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 Hadleigh Dental Surgery 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 Hadleigh Dental Surgery in Hadleigh 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 01473 823092.

I originally got referred by my Dentist for a root canal procedure. I was extremely nervous ,Mr Singh who did my root canal was amazing put me ant my ease and took his time with me.. It was a long appointment, but the whole experience was a positive one ,I Can’t praise him enough . due to this experience. I’ve now left my old dentist and I’ve registered here. I recently had a check up with equally the same service.

I don't have much to compare it with, as all my adult dental treatment has been at this surgery, with this dentist, in this room. However, the whole experience is always completely smooth and professional.

The hygienist and her assistant nurse were amazing. In previous years I have feared hygienist appointments and found them very uncomfortable. Not so here. They were so attentive, I felt listened to and equal. So often I feel talked at by a dentist and feel an unnecessary superiority from them. The team I saw were super, very competent & kind, I felt relaxed and in safe hands, they are the reason why I will return
