What is the difference between a dental resin filling and a dental composite filling?

In the strictest sense of the term, Dental Resin fillings will refer solely to the methacrylate component of the filling material (eg. Bis Phenol GMA). However, it is rare to see an entire filling composed entirely of the unfilled resin material. In practical terms, almost all resin fillings are in fact composite fillings (sometimes called composite resin or resin composite fillings). These fillings are composed of filler particles to provide color, fluoresence, and wear resistance suspended in a resin matrix. Hence, from a technical view point, resin fillings will be composed of only resin (normally methacrylate or similar), while a composite filling will be composite of filler particles, suspended in a resin matrix. In practical terms, there will really be no difference. When your doctor places a resin filling, or composite filling, you will be getting a composite resin filling.

What does the dentist do to you when you have to get your teeth drilled?

They will give you anesthetics, like a shot. That will make it so you don't feel anything. Then, they will drill the decay out of the tooth/teeth, then fill it with a amalgam or composite filling. Composite is tooth colored, amalgam is the typical silver looking filling.

Why dental insurance don't cover fillings on molars?

I suspect that your dental insurance does cover fillings on molars, but only from amalgam material (silver fillings) not composite material (white fillings). Why? Molars bear the heaviest chewing workload in the mouth and amalgam is more durable than composite. Also amalgam is usually less expensive. Usually an insurer will apply a provision called LEAT--Least Expensive Alternative Treatment--to the payment of a composite filling that is placed on a molar or other tooth where the coverage is for amalgam fillings. This means that they will pay as if the composite filling was an amalgam one. Here is an example. Say an amalgam two surface filling on a molar costs $150 but a two surface composite filling costs $220. And say your insurance pays 80% of the cost. $120 is 80% of $150, so your insurance would cover $120 and you would be left to pay $100 (the difference between the payment and the $220 for choosing a composite filling.)

Why is it problematic to change large old amalgam fillings to composite fillings?

It is problematic to change old large amalgam fillings to composite fillings because there may not be enough tooth structure left to support the new filling. If this is the case, the tooth will probably fracture soon after the new filling is placed. A better, safer alternative in this situation would be to place a porcelain crown instead of a filling.
