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, it's 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 Cedar 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 Cedar Dental Care 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 01635 867979.

It is a pleasant relaxed environment. The dentist explained all the possible options and after discussion we have agreed a way forward and booked 5 appointments between now and November to carry out treatment

Reception were very helpful in arranging a short notice appointment for a broken back tooth. Dentist Anish Patel`s explanation of the issue and solution was excellent and he put me at ease straight away as a new patient. He carried out a temporary repair with the assistance of his nurse very efficiently and painlessly and arranged for further treatment on another back tooth with small fracture.

As a patient at Cedar Dental Carefor very many years I have always experienced first class attention and would not consider seeing another dentist.Would highly reccommend to anyone.

The reception team makes you feel really special from the moment you walk in. The dentist is always very warm and explains exactly what is wrong, giving options as to treatment to ensure you are happy with the prognosis. He always checks in during treatment to make sure you are comfortable. The nurse is very friendly and makes sure all your comfort needs are met, as well as being very efficient assisting the dentist. I look forward to my appointments in the certain knowledge that I will be well treated and have a great outcome after treatment.
