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 St Anne's Dental Practice 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 St Anne's Dental Practice in Lewes 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 01273 473189.

21st November 2024

Probably the friendliness of the staff. The quality of the care and the professionalism of the dental team. My extraction was not straightforward but was accomplished with the utmost skill and dexterity. I could not praise them highly enough. It was a pleasure to note the way my dentist and her nurse worked seamlessly together in a finely tuned double act.

I e had some terrible experiences in the past which has left me feeling nervous and anxious before an appointment. The team at St Anne's have all been fantastic since day one. They listen, they empathise and are not pushy. The hygienist is very careful and thorough … the best experience I’ve ever had.

The staff are totally professional. I had a check up with Susan as my dentist who explains everything as she goes along. I had a new hygenist Anna ( Polish) who was amazing. Just as good as Chrissie. I was very impressed with both ladies who carried out my treatment. Receptionists are also very polite and helpful.I left in a very happy mood . All thanks to the treatment I received at the practice .

I wouldn't call the experience great as it was a tooth extraction. But it was done well and was painless, and I felt I was in good, careful hands.
