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.

I have a pretty big fear of anything dentistry, but Sherry and Emily were just incredible. So welcoming, friendly, and professional all at the same time. I feel silly now for being so worried. Thanks so so much!

I wish there was an option to give 10 stars because they deserve them. I booked an appointment for a check up yesterday but then at the last minute it had to be changed to an emergency appointment. I read the review below and had some concerns but Aarifa Hussain and her colleague were so friendly and helpful They provided excellent treatment and I left with a smile Look forward to my next appointment

Aarifa Hussain is the most wonderful dentist, you won't find another one like her, especially if you are looking for a dentist for your child!

I’m a bit of a nervous patient but Dr Mowla and Sophie Nash have really helped me overcome my fears. Everybody at the practice is super friendly, too. I’m happier visiting the dentist now, than I ever have been.

Dr. Smillie and his team are wonderfully professional, with a dental practise that is thoroughly up-to-date and compassionate.

I have been debating rating Green Park Dental Practice for some time now, but I have always had good service with nothing more to elaborate on. In previous appointments Dr Smillie has been nothing but professional. I particularly like the time he takes to really explain what it is he is doing/looking for, the diagrams are a bonus. I had an experience at the practice today that had me left feeling a little anxious and it would have been easy for me to leave a negative review, but out of unfortunate circumstances came compassion from a receptionist who supported me to rebook another appointment with another member of staff for a later date and who checked on me after appearing visibly upset. It is because of my previous interactions with Dr Snillie and today, with the reception team that I will return and why I cannot leave anything other than a five star review.

All staff are very lovely and the practise is a nice safe place to be. All anxieties about the dentist are gone here. I would recommend this dental surgery.

My husband and I have both had a great experience with Dr Sherry Mowla. For both of us she is honestly hands down the best dentist we have seen - super reassuring and transparent about treatment as well as being open about sharing options that may suit.

Excellent service, in nice and relaxing environment, highly recommended. I had a very good experience from my first consultation to right up to end of treatment plan including multiple fillings and crowns. My dentist Dr. Sherry Mowla has been highly competent, thorough and committed to deliver best possible results. I was most impressed by her skills to make fillings look like genuine teeth surface and my new crowns are the perfect fit as well. Add to that, Sherry was very flexible and friendly, and visible; a real professional.

Dr Sherry Mowla looked after me very well. I was nervous about my tooth extraction but she explained everything very clearly and was very reassuring during the whole procedure. I would strongly recommend this dental practice. Thank you Sherry.

Sherry has been fantastic as my dentist and my go to for the last few years, she always explains everything in detail, answers any questions I have and is really really knowledgable! I have had a fair bit of work done with Green Park and her, including a filling on one of my wisdom teeth (one of the hardest teeth to reach) which has been perfect ever since and avoided expensive/painful surgery to remove the tooth. I don't know of any other dentists with that kind of experience to look at alternative options and I have no regrets in her advice to fill the tooth instead of remove, a very happy customer. Thanks again Sherry and the team and will be back for the normal check up/hygenist soon!

Very friendly reception team who make you feel welcome and put you at ease straight away. 'Gentle' Green Park Dental Practice is the word! The hygienist made the scale and polish feel like tickling! Lovely nurses who reassure you that you can raise your hand at any moment to pause the treatment. I felt confident that I was receiving excellent care from the dentist and left with a lovely smile! Thank you to all the team!

Mr Smilie Green Park Dental Service was completely professional in my recent visit for a filling. The family have explicit trust Mr Smile's diagnosis, visits and process.

Had a filling done by Dr. Mowla and it must be the best filling I've had. She even put some artistic flair in to make it look natural. Can hardly tell I've had it done. Her and her nurse Ewa also make a great team and were very professional! I would highly recommend !

Anne Kendall

I recently had a very deep replacement filling done by Dr Sherry Mowla. She was brilliant: so calm, considerate, explained everything she was doing in advance and as we went along. More importantly, she is such a skilled dentist, clearly wants the best outcome for her patients. I rate her highly.

Capable, professional, courteous. I was late and they still fitted me in.

Have had consistently great treatment and care from this practice for 25years - they have a new treasure called Cami, a hygienist who has really taken time to understand some of my sensory needs, and therefore has made the whole process much more comfortable and relaxed. Dr Smillie is wonderful, and does a great job - has helped me maintain my teeth , even with significant issues, over many years. They are always professional yet friendly. The reception team are also a great advert for this practice - well done!
