I had my teeth filled...

Hello,

Could you correct these sentences?

I had to fill my teeth.

I had to get my teeth filled.

I had to have my teeth filled.

I got my teeth filled.

I had my teeth filled.

Is there any difference between 'I had my teeth filled' and 'I have my teeth filled'?

And between 'I got my teeth filled' 'I had my teeth filled' too if they are correct.

I also wanted to ask about the meaning of 'got' in this sentence (I got my teeth filled) and 'had' (in this sentence- I had my teeth filled). What do they exactly mean?

Do 'to get' and 'to have' have the same meaning in these sentences too?
