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.

A very professional clinician. He took the time to explain his reasoning and recommendations clearly, listened attentively to my questions, and provided thoughtful, well-informed answers. He didn’t push for unnecessary treatment, but instead offered an objective assessment of the situation and a sensible way forward. His focus on both patient care and customer experience was evident throughout. He carried out the work carefully and diligently, and his strong listening skills helped build genuine trust.In addition, the rest of the team has been very friendly, professional too, almost anticipating customer needs. Overall, clean premises, hand sanitisers, modern equipment, customer focus and always a friendly, positive and inspiring attitude and atmosphere.

Abigail is not only a superb dentist, but a lovely person also. She always looks after me, and makes sure I am at ease before during and after the dental work. I have known her for around 20 years now, and she has always been extremely helpful, attentive and provides an excellent overall service. She understand that I get a bit nervous attending for dental treatment, but treats me with respect, and she is always counseling me during progress to ensure I try to relax. She describes the work as it is being executed, and shows me the outcome afterwards with pictures where appropriate.

The dental care was very good. There was no pain during the procedure and Rav cared for my nerves. Following the appointment, after the numbness went, I felt a sharp patch. Rav immediately called me back in (same day) and resolved it! Really impressed.
