Amalgam Replacement & White Fillings

Older amalgam fillings can stain surrounding tooth structure, crack with time or no longer fit as precisely as they should. Replacing them can improve both appearance and structural integrity.

What this treatment focuses on

Each case is assessed carefully before replacement so we only intervene when it is clinically useful. We review bite forces, crack lines and the amount of tooth left before choosing the right material.

Modern white restorations bond to the tooth and can often be placed more conservatively than older metallic fillings.
