Silver amalgam was initially used by dentists to fill in cavities in teeth. However, with the latest developments in the field of dentistry, a variety of options that are both excellent in form and functionality are now obtainable – composite resins or better known as tooth-colored materials. When dealing with small cavities, porcelain inlays and onlays can now be completed with just one visit to the dentist. Strengthening of the teeth is done by Bonding after non-mercury containing composite fillings are being filled into the cavities. It is advisable that patients opt for composite fillings to replace their metallic fillings before they experience any unwarranted effects from the amalgam.
