What alloy element is used for tooth fillings?
The element used in expensive dental fillings is Au, or gold.Gold is used because it is inert and will not react with body fluids or cause an adverse reaction. Fillings can be either inlays or onlays. Inlays are smaller than onlays and are placed on the biting surface. Onlays are used when a larger surface of the tooth is missing.
How do fillings work?
Fillings work by replacing decayed or damaged tooth structure with a material like amalgam or composite resin. The material is shaped to match the natural tooth structure and helps to restore the tooth's function and prevent further decay. Fillings can also help to strengthen the tooth and prevent sensitivity or pain.

Why are silver tooth fillings toxic to your bodies?
Silver tooth fillings, or amalgams, are a mixture of mercury and an alloy of silver, tin, copper, and zinc. Mercury usually takes up about 50% of this mixture, thus making it toxic. There are safer alternatives, such as gold or porcelain, but these are weaker and more expensive than the conventional amalgams, so mercury is still favoured.

Why is it problematic to change large old amalgam fillings to composite fillings?
It is problematic to change old large amalgam fillings to composite fillings because there may not be enough tooth structure left to support the new filling. If this is the case, the tooth will probably fracture soon after the new filling is placed. A better, safer alternative in this situation would be to place a porcelain crown instead of a filling.
