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 Green Park Dental 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 Green Park Dental in Bath 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 01225 421096.

All very friendly

25th July 2026

Really happy for the extra level of treatment I received, not only was the cleaning treatment very efficient but was less painful than previous times and I asked whether the water was warm and told yes their new system gently warms the water. I was given a special paste tooth rub which would identify any plaque which would turn pink. I was also given x rays to try to identify what was causing a random ache in one of my back teeth. In addition I was also given a prescription for both dry mouth and some fluoride toothpaste . Thanks

Congratulations and well done to Dr Aarifa Hussain for her bravery . I would like to thank Dr Aarifa Hussain for her exceptional care during my tooth extraction. She was confident, professional, and reassuring throughout the procedure.Her courage and expertise helped put me at ease, and I am very grateful for the excellent treatment I received. I visited other dental clinic in London and they were scared to remove my tooth and was referred to a specialist but Dr Aarifa Hussain took the initiative and assured me that she will do it which is a real daring and challenging for Aarifa . Great achievement , inspiration and hats off . I would like to thank Nurse Anne too for her support and care . I was welcomed by the Receptionist , sorry dont know the name and all the staff very friendly and would definitely recommend my friends to visit the lovely Green Park Dental Practice in Bath

The clinicians and other staff are very kind and we’re all extremely helpful and kind when I was going through cancer treatment. The clinicians spent time carefully explaining treatment options and showed me x-rays. The hygienist carefully explained areas to focus on to prevent future problems.
