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 Lynn Road 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 Lynn Road Dental Practice in Kings Lynn 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 01553 767543.

I liked the new procedure used by the hygienist. It was a more comfortable experience, which was carefully described and executed.

3rd July 2026

I am a difficult patient who has trouble getting properly numb before a procedure. The problem I stated having in an earlier question was that the first injection wasn’t enough. Dr. Mo has built a rapport with me and knows my discomfort cues well at this point he was able to catch it before I even complained and offered more anaesthetic. The fear I have about going to the dentist is being eased more and more with every visit I make to this practice. I hate going to the dentist, it frightens me to the point I’d call it a phobia. The team here is fixing years of psychological damage they didn’t cause.

Attended a hygienist appointment with the wonderful Sarah and Gail, they explained to me about the new machine they are using and the amazing results it would give. WOW just WOW!! the easiest, no fuss, no pain or sensitivity cleaning I've ever had and.... who needs a teeth whitening service after this? IT IS THAT GOOD! I had neglected visiting for 2 years and my teeth were extremely caked up with plaque. Now they're almost like new again! Bravo!!! I recommend this a million percent! I was shaking when I left because I couldn't believe how amazing this is.

Reliable, professional, friendly

20th June 2026

All was explained perfectly. My welfare was paramount, always checking that I was OK. Some gum/teethg discomfort after the appointment but I expected that and it soon passed. Most certainly I will be happy to go back.

Very professional hygienist and her apprentice

14th June 2026

I have been registered with the Practice for 4 years and have always been cared for by Tracey. I am most disappointed to learn that she will be leaving in August. I would like to thank her for all the care and patience she has given to me since I came to the practice. Tracey is a kind, understanding and very talented dentist, who listens carefully to her patients before beginning any treatment. She is highly skilled and always conducts herself most professionally. Thank you Tracey.

Great dentist, friendly reception and nice waiting area

11th June 2026

Brais ( sorry about the spelling!) knows I do not like going to the dentist from experience when I was young. I am also disabled and have just had a hip replacement. He and all the staff are so kind and put you at ease. Their professionalism is extremely high as is their standard of care. Having been in the medical profession for over 40 years I can’t but praise their patient care.

Mo took the time to explain in great detail the procedure and my needs. He was very informative and took an interest in my well being. He put me at ease and I trust his expertise.
