Common Questions

How is existing mercury amalgam removed at this clinic?

The clinic describes following the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique, a protocol intended to limit mercury release during removal. Stated steps include isolating the tooth with a rubber dam barrier, supplying pure oxygen for the patient to breathe, sectioning the filling, high-speed suction of the amalgam, air filtration and circulation, protective gowns for clinician and patient, and environmentally appropriate disposal.

What replaces an amalgam filling once it is removed?

The clinic states that, depending on the age and size of the existing silver mercury filling, it may be replaced with a metal-free, tooth-coloured composite restoration. Where the amalgam was particularly large, or where it caused the tooth to crack, the clinic describes a crown as the more stable alternative, and says the options and expected outcome of each are discussed beforehand.
