My grandfather had gold fillings , are those ever still used?

This may offend some in the holistic space but gold is the absolute best functioning material that I have ever seen and place in a patients mouth. When a patient can afford and the conditions necessitate, it is my preferred treatment option.

I have been in dentistry since the 80s (worked with my dad as a child) and practicing dentist since 2000. There is no material that we currently have available that is better than gold for durability, longevity, kindness to the tissue and hardness similar to tooth structure.
