Why composite, not amalgam

Traditional silver (amalgam) fillings worked for decades but have clear downsides: visible silver color, bulkier preparation that removes more tooth, and mercury content that many patients prefer to avoid. Modern composite resin fillings match the tooth's natural color, bond directly to tooth structure (so less tooth has to be removed), and when placed well, last just as long.
