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.
