Amalgam Fillings | Central City Dentistry, Concord, NH

What are Amalgam Fillings?

Amalgam fillings are a time-tested and effective solution for treating cavities, especially in the back teeth where durability is essential. Composed of a mix of metals, including silver, mercury, tin, and copper, amalgam fillings provide a strong and long-lasting solution for repairing decayed teeth. At Central City Dentistry, we offer amalgam fillings as a dependable choice for patients needing a resilient option for cavity treatment.

Benefits of Amalgam Fillings

Amalgam fillings provide several advantages for patients seeking a reliable dental restoration

Long-Lasting Durability

Known for their strength, amalgam fillings can withstand the heavy chewing pressure of molars.

Cost-Effective Solution

Amalgam fillings are a budget-friendly choice that doesn’t compromise on effectiveness.

Strength for Back Teeth

Ideal for back teeth where visible appearance isn’t a concern, providing robust support against further decay.

Our team is skilled in applying amalgam fillings to ensure a secure and lasting fit.

What to Expect During the Filling Procedure

The amalgam filling process is straightforward and can be completed in a single appointment:

Preparation

We start by numbing the area and carefully removing the decayed portion of the tooth.

Application of Amalgam Material

The amalgam filling material is packed into the cavity and shaped to fit the contours of your tooth.

Final Adjustments

Once the filling hardens, we adjust and polish it to ensure a comfortable and functional fit.

Our goal is to provide a smooth and efficient process, leaving you with a strengthened, restored tooth.

Composite vs. Amalgam Fillings

While both composite and amalgam fillings are effective for treating cavities, each has unique advantages:

Durability

Amalgam fillings are more durable for high-pressure areas, such as molars, making them an excellent choice for back teeth.

Cost-Effectiveness

Amalgam fillings are generally more affordable than composite fillings, providing a reliable option for those on a budget.

At Central City Dentistry, we offer both options and can help you choose the best filling type based on your needs and preferences.
