What is amalgam?
Amalgam is a commonly used filling material that contains an amalgamation of mercury and various other metals including zinc, silver and copper.
Why do you remove it?
At Evolve Dentistry our experience has told us that the majority of our patients are in favour of amalgam free, tooth coloured fillings. Advances in dentistry have led to improved alternative materials to amalgam, resulting in a more natural smile.
Safety is our main concern when conducting dental amalgam removal. We want, at all times, to keep the exposure to amalgam to a minimum. Therefore we follow a strict protocol that includes:
- Active charcoal given immediately prior to amalgam removal.
- Oxygen delivered via a nasal mask.
- Damp gauze applied to the eyes to avoid mucosal absorption.
- Specialist suction used around the tooth being treated.
- The filling sectioned out in chunks.
- The use of Homoeopathic amalgam remedy.
- Provision of general guidelines on nutritional support.
Patients whose immune system is already compromised, such as ME or MS sufferers would particularly benefit from amalgam filling removal following this protocol.
After amalgam removal we place a white filling, porcelain inlay or crown. This will be discussed with you during the initial consultation.
Each case is unique and we tailor treatment plans to an individualsí needs. After the initial consultation you will be sent an estimate in the post that will detail all costs. The initial consultation is £60. An up to date price list can be found on our web site.
