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.

I was very impressed by the way everything was explained to me before treatment. The treatment itself was without pain but I was regularly asked if I was alright throughout the procedure, which I found very reassuring.All the staff that I have had dealings with, from reception to clinicians and surgeons, have been very friendly and professional.I would not hesitate in recommending this practice to my friends and family!

The atmosphere in the practice is calm and relaxing, which, as a nervous person, makes me feel relaxed. Everyone is polite and helpful and all of my questions were answered. I was not rushed or made to feel awkward, everyone was very professional.
