Metal/Amalgam Filling Replacement

Metal/Amalgam Filling Replacement in Smithfield, NC

Dental amalgam fillings, composed of metals like silver and mercury, were once a common treatment for cavities. While durable, they can:

  • Leak: Allowing bacteria to enter and potentially cause further decay.
  • Fracture: Weakening the tooth structure.
  • Cause cosmetic concerns: Due to their dark appearance.

If you have concerns about your existing amalgam fillings, schedule a consultation with our experienced dentist. We'll carefully evaluate your individual needs and discuss the best options for your oral health.

Modern alternatives to amalgam fillings include:

  • Tooth-colored fillings: These are aesthetically pleasing and offer excellent durability.
  • Inlays and onlays: Stronger than fillings, these restorations are ideal for larger cavities.
