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 Newcastle 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 Newcastle Dental Practice in Newcastle-under-Lyme 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 01782 616178.

Claire Perry, hygienist, is very professional and friendly. Her assistant was also welcoming and helpful. I have visited other hygienists, within the practice, however I find Claire to be the most knowledgeable and thorough. I do worry about the costs rising, at the practice, as I have a budget. I hope that I will continue to attend and that prices don't result in me having to find alternative options as I am happy with the hygiene service.

Very attentive and understanding staff at all points of the journey. Hygienist and dentist explain in clear terms to help me understand my treatments and what is affecting my dental health, and there is no judgement or impatience when I ask questions to clarify.

Over the past three years, I have been a valued patient at Newcastle Dental Practice, initially seeking orthodontic treatment with Invisalign and subsequent cosmetic enhancements as required. My dentist, Yannis, has been an exceptional professional. His meticulous attention to detail has significantly improved my smile, and he has consistently provided comprehensive dental care. Without reservation, I highly recommend Yannis for both routine and cosmetic dental procedures. Throughout my appointments, various dental nurses have assisted Yannis. Each nurse has been supportive of his efforts, dedicated to their work, and exhibited exceptional care. The reception staff are always courteous and welcoming, greeting me with a smile upon my arrival. Scheduling appointments that accommodate my availability has been a seamless process. I find the treatment costs to be reasonable, and the costs are always clearly communicated before any work is performed. In summary, I cannot express my satisfaction with Newcastle Dental Practice. I wholeheartedly recommend this practice to any prospective patients seeking exceptional dental care.

Reception staff are really pleasant and helpful. Clinician is really kind and explains everything. He is also very good with my younger children - I wish my dentist had been like him when I was a child.
