You can go with rmgic filling. That will be more biocompatible. Gold fillings can also be done as per your wish but cost will be high. You can visit my clinic for the same

1) How did you get to know about composites not being accepted by your tooth ? As it is highly unlikely
2) gold foil restorations are nearly impossible to do considering it’s difficult to procure the Material.. how ever gold crowns or inlays or on lays can be done ..
cost is very high up at this point of time as it is charged based on weight ..

Hi,
What do you mean by saying your tooth is not accepting composite? What is the problem caused post the filling. Gold foil fillings are not always possible. There are indications and contraindications. Share pictures.

If your tooth is not accepting composite better seek treatment from an experienced endodontist!
For gold foil restorations, only a very few institutional set up may offer services but the cost is going to be high.
