The standard filling material for many years has been an
amalgam of metals, mostly silver-mercury. Metal is not the
best material to bond tightly to the natural structure of
teeth, so the filling would often loosen and allow decay to
set in under the restoration. We use only modern composite
resin fillings that bond very tightly to a natural tooth to
virtually eliminate the chance of decay setting in. They add
strength to the tooth structure for chewing all types of
foods. The shade of the filling can be made to match the
tooth, so the filling is no longer noticeable like it is for
amalgam fillings.Russell E. Graham, DMD
