Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam

If conditions in the mouth are favourable for making a white filling, meaning the cavity does not extend below the gum margin and we can use moisture isolation (rubber dam), then the manufacture and longevity of a white filling are not questionable. If, during the procedure, for various reasons we are unable to prepare a well-dried field, it is better to make an amalgam filling, because amalgam sets very successfully even in moisture. Loss of white fillings is mainly based on unsuccessful placement. Amalgam fillings have greater fracture strength, their toxicity is negligible, although it is true that they are not aesthetic.
I would leave the choice of filling to the dentist who will make it.

We look forward to your visit.
