Amalgam Filling Removal

Amalgam fillings have been commonly used by dentists to fill cavities. While they are often referred to as “silver amalgam”, they are made out of a mixture of metals including mercury.

Delve into the world of amalgam fillings removal with us, where meticulous care meets holistic wellness.

Understanding Amalgam Fillings

For over 150 years, amalgam fillings, commonly known as "silver fillings," have been a staple in dental care. Comprising a robust mixture of metals, including mercury, they've filled countless cavities, safeguarding the dental health of generations. However, amidst evolving dental technologies and growing health awareness, the conversation around amalgam fillings and their removal has taken centre stage.

Why Consider Amalgam Filling Removal?

  • Health Concerns: While substantial evidence assures us that mercury exposure from amalgam fillings doesn't pose significant health risks to the general population, individual cases of allergies and sensitivities call for attention.
  • Dental Integrity: Over time, amalgam fillings might crack or wear down, potentially compromising tooth health and necessitating removal.

GCHDC's Approach to Safe Amalgam Removal

At GCHDC, your health and safety are paramount. Our amalgam removal process is a testament to our commitment to incorporating advanced safety measures and techniques to ensure a secure and comfortable patient and staff experience.

Our Safety Protocols Include:

  • Rubber Dams and Oxygen Supply: To prevent mercury vapour inhalation, we use rubber dams and provide supplemental oxygen during the procedure.
  • High-Volume Suction Devices: These devices are crucial in minimising mercury vapour and particulate dispersion.
  • High-Speed Dental Burs: Designed for efficiency, these burs reduce the amount of mercury vapour released during amalgam removal.
