Best filling: The best filling would be the one that requires the least removal of tooth structure, has similar physical properties to tooth, supports and strengthens the tooth rather than weakening it, lasts the longest, and looks the best. Personally, i feel tooth colored bonded composite fillings by a skilled dentist fulfill these attributes. Not the answer you probably expected. Amalgam fillings are safe.

Individual needs: From the older silver fillings, gold to the newer tooth-colored porcelain or composite fillings, there are many materials your Dentist can use to repair a tooth. Your Dentist will recommend the best filling type for your individual needs.

No Filling at all: Early diagnosis of dental decay (caries) can allow for interventions without the need for traditional fillings, that is, non surgical treatment. Through the use of advanced digital x rays, laser fluorescence, high magnification, and risk assessments early cavities can be reversed.
