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.

The reception area was clean, the receptionist was very pleasant and helpful and the lady who told me that i could help myself to a coffee was a blessing in disguise as I had travelled from Bridlington with my friend and a cup of coffee was just what the Dr ordered. Many thanks to all the team.

Andrew was very engaging! Exploring a possible problem and explaining everything very clearly.

23rd April 2026

I feel I am treated as an individual and not just a number. My needs are met and my comfort is always a consideration by the person treating me especially Katy. My treatment requirement is always discussed with me and I am involved in the decision making. The clinic is clean and not too clinical. Toilet facilities are good. It’s nice to have ceramic mugs for hot drinks rather than a paper cup. Receptionists staff are professional and polite and also friendly. The whole experience for me is a positive experience. Thank you all for your care and please keep up the excellent work you all do.
