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.

Welcoming reception staff and easy to complete and sign form. Short waiting time for appointment. Sarah Gauvin, the hygienist was attentive and listened to my needs. She was gentle and thorough and has made my smile so much better. She doesn’t rush and gives her patients the time and attention they need when attending a dentist appointment. Thank you

I have been attending Lynn Practice since 2013? I always have confidence in Dr Joshi and the receptionists. They have been very good to me as I have suffered with abscesses over the years and they have always been able to get me an appointment as they know I panic!!! I am never late for an appointment but unfortunately was an hour late this time, although I was happy to re-arrange as did not want other patients to be delayed, Dr Joshi was able to see me. The hygienist could not see me till 2.00 so was going to re-arrange, but whilst seeing Dr Joshi one of their other hygienist became free and was able to see here. I have now booked to see her in my next appointment as my original hygienist has retired. I was very grateful to one an all. Thank you.

I am highly impressed with this dental practice! The staff members are consistently friendly, kind, and exceptionally helpful. Dr. Muhannad Alif has gone above and beyond for me, and I cannot thank him enough for his outstanding care. I wholeheartedly recommend this exceptional team to everyone!I visited (Smile Dental Clinic kings Lynn )and the doctor spent a mere 2 minutes checking my teeth. I am extremely dissatisfied with the level of care I received. I experienced significant pain that kept me awake at night, yet the doctor failed to provide any painkillers or medication. This is unacceptable.thank you Lynn road dental practice kings Lynn.
