Dentistry At Evolve Dentistry, we prioritise the health and well-being of our patients by offering a holistic approach to dental care. One aspect that aligns with our commitment to overall wellness is the safer removal of amalgam fillings. Amalgam removal is a crucial step for those seeking a more biocompatible and metal-free dental solution. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the process of amalgam removal at Evolve Dentistry and shed light on the benefits of choosing this path to dental wellness.
Amalgam fillings, commonly known as silver fillings, have been a staple in dentistry for decades due to their durability. However, they contain a mixture of metals, including mercury, which has raised concerns about potential health risks. At Evolve Dentistry, we recognise the importance of addressing these concerns and provide a safer and effective process for amalgam removal.
Patient-Centered Approach
Our team at Evolve Dentistry understands that each patient is unique. Before initiating the amalgam removal process, we conduct a thorough examination, considering the patient’s overall health, dental history, and any existing health conditions.
Mercury Vapour Protection
The removal of amalgam fillings can release mercury vapour into the air. To ensure the safety of our patients and staff, Evolve Dentistry use specialist suction around the tooth being, filtering mercury vapour during the removal process.
Nutritional Support
Recognising that the body’s ability to detoxify is crucial, Evolve Dentistry provides advice on nutritional support before and after amalgam removal. This holistic approach aims to enhance the body’s natural detoxification processes, supporting the overall health of our patients.
Preparation
Before the removal procedure, our team takes precautionary measures to minimise mercury exposure. This includes the use of protective barriers called rubber dam, mercury vapour filtration systems, and damp gauzes being applied to the eyes to avoid mucosal absorption.
Safe Removal Techniques
Evolve Dentistry employs safe removal techniques endorsed by organisations such as the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). This involves minimising the generation of mercury vapour through precise cutting and sectioning of the amalgam filling.
Biocompatible Replacement
Following the safe removal of amalgam fillings, we select the most biocompatible materials currently available for dental restorations, such as Admira Fusion composite or ceramic alternatives.
Post-Removal Detoxification Support
To support the body’s natural detoxification processes, Evolve Dentistry provides guidance on post-removal protocols, including nutritional supplements.
Please note that we only offer amalgam removal following this protocol if specifically requested by the patient.
At Evolve Dentistry, we believe in empowering our patients to make informed decisions about their oral health. Amalgam removal is a vital step towards achieving a more biocompatible and metal-free smile. Our commitment to patient-centred care, advanced technologies, and a holistic approach sets us apart as a trusted partner in your journey to optimal dental wellness. If you’re considering amalgam removal, book a consultation with us today to find out more.

Book An Introduction Call Clear aligners or fixed braces - which is better?
Which is better - clear aligners or fixed braces?
Neither.
At least, not until we know more about you.
The right orthodontic treatment depends on your teeth, what you`d like to change, your lifestyle and a number of clinical considerations.
For some people, clear aligners can be a great option. For others, fixed braces may be more appropriate.
So rather than starting with:
“Which braces do you want?”
We`d much rather start with:
“What would you like to change about your smile?”

💚 £338 raised for Macmillan Cancer Support! 💚
We had such a lovely time at our Macmillan Coffee Morning last week. ☕🍰
A huge thank you to everyone who popped into the practice, enjoyed a slice of cake, had a chat and made a donation. It was wonderful to see so many of our patients, friends and members of the local community getting involved, and we were genuinely touched by everyone’s generosity.
Together, you helped us raise an amazing £169.
And we’re delighted to share that Carol has very generously matched every pound raised, bringing our final total to…
🥁 £338 for Macmillan Cancer Support! 💚
Thank you to our brilliant team for baking, organising and keeping the cake table well stocked, and to every single person who helped make the day such an enjoyable one.
Days like this remind us just how lovely the community around Evolve really is. 💚

Being shortlisted for Team of the Year means a lot to us, but not because of the trophy.
It’s because dentistry is never the work of one person.
It’s the nurse who notices you’re nervous before you’ve said a word. The reception team member who remembers the conversation you had last time. The clinician who takes time to explain something again. The person behind the scenes making sure your visit runs smoothly.
Those small things happen every day at Evolve, and they only happen because people care about the experience we create together.
So being a finalist gives us a lovely excuse to say something we probably don’t say often enough: we’re incredibly proud of this team.

You might notice a familiar face missing from Evolve for a little while… 💚
Carol is heading to Zambia with SmileStar, a dental charity providing free dental care to communities with limited access to treatment.
In this video, Carol shares a little more about where she’s going, what she’ll be doing while she’s there and why she wanted to be part of the trip.
It’s going to be a very different couple of weeks away from the practice, and we’re incredibly proud to see Carol giving her time and skills to support SmileStar’s work.
We’ll be sharing a little more from her trip when we can, but for now, we’ll let Carol tell you all about it in her own words. 💚
Safe travels, Carol. We can’t wait to hear all about it when you’re home!
