What are amalgam fillings?

Amalgam fillings are also known as silver fillings and are a dental material used to fill cavities caused by tooth decay. They usually consist of a mixture of metals, although mercury is the most commonly used and gives amalgam fillings their distinctive silver look.

Why remove amalgam fillings?

So what is actually wrong with mercury fillings you may ask? Well, apart from the fact they aren’t the most natural looking, they’re made of hard metal and may cause your teeth to crack. This can lead to root canal treatments, costly crowns, a full tooth rebuild, and you could even lose a tooth.

 

Because they’re metal and metals conduct, if an amalgam filling is deep, it will absorb heat from the food and drinks you eat which can lead to sensitivity within the tooth. Not only that, they leach out grey liquid, which can stain the rest of your tooth and make the rest of your smile look unsightly. 

 

Above all else, mercury is a known neurotoxin that can impact cognitive function and neurological health. Removing amalgam fillings can reduce your exposure to mercury vapour and minimise potential health risks, which is why we would always recommend removing them.

Removing amalgam fillings – what to expect during your visit

  1. Consultation – Your Smile Stories journey begins with a thorough consultation with one of our experienced dentists. During this appointment, we will discuss your concerns, review your dental history, and determine if amalgam filling removal is the right option for you.
  2. Considered treatment planning – If you decide to proceed with removal, our team will create a bespoke treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. We’ll explain the process in detail, including any necessary precautions and post-procedure care instructions.
  3. Safe amalgam filling removal – During the removal procedure, our dental professionals follow strict safety protocols to minimise exposure to mercury vapour. We use isolation techniques, high-speed suction, and protective barriers to ensure your safety.
  4. Replacement options – We can discuss alternative filling materials, such as tooth-coloured fillings at your initial consultation so any additional treatment to restore the natural appearance and function of your teeth can be completed within one appointment. 
  5. Post-removal care – After the procedure, we provide guidance on caring for your teeth and gums as they heal. We may recommend some slight dietary adjustments or temporary dental treatments to support your oral health during the short recovery period.
