At Evolve Dentistry, we prioritise your health, wellness, and comfort, which is why we offer safe mercury filling removal. If you’re concerned about the potential health effects of mercury fillings or want to transition to more aesthetic and biocompatible alternatives, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s what you need to know about the mercury filling removal process and why Evolve Dentistry is your trusted partner in achieving a mercury-free smile.
What are Mercury Fillings?
Mercury fillings, commonly referred to as amalgam fillings, are a blend of mercury, silver, tin, and copper. They’ve been widely used in dentistry for decades to repair cavities because of their durability. However, concerns have arisen over the years regarding mercury exposure from these fillings. Though many organisations consider amalgam fillings safe, some people prefer to have them removed due to potential health risks and their noticeable metallic appearance.
Why Consider Mercury Filling Removal?
There are several reasons why patients opt for mercury filling removal:
Our Safe Mercury Filling Removal Process
At Evolve Dentistry, we follow a rigorous, safety-first protocol to remove mercury fillings. This process ensures both the patient and our dental team are protected from mercury exposure during the procedure.
We use advanced filtration systems to capture mercury vapors and particles, protective equipment for patients and staff, and high-volume suction devices to ensure minimal exposure. After removal, we replace amalgam fillings with modern, mercury-free alternatives like composite resin or ceramic inlays, both of which are durable, aesthetically pleasing, and biocompatible.
Why Choose Evolve Dentistry?
At Evolve Dentistry, we believe in delivering holistic dental care that supports your overall well-being. Our skilled and experienced team is committed to ensuring your mercury filling removal is as safe and stress-free as possible. We use state-of-the-art technology and strictly adhere to safety protocols to minimise mercury exposure during removal.

⏰ Smile hack: When you brush matters
Did you know it’s not just how long you brush — but when you brush — that makes a difference? Maggie shares an important smile hack about timing your toothbrushing properly.
Brushing straight after eating — especially after acidic foods or drinks like fruit, juice or coffee — can actually do more harm than good. Your enamel is slightly softened, and brushing immediately can cause wear.
Maggie explains the best time to brush and why waiting can help protect your teeth long term.
It’s a small change that can make a big difference to your oral health.
