My dentists wants me to pay $190 for "Resin Composite One Suri" after a filling is done?

And another on the tooth next to it. They say it isn't covered by my insurance and it isn't optional. They won't do the filling without it. Is this a scam, rip off or essential dental treatment? It's some kind of coating on the tooth, sealant?
--------------------
You are paying $190 for a one surface tooth coloured filling. Some insurance companies will only pay for the silver coloured (amalgam) fillings, not the white (composite resin) ones. It would be a good idea to check with your insurance company to see exactly what they cover before you have any more dental treatment.
