Silver Amalgam Fillings at Forest House Dental in Leicester

Dental amalgam is the traditional silver-coloured filling we are all familiar with.

Whilst composite (tooth coloured) fillings are becoming more popular, amalgam fillings represent the most durable and long-lasting form of filling available (apart from gold fillings which are more expensive.)

Amalgam fillings are the only type of filling provided through the NHS (if you meet the criteria under the NHS service) – composite fillings are considered to be ‘cosmetic’ and therefore must be paid for.
