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.

Extremely Professional information about the treatment that could be offered to which is what I have been looking for for some time. Looking forward to my treatment, although it was told to me that the treatment I need will not be a quick fix, but feel extremely optimistic of the end result. I believe that I have found the right dentist for me, who made me feel very comfortable and happy to rely upon his judgement on the treatment that will be suitable for me.

I needed to see a dentist unexpectedly with a painful gum. Called in Friday afternoon not expecting to be able to see someone. I got an appointment later that afternoon. So efficient. Such a helpful person on the front desk. To cap it all I went into my appointment early! Fantastic service.

Great visit as always! I travel over an hour to see my dentist as she is just brilliant with me, on my first visit my teeth we’re chattering on the X-ray plate I was that nervous, now , a couple of years later, I am as close to being relaxed that I’ll be at the dentist :-)

My dentist has helped ease my extreme anxiety after previous bad experiences elsewhere- he takes time to ease my worries, talk me through what he’s doing or going to do. Gives me time between procedures- he treats me as a person not just an appointment. I wouldn’t go elsewhere.

2nd September 2025

On all my treatments ,check ups, and completed treatments the service and care was absolutely first class , makes going to the dentist dread free and surprisingly pleasent.

I have had terrible experiences at dentists before- but Lynn road dental surgery has taken time to accept a very anxious patient, slowly and gently telling me every step before it happens, friendly yet professional, reassuring and respectful. I honestly can’t praise them enough. Thank you.
