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.

If you’re considering replacing an amalgam filling, you may have come across the term SMART.
SMART stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique. It is a protocol designed to reduce exposure to mercury vapour and particles while an amalgam filling is being removed.
At Evolve, SMART amalgam removal is available for adults who have made an informed decision to replace their amalgam fillings.
Importantly, we don’t suggest that everyone should have their amalgam fillings removed, and we don’t make claims that removing them will improve your general health.
Swipe through for a simple explanation of what the SMART approach involves.

If you’ve never visited Evolve before, here’s a little look around.
We know that walking into a new dental practice can feel daunting, particularly if it’s been a while since your last appointment.
We’ve designed Evolve to feel calm, welcoming and a little different from what you might expect from a dental practice.
But the most important part isn’t the building. It’s how you’re made to feel when you’re here.
Come in, make yourself comfortable in our patient lounge and let us look after you.

Gum disease can be surprisingly easy to overlook.
Bleeding when you brush, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath or gums that seem to be receding are all things worth paying attention to.
The important thing is not to wait until something hurts. Gum disease can develop without causing pain, which is one reason regular dental and hygiene appointments matter.
In this short video, Yasmin explains some of the signs to look out for.
If you’ve noticed a change in your gums, mention it at your next appointment or get in touch with the team.

🦷 Day one, first clinic!
Carol has sent us the first photos from her trip — and what a first day it’s been!
Working alongside five other dentists, the team saw an incredible 197 patients in just one day. ❤️
In Carol’s words:
“I’ve taken out more teeth today than I have in the past year!”
A very different day in dentistry from the ones Carol is used to back home at Evolve, and a reminder of just how much need there is for the care the team is providing.
We’re so proud of her — and we’ll be sharing more updates and photos from Carol’s trip as they come in. 🌍🦷

Ever run your tongue over your teeth and wonder why they suddenly feel rough?
There are a few possible reasons, from plaque build-up to changes in the surface of a tooth.
In this short video, Yasmin explains some of the common causes and when it’s worth mentioning it to your dentist.
Noticing small changes in your mouth is useful. You don’t need to diagnose them yourself, but do tell us if something feels different.
