Carol is very experienced in amalgam removal and follows strict clinical protocols to ensure the treatment is carried out safely and effectively.
We can only follow this protocol if you request it.
Amalgam is a commonly used filling material that contains an amalgamation of mercury and various other metals including zinc, silver and copper.
At Evolve Dentistry our experience has told us that the majority of our patients are in favour of amalgam free, tooth coloured fillings. Advances in dentistry have led to improved alternative materials to amalgam, resulting in a more natural smile.
Safety is our main concern when conducting dental amalgam removal. We want, at all times, to keep the exposure to amalgam to a minimum. Therefore, we follow a strict protocol that includes:

After amalgam removal, we place a white filling, porcelain inlay or crown. This will be discussed with you during the initial consultation.
Each case is unique, and we tailor treatment plans to individual needs. After the initial consultation you will be sent an estimate in the post that will detail all costs. An up to date price list can be found on our web site.
No improvement or change in health can be guaranteed by removal of amalgam fillings.
Take a look at the International Academy of oral medicine and technology to find out more about dental mercury facts.
Activated charcoal is a powder that is mixed with water and you just drink it like any other drink. It is recommended that it is drunk quite quickly as it does not dissolve in the water, it is just in suspension so if you take a long time to drink it, it will become a sludge in the bottom of the cup.

“How long will it take?” 🤔
It’s one of the first questions we hear from patients considering teeth straightening - and the honest answer is that every smile is different.
Some patients achieve their desired results in as little as six months, while more complex cases may take longer. The good news is that modern orthodontic treatment is carefully planned from the start, so you’ll have a clear idea of what to expect before treatment begins.
At Evolve Dentistry, we’ll assess your smile, discuss your goals and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to you.
Whether you’re looking to correct crowding, close gaps or improve the overall appearance of your smile, the journey may be shorter than you think.

At Evolve, we know that looking after your wellbeing is an important part of living a happy, healthy life.
So, here’s our question:

A smile says more than words ever could.
We’re delighted to share this patient’s smile transformation with Dr Richard Ford. Every treatment journey is unique, but the goal is always the same - helping our patients feel confident when they smile.
Seeing the happiness and confidence at the end of treatment is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.
