Silver Fillings
Dental amalgam fillings, also known as “silver” fillings, are a common way to repair teeth damaged by decay to restore them to their original strength and function. Silver fillings are composed of several metals, primarily mercury, silver, copper and tin. They are less expensive than other filling materials and are long lasting. However, they are more noticeable in your mouth because of their metallic colour and may not appeal to people wanting a natural look.
