Old Silver Fillings Causing Problems?
They might look fine on the surface… but what is lurking beneath?
Poorly placed fillings can quietly damage your oral health
- Plaque traps
- Gum disease
- Bad breath
- Tooth decay
A REAL PATIENT CASE
At a new patient check-up we found:
- Large overhang silver (amalgam) filling
- Chronic infection under a retained root
- Decay under a wisdom tooth filling
Treatment carried out
✔️ Surgical removal of an infected & a wedged root
✔️ Replaced old with new composite fillings under rubber dam isolation
The end results
✅ Healthier gums (easier to clean)
✅ Clean, natural looking teeth
✅ Chronic infection removed
✅ A healthy smile restored
