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 Durban Dental Centre 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 Durban Dental Centre in East Sussex 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 01892 652377.

I have recommended people in the past who have been extremely satisfied with the practice and treatment carried out by Ashley and the practice. I myself have always been impressed with the highly professional service given by both Ashly and Kate, who have treated me since they first started at the Durban Dental Centre. Which is quite a few of the 44 years I have attended the practice.

7th December 2024

I’ve had a bad experience with another practice which left me in terrible pain for couple of weeks following treatment although they knew there was a problem. I’d contacted Durban out of desperation. I was seen quickly and interim treatment started. It felt very professional and calm. I felt in good hands. I didn’t return to the previous practice. The Hygienist at Durban really reassures me through out the treatment. Checking I’m ok. Telling me the next step. Just that interaction helps me relax and feel comfortable.

6th December 2024
