5 Advantages
Dental amalgam has been used for many decades and is a silver coloured metal alloy that contains mercury. Over the past few years newer and far more advanced filling materials have been developed and which are entirely metal-free. These materials include tooth coloured composite resin and beautiful tooth coloured porcelains. Dr Poulos much prefers to use these types of fillings which provide superior cosmetic results and they are healthier for your teeth.
What Are the Advantages of Amalgam-Free Dentistry?
Amalgam-free dentistry utilises the very latest tooth coloured filling materials to restore teeth to their full strength and structure. Once in place, these fillings are virtually invisible and they also mend teeth in a way that is highly biocompatible. Another problem with amalgam is that the metal can flex when it comes into contact with hot or cold or when put under pressure, an effect that can eventually weaken the tooth by creating micro fractures. This problem is eliminated when using amalgam-free dentistry.

Risks and Recovery
Dental fillings are a routine way to restore teeth affected by decay or damage, but they come with some risks and recovery considerations.
Possible risks include:
- Temporary sensitivity to hot, cold or pressure after placement
- Gum irritation near the treated tooth
- Risk of filling fracture or wear over time
- Rare chance of needing further treatment, such as a crown or root canal, if the tooth is more compromised than expected
Recovery considerations:
- Most patients return to normal activities immediately
- Mild sensitivity usually settles within a few days
- Avoiding very hard or sticky foods can help protect new fillings
- Regular check-ups support long-term success of the restoration
