- Removes decay conservatively. We take only what needs to come out.
Composite vs. amalgam (silver) fillings
Composite resin fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, which means less healthy tooth needs to be removed to place them compared to amalgam, and they are shade-matched to blend in naturally rather than showing as a dark or metallic spot.
Amalgam fillings, the traditional silver-colored option, are highly durable and have a decades-long track record, and may still be recommended in certain back-tooth situations with heavy chewing force, but they require removing more tooth structure to create a mechanical hold and do not bond to the tooth the way composite does. Most patients today choose composite for its appearance and conservative approach to tooth structure; we will let you know if your specific case has a reason to consider amalgam instead.
