Amalgam Fillings

Durable and Affordable—Still a Viable Option

While we favor modern materials, we understand that amalgam (silver) fillings remain a proven, cost-effective solution for many patients—especially for molars and areas under heavy chewing stress.

FDA and ADA Guidelines:
Amalgam is considered safe for patients over age 6 and has a 150-year track record of durability.

When to Choose Amalgam Over Composite:

• For molars where maximum durability is needed
• For patients seeking a more affordable solution
