My white composite filling is ruff and is concave in shape

Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Q.
I recently had an old amalgam filling removed by an NHS dentist and replaced with a glass resin composite filling and topped at the end with a white one because it was so large. I ended up having to pay for this privately as the NHS don’t do white fillings. My only problem with it now is that it feels rough and rather than it being shaped to look like the contours of a molar, my dentist left a concave shape in the middle of it. Is this normal? As far as I was aware white composite fillings are supposed to be time consuming, but somehow my dentist did three of these in 40 minutes.

I have a query concerning filling.

Saturday, March 28th, 2009
Q.
I have a query concerning filling. I have 10 silver filling put in over the last 10 years (I’m 27) but I am concerned about the safety of them – due to the mercury – and I’m thinking about getting them replaced with white filling which I believe do not contain any mercury. Is this a sensible thing to do, or in your opinion unnecessary? Does removing old filling and replacing them with white ones present any problems in itself which I should be aware of? Many Thanks

A.
There is no research to back t… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Q.
Is it possible to remove stains from white fillings? I am thinking of saving to have the two white fillings I have replaced with porcelain inlays but in the meantime is there anything I can do to make them look better?
