The silver amalgam filling serves as a dental solution to address decay, cracks, fractures, and other tooth imperfections. With a history spanning over 150 years, this filling material repairs affected areas within the tooth.

Here's an overview of the Amalgam Filling process:

  • Decay Removal: The dentist begins by carefully removing decay from the tooth.
  • Shaping the Cavity: The tooth cavity is shaped to accommodate the placement of the amalgam filling.
  • Filling Placement: Softened amalgam putty is placed into the prepared cavity.
  • Solidification: The putty swiftly solidifies, forming a durable filling.

Benefits of Amalgam Fillings:

  • Durability: They are long-lasting and resilient.
  • Strength: Less prone to breakage compared to other filling types.
  • Cost-Effective: Among the most economical filling materials available.

Common Uses:

  • Cracked or Damaged Teeth: Addressing structural issues in teeth.
  • Decayed Teeth: Repairing areas affected by decay.
  • Worn Teeth: Providing support and restoration for worn-down teeth.
