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.

What is amalgam?

Amalgam is a commonly used filling material that contains an amalgamation of mercury and various other metals including zinc, silver and copper.

Why do you remove it?

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.

How is the amalgam removed?

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:

  • Active charcoal given immediately prior to amalgam removal.
  • Oxygen delivered via a nasal mask.
  • Damp gauze applied to the eyes to avoid mucosal absorption.
  • Latex free rubber dam is used to provide a physical barrier.
  • Specialist suction used around the tooth being treated.
  • The filling sectioned out in chunks.
  • Provision of general guidelines on nutritional support.

Read more about our SMART protocol.

What is the amalgam replaced with?

After amalgam removal, we place a white filling, porcelain inlay or crown. This will be discussed with you during the initial consultation.

How much does it cost?

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.

How do I drink charcoal drink?

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.

We want to build a relationship with you, which is why we don't offer online appointment booking, we'd prefer to speak with you to ensure we give you the best possible information.

🚦 Heading to Evolve soon?

Please be aware that major roadworks connected to the new Portishead railway station are due to begin this month and may affect your journey to the practice.

From 22 June, Harbour Road will operate as a one-way system, with diversion routes in place, and from 25 June further bridge works will affect travel around Sheepway and Portbury.

We’ve shared the official diversion map below so you can plan ahead.

If you’re visiting us for an appointment, we recommend allowing a little extra time for your journey over the coming weeks.

Thinking about straightening your teeth, but worried you’ve left it too late?

You’re not alone.

One of the biggest myths we hear is that teeth straightening is only for teenagers. In reality, more adults than ever are choosing to improve their smiles with discreet orthodontic options such as Angel Aligners.

Whether you’ve always wanted straighter teeth, your teeth have shifted over time, or you’re looking to improve your confidence, modern aligner treatment can fit around your lifestyle with minimal disruption.

✔ Clear and discreet
✔ Removable for eating and brushing
✔ Comfortable to wear
✔ Suitable for many adult patients

If you’ve been considering teeth straightening, why not book a consultation and find out what’s possible for your smile?

✨ “I’m looking forward to the
path ahead of me with a perfect smile.” ✨

When Matt was just 9 years old, an accident in the
playground affected his smile and confidence for years
to come.

After deciding it was time to make a change, Matt
spent time researching practices online, looking for a
team he could trust. After reading about our awards
and patient care, he chose Evolve Dentistry to help him
achieve the smile he’d always wanted.

Using Invisalign and composite bonding, we were able
to transform Matt’s smile and give him results he’s
incredibly happy with.

Hearing how much confidence a new smile can bring is
one of the most rewarding parts of what we do, and
we’re delighted that Matt trusted us with his journey.

Watch his story and hear about his experience at
Evolve Dentistry. 🦷😁

🎉 Portishead Carnival is almost here! 🎉

We’re looking forward to joining the community and watching the fantastic Portishead Carnival parade as it makes its way through town.

The carnival is always a wonderful celebration of everything that makes Portishead special - local groups, businesses, charities and volunteers coming together to create a fantastic day for everyone to enjoy.

If you’re heading along, keep an eye out for the colourful floats, amazing costumes and plenty of community spirit. We can’t wait to see all the hard work that has gone into making this year’s parade another memorable event.

Have a wonderful carnival weekend, and if you spot any of the Evolve team along the route, be sure to say hello! 😊
