At The Dental Spa, we have used amalgam fillings for decades to fill cavities in teeth. They are made of a mixture of metals that harden into a solid material that is molded to fit the shape of the cavity. Amalgam fillings are durable and long-lasting, making them a popular choice for many patients.
