Dental professionals perform amalgam removal to eliminate dental fillings that consist of a blend of metals, such as silver, mercury, tin, copper and other trace elements. Although amalgam has been a preferred material for fillings for more than a century, worries have emerged regarding the possible health hazards linked to mercury exposure. Consequently, a growing number of dentists are adopting composite (or tooth-colored) fillings, which do not contain mercury and provide a more visually pleasing alternative for repairing teeth.
At our dental office, we prioritize your overall health and wellbeing by offering safe and effective amalgam removal. Our team is trained to use the latest techniques and equipment to ensure a comfortable, efficient and, most importantly, safe procedure. Our goal is to provide you with the best possible care, and that includes using materials that are safe and free from harmful substances.
Composite fillings offer numerous benefits, including their tooth-colored appearance and their ability to strengthen the tooth structure. By choosing composite fillings, you can enjoy a healthier, more natural-looking smile that is free of metal fillings.
