Gold Fillings

Gold Fillings

Gold has been used as a filling material in teeth since around 3000BC and it is still one of the best materials available. It requires a more complicated technique, involving the use of impressions and the services of a dental technician. This means that it is a lot more expensive than amalgam or composite; up to four times the cost.

Gold is still used today but most people prefer tooth coloured alternatives including ceramic fillings.
