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 Envisage Dental Ferndown 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 Envisage Dental Ferndown in Ferndown 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 01202 871488.

I couldn't be happier with the treatment I received at Envisage Dental Ferndown. From my very first consultation with Tom and Tayla through to the final appointment, the entire team was professional, friendly, and incredibly supportive.<br><br>I had four veneers and four crowns fitted, and the whole process was explained clearly every step of the way. I always felt comfortable, well-informed, and confident that I was in expert hands.<br><br>The attention to detail and quality of the work have exceeded my expectations. The end result looks completely natural, and I now have the smile I'd always hoped for. I genuinely can't thank the team enough for their care, skill, and dedication throughout my treatment.<br><br>I would highly recommend Envisage Dental Ferndown to anyone considering cosmetic dental treatment. It's been an excellent experience from start to finish, and I'm absolutely delighted with the results.

Overall superb service provided, every facet of my experience at Envisage was first class. The treatment provided by Dr Hugo Rowland and the Dental Nurse was outstanding; both of whom were friendly and professional, whilst the procedure itself was to the highest standard. The lady on reception I interacted with was helpful and friendly. No one looks forward to going to the dentist, but when you receive treatment and service of such a high standard, it is about as good as it gets!

As a very nervous patient. I was put immediately at ease by the dentist and dental nurse. Both were extremely kind and supportive. Everything was explained fully to me and time given for my next option. Cannot praise them highly enough. The receptionist was also very kind and caring after the tooth extraction and made sure that I was feeling up to leaving the practice.

I had Invisalign done with Tom. From start to finish he was very thorough, making sure he made my teeth look as good as he possibly could, he also talked me through every stage making sure I had a good understanding of what was going on/going to happen next. He is also very polite and friendly along with his assistant and the receptionists. Any question or queries I had he was more than happy to answer/help. I am so much more confident and happy now it was 100% worth doing. Overall i had a very good experience with Tom and would strongly recommend him!
