Amalgam Fillings

An amalgam filling is used to patch-up a tooth that is damaged​by decay, cracks, fractures, etc. and the decayed or affected 
portion of the tooth will most probably be removed and then
occupied with a silver filling.

There are many types of filling ingredients obtainable, each 
with their own benefits and drawbacks. You can discuss the
best options for restoring your teeth with our dentist to obtain
the best result. Amalgam fillings, along with composite that is 
a tooth colored fillings, are the most widely used options. An
amalgam filling is more normally used in the back teeth and 
the color is not usually as aesthetic as a composite filling
material. As with most dental repairs, amalgam fillings are
not lasting options and may someday needs to be replaced. 
They are very long-lasting, and will function many years, 
giving you a long-term smile. If you are thinking of amalgam fillings give our dentist in Elmhurst, Queens a call so that
we can discuss the many dental options available that will
fit your needs

​Why  choose Amalgam fillings:
  • For Cracked or broken teeth
  • For Decayed teeth
  • For Worn teeth
What are the steps to get amalgam teeth? 
Amalgam fillings are typically placed in one appointment with 
your dentist. Since the tooth is numb, your dentist will eliminate
decay as essential. The space will then be carefully washed and
cautiously equipped before the new filling is located. If the 
deterioration was near the nerve of the tooth, a special
medicine will be applied for added protection. The amalgam
filling will then be precisely placed, shaped, and polished, 
reinstating your tooth to its original shape and purpose.

​It is normal to experience sensitivity to hot and cold 
when amalgam fillings are first placed, though this will
diminish shortly after your tooth adapts to the new
filling. You will be given post-care directives at the
conclusion of your treatment. Good oral practices,
eating habits, and steady dental visits will aid in 
​the life of your new dental fillings. For comprehensive dental care, our dentist in Elmhurst will provide that.
Amalgam is generally an alloy used for dental fillings
that comprises of about 50% mercury, 22 to 32%
silver, around 14% tin, 8% copper and other trace
metals.
