Amalgam Fillings

If your teeth get damaged due to an accident or injury or if you have a cavity, we may recommend a filling. At Gresel Dental Hayward, we specialize in silver amalgam fillings, also known as silver fillings. Silver amalgam fillings are made of liquid elemental mercury and a powered alloy of silver, copper, and tin.  These fillings are placed into the tooth to fill any cavities or cracks on the tooth’s surface. 

Silver fillings are one of the least expensive kinds of fillings, but are stronger than many other types of fillings and are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. 

We recommend silver fillings for the following conditions:

  • Cracked teeth
  • Chipped or damaged teeth due to injury or accident
  • Cavities
  • Worn down teeth
  • Tooth decay 

We are dedicated to providing you with the best dental care and service possible to ensure your oral hygiene and smile are the best they can be.
