    Amalgam fillings with contain Mercury usually last around 10-15 years in my experience. This does very. Normally in later years they may leak or a crack may appear requiring the tooth to be filled again. Now white fillings are nicer but dont last as long and have a tendency to leak and need replaced sooner.

    The filling itself usually lasts a long time, but the tooth structure around the filling can decay or break over time. Smaller fillings last longer than large ones.
