Restoring Teeth, Protecting Smiles
When decay damages a tooth, a dental filling restores its strength, function, and appearance. At our clinic, we offer different types of fillings to suit your needs, including composite (tooth-colored), amalgam (traditional metal), and silver-based restorations.
Composite (Tooth-Colored) Fillings
-
Made of resin material that blends naturally with your teeth.
-
Ideal for front teeth or visible areas.
-
Bonds directly to the tooth, preserving more natural structure.
-
Strong and aesthetic—great for patients who want a natural look.
Amalgam Fillings
-
Traditional mixture of metals including silver, mercury, tin, and copper.
-
Known for durability—lasts many years, especially in back teeth.
-
Cost-effective option compared to newer materials.
-
Dark silver appearance makes them more visible.
Silver Fillings (Metal-Based Alternatives)
-
Often referred to interchangeably with amalgam.
-
Extremely strong and long-lasting under heavy chewing forces.
-
Less aesthetic, but reliable for molars and large cavities.
Which Filling is Right for You?
-
Composite: Best for natural look and small-to-medium cavities.
-
Amalgam/Silver: Best for large cavities in back teeth where strength matters most.

Your dentist will recommend the right option based on cavity size, tooth position, durability needs, and personal preference.
