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.

Abi Dundus is exceptionally good, listens to my needs and understands my nervousness.She has been our family dentist for many years, she has a good overview of our health conditions and treats us all with great care and is exceptionally kind.

Normally am a nervous patient. My dentist talks all the way through and puts you at ease.

This might sound odd, but the Dentist and the Hygienist both have very soft or gentle hands, so no crushing of my lip against my teeth etc. Also they are both very good at explaining what they are doing as they do it. It’s difficult to ask with hands in my mouth.

In todays medical world we see a different person every time we need support, Even doctors surgery turn over staff like kids moving through school years. In hospitals you see a different person for each ailment and test, or the main doctor’s registrar. At Cedar dental care we know the staff and we see the same people year on year so feel like we are part of the family, not just another number.
