Composite fillings
Quesada Dental prefers to place dental white fillings (composite fillings)
Quesada Dental prefers to place dental white fillings (composite fillings) rather than grey or black fillings (amalgam fillings), due to their better appearance. Metal (mercury) amalgam fillings can be easily and safely replaced by white fillings.
Some people have health concerns about dental amalgam, which are not generally accepted by the vast majority of the dental profession, while other people just don't like how they look. Grey fillings can last for years but can also in time expand and eventually crack the surrounding tooth.

Metal fillings can be simply and inexpensively replaced with a like - for - like white filling in a single visit
Another issue is that these amalgam fillings can discolour the tooth it is placed in, to the point that not even teeth whitening, or changing the filling will solve the problem.
For all these reasons we do not place amalgam fillings. Small to medium sized metal fillings can be simply and inexpensively replaced with a like - for - like white filling in a single visit.
Larger fillings are sometimes replaced with an inlay or an onlay, or a crown, which are laboratory made bespoke restorations. These take two visits to complete.
