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 Titchfield Dental Health 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 Titchfield Dental Health in Southampton 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 01489 581158.

Being somebody who has had a dental surgery phobia since childhood I was not looking forward to having a large molar crowned due to cracking. I shouldn't have worried as the whole process was completed by Anya over 2 sessions within 3 hours with no pain whatsoever. No waiting for weeks for the crown to be made as they do it in-house. Even the injections were painless ...

A highly professional operation that listens to your needs and provides a well detailed response. They don't rush things, are experts in their field, and listen to your concerns and explain stuff thoroughly.

The hygienist personally came to collect us. Linda was welcoming, friendly, interested and knowledgeable. She confirmed my comfort level frequently. She kept me informed at every stage. You should be proud to have her represent your practice.

I attended with my 2&4 year old, the staff are so good at engaging with the children whilst also attending to my care. The children always feel comfortable coming to the dentist (2 year old isn’t always so sure!) but the staff go above and beyond to ensure they feel comfortable and make it not a scary place.
