Amalgam (silver) fillings used to be widely used for their durability, but today they are increasingly being replaced by aesthetic, white materials.
Composite fillings are more natural-looking, chemically bond to the tooth and allow more precise restoration of the damaged area.
Replacement is recommended when the old filling is damaged, leaking or if you want a more aesthetic look.
The procedure is safe and supervised - we remove the amalgam, clean the tooth and restore it with a material that blends in with the natural structure.
