Mercury Fillings Removal: Safe and Effective Solutions at Evolve Dentistry

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:

  1. Health Concerns: Mercury is a toxic substance, and while the amount in amalgam fillings is low, some people worry about long-term exposure. Studies show that small amounts of mercury vapor can be released from these fillings when chewing or grinding your teeth. For those sensitive to mercury or looking for peace of mind, removal is an attractive option.
  2. Aesthetic Appeal: Amalgam fillings have a silver colour that can darken over time, making them quite visible when you smile. Today’s modern composite fillings, which are tooth-coloured, provide a more natural and appealing look.
  3. Environmental Impact: Mercury is also a pollutant. By choosing to have these fillings removed, you’re contributing to the reduction of mercury in the environment, particularly through safe disposal processes followed by responsible dentists like those at Evolve Dentistry.

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.

Yasmin takes time to understand what you’d like to achieve and will always guide you honestly if something may not give a balanced, natural outcome.

You should still look like yourself - just refreshed and confident.

Thinking about straightening your teeth?

In this video, Yasmin explains Angel Aligners and why they can be a great option for both patients and clinicians.

Clear aligners are designed to gradually move teeth into a better position using a series of custom-made trays. They’re discreet, removable and allow you to continue eating, brushing and flossing as normal.

Angel Aligners also use advanced digital planning, helping us carefully plan each stage of treatment and achieve predictable results.

If you’ve been thinking about straighter teeth, our team at Evolve would be happy to talk you through the options.
