In the days when there was no alternative, amalgam or "silver" fillings were accepted and did an outstanding job.
Where they have never performed well is in how they look.
Our teeth are shades of white, so why would we choose to have shades of grey?
Not only does an amalgam stand out, but it can discolour the whole tooth behind the enamel.
Luckily these days there is an alternative: white composite resin that matches your tooth colour exactly.
This material is a little more expensive than amalgam but the benefit retaining the appearance of your natural teeth is priceless.

Amalgam fillings are a type of dental restoration that can be used to fill a cavity (hole) in your tooth/teeth.
They used to be the go to material used in everyday dentistry for filling teeth.
In today's modern dentistry amalgam fillings are used less and less and now the common type of filling we use is a white composite material.
This is a more flexible material and it also more aesthetically pleasing as it blends in with your natural teeth color.
These type of fillings do still play a role in your dental care.

Inlays and onlays are two types of restorations that your dentist can suggest if you have a cavity in your tooth that needs to be filled.
An inlay is a small filling that fits into the biting surface of a tooth while an onlay covers a larger area of the tooth and is better suited to bigger cavities.
For many years, gold has been used to make inlays and onlays because it is a hard material and lasts for a long time.
Nowadays, tooth-coloured porcelain is also used and gives the restored tooth a more natural look, which many patients prefer.
