Amalgam Filling
At J A Aneja Multispeciality Dental Centre, we offer Amalgam Fillings, a time-tested and cost-effective solution for treating dental cavities. Amalgam fillings, also known as silver fillings, have been widely used in dentistry for over a century due to their strength, durability, and affordability.
Amalgam is a blend of metals, including silver, mercury, tin, and copper, which form a strong and long-lasting filling material. It is commonly used for restoring decayed teeth, especially in the back molars, where chewing pressure is high.

- Long-Lasting : Can last up to 10-15 years with proper care.
- Cost-Effective : More affordable compared to other filling materials.
- Quick and Efficient : BThe placement procedure is simple and requires minimal chair time.
Who Should Consider Amalgam Fillings?

- Those who need a strong and long-lasting solution for tooth decay.
