| Most adults have had traditional amalgam fillings which are the (silver) or gold filling type of tooth restoration. Some silver fillings were what have been called mercury fillings, as some amalgam fillings contained mercury. Metal types filling were effective, but have been known to cause several issues. One being to blacken in color over time and the other is causing the tooth itself to crack due to hot an cold expansion issues.
Composite resin dental fillings were developed as an much improved alternative to traditional metal tooth fillings. These tooth fillings are tinted to look like a natural tooth and are made of a plastic dental resin.
