Cosmetic Dental Fillings
 The
Dental Filling Choices: Amalgam and Composite
Safety and Appearance: In addition to having a more pleasing and
natural tooth-like appearance, composite fillings have the potential
advantage of not containing mercury or other metals that may
contribute to sensitivity or toxicity. Mercury toxicity from amalgam
fillings is a controversial subject, though no research to date has
been able to show any risks of having mercury as a component of
amalgam dental fillings. However, many patients do have metal
sensitivities and some have reported a metal taste after the
placement of amalgam fillings.
Durability: Composite fillings previously were not as durable as
amalgams. However, dental manufacturers have made great strides in
improving the strength of composite resin materials, to the effect
that composite fillings now have the potential to be used for all
teeth, including molars. Furthermore, composite materials often
require less tooth preparation and may not weaken the affected tooth
as much as amalgam fillings, which often require more extensive
tooth preparation. However, amalgam fillings do have a long-term
track record and may last longer than composite fillings. |
