Dear Sir/Madam!
I am 20 years old and my teeth are already very damaged despite regular brushing and all preventive measures. So far I have had gangrene treated in 2 teeth. I now have a new dentist who is treating gangrene in a lower tooth 6, and he said that he would open all the teeth in which I have fillings and try to save them. However, he strongly recommends ceramic fillings because, according to him, this would give the best chance of saving my teeth. I would like to know whether these fillings are really better and what their advantages are.

Dear Sir/Madam!
Your dentist was probably referring to ceramic inlays, which, like crowns, are made by a dental technician. A filling can be amalgam or composite (plastic or white). Inlays are certainly more durable, aesthetic ... and of course more expensive.
Have a nice day!
