Dental fillings are among the most common treatments to restore your teeth and your smile.
The filling replaces the portion of the tooth that has been damaged due to cracks or decay.
One option to restore the integrity of the tooth is silver amalgam filling.
Amalgam has been used successfully for more than 100 years. Commonly referred to as silver filling, amalgam is a mixture of mercury, tin, copper and silver.
Because of its durability, resistance to wear and affordability, silver fillings are still a great choice for many patients.
If your tooth requires treatment with a dental filling, your dentist will determine which type of filling is best for you.
Generally, amalgam fillings are particularly useful for restoring the teeth in the back of the mouth because this part is where the chewing load is greatest.
In addition, they are also useful for deep fillings below the gum line.
Amalgam fillings are also considered as biocompatible, which means they are well tolerated by patients, and involves only rare incidence of an allergic response.
To know more about amalgam fillings, visit your Glen Waverley Dentist at Ek Dental Surgery. By performing a comprehensive evaluation of your case, your dentist can recommend which dental filling best suits your needs and lifestyle. Silver amalgam fillings are durable, easy-to-use, highly resistant to wear and a more inexpensive option than other types of fillings. Moreover, it’s one of the best treatments to restore the strength and functionality of your teeth.

Dr. Lydia is our best choice after compared with other dentists, especially on children's dental care. She is very patient and very professional on children's noncooperation. She explained the treatment clearly and given us good advice. She is always gentle when checked teeth. She used a lot of strategies to help my son for relaxing and be comfortable while filling a tooth. My son was very resistant to see dentist because he had a bad experience in another clinics before, but Dr. Lydia was very patient and given my son a lot encouragement. I highly recommended Dr. Lydia Vanessa Joy Grecia2021-04-09 Great team. Highly recommended! Honey Glaze Rosalyn2021-03-22 Fantastic and caring dental team. Highly Recommended!
