Replacing silver fillings

Silver, or amalgam, fillings are made with mercury, silver, tin and copper. In some cases, other metals may be included in amalgam fillings, too. A great deal of research has examined these fillings and found them to be an effective, long-lasting treatment for dental decay.

We often have patients ask us about options for replacing their old silver fillings for a more discreet option. Whilst this is possible and will renew your smile to better blend and dental work with your natural teeth, its not essential unless there is a concern about the structure of the original tooth.

Old silver fillings can deteriorate over time, leaving your teeth vulnerable to decay or tooth cracks. Should this occur, your Castle Park Dental Care dentist will usually recommend replacing old silver fillings with a durable, more aesthetic composite filling, which we will match in colour to your natural teeth.

Restoring your teeth and regaining your smile

At Castle Park Dental Care in Cottingham, East Yorkshire we use resin composite fillings to match the colour of your teeth and ensure a long-lasting and natural-looking result. We also offer porcelain crowns, inlays and onlays as successful options for repairing cracked, broken, decayed or heavily filled teeth. They are hardwearing and can be colour-matched perfectly to your own teeth.

If you would like to discuss replacing your old amalgam fillings or for any dental needs, give us a call on 01482 770597.

All staff members I have felt with were friendly and helpful.

Sharon Adamson

Castle Park Dentist are very caring and reassuring. I have had two appointments my first appointment was in September of this year and already I feel more confident but most importantly my teeth feel amazing. I have a fear of visiting a dentist but I can honestly say I know I will be listened to and not told off for stopping them during my check ups. This has happened to me in the past and was one of the things that stopped me attending my previous appointments. I would highly recommend Castle Park.

From my initial appointment with Andrew I have always felt absolutely relaxed in the his professional yet friendly manner along with his delightful assistant/s . A calmness that continues throughout the entire process ,with clear expert explanations / advice as and when appropriate . I would have no hesitation recommending him to anyone seeking an absolutely first rate dentist . My only warning is he's an Arsenal supporter but come on Tigers no one's perfect !!

Had my 6 month check and hygiene appointment yesterday with Katie, the Dental Therapist. I was treated with care and dignity, Katie explained everything she was doing and did not rush the appointment. I will be back again in another 6 months to see Katie as having the single appointment with such a kind and considerate practitioner is far better than seeing a dentist and a hygienist separately.

I turned up on the wrong day for my check up. The receptionist was very understanding and spoke to a lady dentist who agreed to see me within about 10 minutes. Excellent service, thank you to the team.

Ive had some treatments done at the practice and the whole staff are lovely. I had straightening treatments done with Andrew who is excellent! Hes so thorough.
