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 Emsworth 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 Emsworth in Emsworth 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 01243 375588.

Very personable staff from recepcionist to dentist

8th July 2026

The dentist Stephen is always so kind, friendly and reassuring. He is also very good at explaining everything in an accessible and meaningful way. He really takes the time to talk things through and outline all the options available and their pros and cons to help me make an informed choice. He remembers all the previous treatments I have had and checks in with how they went. He comes across as knowledgeable and skilled which makes me feel safe and reduces any anxiety.

I’ve been a patient with Envisage for a number of years now so everything is very familiar and easy with the team. Tara the hygienist and Celehte my dentist are always very positive and encouraging. Almost a pleasure to attend the dentist!

Staff are incredibly warm and friendly. I attended with my son for his appointments too and they were fantastic with him. The hygienist in particular was brilliant at making him feel safe and understand what she was doing (it was his first time). Thank you.

Explained the the treatment I need and gave me list of priority to which I agreed.

2nd July 2026

The friendliness of all the staff at Envisage but above all the trust that I had in Celeste's careful work which made my treatment painfree and very effective. I also like the approach to preventive treatment rather than waiting to see a possible worse treatment in future.

Everyone at Envisage has been absolutely wonderful, including the reception staff, dentist and dental nurses. I have some particular health-related needs and everyone has been completely understanding and kind regarding these and have gone out of their way to tailor my treatment to my needs. I cannot thank everyone at the practice enough.
