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.

Dr Emily was excellent as always – she explained everything to me clearly and gave me options. The reception team were equally excellent – they managed to get me in for an emergency appointment with no trouble and they helped me to increase membership my DenPlan within seconds.

27th November 2025

After my treatment I had to wait in reception to obtain medication and instructions for my post-procedure care. It had not been prepared in advance si I had to wait. I was in some discomfort and wanted to get back to my car to apply an ice pack. The recption staff noticed my discomfort and were very considerate aking if they could help me in any way and offering assistance when I was ready to leave. In my opinion it was an illustration 'of your motto: Putting patients first.

26th November 2025

Everybody is always so friendly. We love the fact that from the minute you walk in the door you are made to feel welcome. We are always greeted by our first names and a happy smile which makes a real difference, especially to my extremely nervous husband. The personal touch is what makes this practice stand out from any other we have used before.
