Safe amalgam removal involves the careful removal of existing amalgam (silver) fillings, which contain mercury, using a controlled and considered approach.

Safe Amalgam Removal

The focus is on patient comfort, minimising exposure, and maintaining the integrity of the underlying tooth.

We assess each case individually, taking into account the condition of the filling, the tooth structure, and your preferences before recommending removal.

Where removal is appropriate, we follow a structured protocol designed to reduce unnecessary exposure and ensure a calm, well-controlled clinical environment throughout the procedure.

Replacement is typically carried out using modern tooth-coloured materials that restore both function and aesthetics.

If you’re unsure whether removal is appropriate, we can assess this during your visit and guide you through the most suitable options.
