Each day at our office, we encounter teeth affected by fractures, cracks, and decay caused by amalgam fillings. Over the years, these fillings expand and contract with temperature fluctuations, leading to leaks and decay beneath the metal that was meant to protect your teeth. During your visit, we will likely take intraoral photos to illustrate the damage caused by your old fillings and recommend replacing them with a white composite filling or crown. This ensures a long-lasting solution and minimizes the risk of further harm to natural tooth.
