What is Amalgam Filling Removal & Replacement?

Amalgam fillings, often known as silver fillings, have been widely used for many years. However, some patients prefer to replace these fillings with composite (white) fillings for aesthetic reasons or concerns about mercury content in amalgam. Safe removal involves careful techniques to ensure minimal exposure to mercury vapor and particles during the process.

What to Expect During the Removal Process

Initial Consultation:

Discuss your concerns and goals with our dentist. We will examine your fillings and create a tailored plan for their removal and replacement.

Safe Removal Techniques:

We utilise high volume aspiration to capture mercury vapours and a rubber dam to isolate the tooth, preventing ingestion or inhalation of amalgam particles.

Composite Filling Placement:

After the amalgam filling is safely removed, the tooth will be prepared, and a composite (white) filling will be placed. This process involves layering the composite material and curing it with a special light to ensure a strong bond.

"Fantastic dentist"

I hadn’t been to the dentist for year as i’ve always been too scared!! I plucked up the courage after Dr Ketan Sheth treated my 9 and 11 year old children and they were fine. Can honestly say now I don’t know why I didn’t go sooner. Dr Ketan Sheth is a fantastic dentist and all the staff and the surgery as a whole there is 5 star! Thank you for all your help and see you in 6 months.

"Immaculately Clean"

I have been using FACEMED for a number of years now for natural, painless Botox injections. A few years ago I decided to also have Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery. The clinic has its own operating theatre for the Consultant Plastic Surgeon to perform surgery, the results were perfect. FACEMED is immaculately clean, the staff are professional and helpful and Monica is an absolute expert in her field.

Monica is professional, thorough and honest and puts you at ease. I absolutely wouldn’t trust anyone else. The results are always very natural. The clinic is beautifully clean and always smells amazing! If I ever decide to go further than my regular ‘tweakments’ FACEMED will absolutely be my first port of call.
