Amalgam in 2024

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone here is still getting amalgam or being offered the option in 2024. Thanks

My Dentist stopped using amalgam several years ago. Now he uses this tooth colored off white paste stuff that he cures in place with a UV light wand. It is a whole lot faster, and it looks just like the original tooth.

I switched from Amalgam to Goldinlays

This was my first expirience with beeing a patient

I had a cavity back around 2016 IIRC. Amalgam was an option but I went with the white acrylic instead. Not sure if it is even an option from my dentist now.

My dentist switched to zirconium several years ago.

I have had a few amalgam fillings over the last couple of years (replacing composite fillings!) But I had to ask for them specifically. The dentist was somewhat suprised at my choice but drilled and filled with silver.
