Safe Amalgam Replacement

Many people have concerns and fears over the safety of mercury /amalgam fillings.

You may already know that amalgam fillings are made up of mercury, silver, tin, copper and zinc. Mercury makes up 50% of the amalgam. We take our patients’ health, care and concerns seriously and to that end we have designed a safe amalgam removal programme that minimises exposure to mercury during the removal of old amalgam fillings.

If you have concerns over your health and amalgam fillings then we can discuss with you at a consultation how we can safely and easily remove these fillings and then reconstruct your teeth using metal free alternatives.

• If the decay is not too serious, our cosmetic dentist will remove all the decay and restore the tooth with a white (tooth coloured) filling.

  Our dentists can safely replace silver amalgam fillings with white tooth coloured fillings.

• Dental decay happens when the enamel and dentine of a tooth become softened by acid attack, producing a cavity (hole).

  More about decay detection in our Preventive Dentistry section.
