Dental caries, Filling or restorative procedures
For a long time, there was one option for tooth fillings and that was Amalgam. Amalgam is still widely used today, but there are other options as well. The components of Amalgam are elemental metals, and may include components of mercury, silver, tin, copper, and others. You may know Amalgam fillings as “silver fillings”. Tooth decay can advance rapidly and you want to have cavities filled quickly. As a treatment for cavities, Amalgam has been deemed safe by some organizations like the FDA and other as it is thought that the other metals used in the compound stabilize the mercury and reduce risks.

What is Composite Fillings?
Composite is a tooth-colored material made of glass or quartz and resin. These fillings are durable and provide a more natural appearance than do amalgam fillings. Tooth color fillings from composite material may cost a bit more than an amalgam filling, but depending on the surface where the filling is needed, insurance may cover a portion of the treatment.
A custom restoration is made from a special mold of your tooth. Often referred to as an inlay or an only, this type of custom restoration is similar to a crown, as it covers a larger portion of the tooth. But it is also still in the filling category, as it does not completely cover. These restorative fillings are strong and may last for several years. Because they match the color of your natural teeth, you never show that you have a filling.
