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.

This is my initial review on becoming a patient for the first time. Easy access building (although the roads around the practice are disgraceful - full of pot holes). Small but busy practice with pleasant staff and compact waiting room with nice atmosphere. Treatment room was hi tech and I thought the dental photos and x-rays being displayed on the TV screen was an excellent idea and enabled the dentist (Harry) to give a comprehensive assesment of my dental health and suggest better care to preserve my teeth (and eventually my wallet

First time in this clinic and they were absolutely wonderful! I was nervous to come as I knew I had a few problems, but I was treated with so much respect. Thank you to all the staff, and to Dr Marcus, Cam and Emma. You are all so friendly and have made a huge, positive difference. Thank you!

The friendliness of the reception staff. The hygienist was constantly making sure I was comfortable and fine during the cleaning and explained how to best improve the bleeding in my gums before our next appointment.

All staff are very welcoming and friendly. I’ve always had fears when it comes to visiting dentists from a young age, however I’ve never felt judged since going here and the dentists and hygienists I have seen have all been very accommodating when I have been nervous and the treatments I have gotten have been excellent (deep cleaning, fillings, checkups etc). If I’ve had any issues they get me in promptly and as soon as possible (wisdom tooth infection) and they are very reassuring and talk you through everything that’s happening and how to treat things after the appointment I highly recommend this Dentist to anyone if they are in need of reliable and trustworthy dentist practice.

12th March 2026

All staff are all ways very helpful and friendly. I find the Dentist and particularly the Hygienist very helpful and supportive I couldn’t hope for a better experience.
