparation removing decayed tissue, (2) Etching and bonding with 3M high-strength adhesives, (3) Layered filling with 3M P60 resin to mimic natural tooth structure, (4) Precision light curing with high-intensity medical light for permanent hardness.
Are the dentists doing the filling licensed specialists?
Yes. Fillings are done by a licensed dentist at a Taikang Bybo Dental (泰康拜博口腔) clinic, part of the Taikang group's dental network.
Will the dentist explain the procedure in English?
Clinic staff may speak only basic English. Booking is handled in English; an English-speaking companion at the clinic can be added for $100 per half day.
How long does a same-day dental filling take?
Approximately 60 minutes per filling — perfect for tourists. The 3M layered curing process and adhesive bonding require careful timing. Same-day service is typically available with a confirmed booking. Most patients can eat normally within 1-2 hours.
Are 3M composite fillings suitable for back molars and chewing pressure?
Yes. 3M™ P60 is specifically engineered for posterior (back) molars where chewing forces are highest. Composite fillings are durable for everyday chewing, although studies show they tend to need replacing somewhat sooner than amalgam (silver) fillings; the dentist will advise on the best option for a large cavity.
What if my cavity is deeper than expected — will I need a root canal?
The intake exam (and digital X-ray if needed) determines depth before bonding. If the cavity is too deep, the dentist will discuss whether a pulp cap, indirect filling, or root canal is needed. If you need a root canal, we send you a written quote before any further treatment.
Can I get a dental filling on a 240-hour visa-free transit in Beijing?
Only if both your passport and your route qualify. The 240-hour visa-free transit is open to ordinary passport holders from 57 countries, including the US and the UK, and only when you are travelling on to a third country or region with a confirmed onward ticket; flying back to the country you came from does not qualify. You enter through a designated port and stay within the permitted areas. Medical treatment is not among the activities listed for China's 240-hour visa-free transit; check the visa route for your passport in our China visa guide. Citizens of some countries can visit China visa-free for up to 30 days for business, tourism, family visits, exchanges or transit. Medical treatment is not on that list, so check the right entry route for your passport with the Chinese embassy or consulate before you book. We recommend booking at least 48 hours ahead to confirm your time slot. Multiple fillings can usually be done same-day.
Will the filling match my natural tooth color?
Yes. 3M™ P60/Z350 composite is renowned for 'true-to-life' aesthetics — the dentist matches the shade to your existing teeth using a professional shade guide. Layered filling technique creates natural-looking depth and translucency, undetectable in normal speech.
