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.

Today is World Environment Day 🌍

At Evolve Dentistry, we’re always looking at ways we can reduce our environmental impact while continuing to provide high-quality patient care.

Over the years, we’ve introduced a number of changes within the practice 

🦷 Using digital scanners instead of traditional impressions 
📄 Reducing paper usage through digital systems and communication
☕ Choosing paper cups rather than plastic alternatives
🌱 Using environmentally friendly materials and products where we can

Modern dentistry is constantly evolving, and we believe small changes can make a big difference over time.

Thank you to our patients for supporting a practice that is always striving to improve - not just for our patients, but for the environment too. 💚

Did you know that snoring can affect more than just your sleep? 😴

In this video, Maggie explains how snoring and mouth breathing can lead to a dry mouth - which may increase the risk of tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath.

Saliva plays an important role in protecting your teeth and gums, so when your mouth becomes dry overnight, it can have a bigger impact on your oral health than many people realise.

If you struggle with snoring, waking with a dry mouth, or persistent bad breath, it may be worth speaking to a dentist.

As Smile Month comes to a close, we’ve loved celebrating 50 years of promoting healthy smiles 🦷✨

The message behind Smile Month is simple, but important:
✔ Brush well
✔ Clean between your teeth
✔ Visit your dentist regularly
✔ Look after your overall health too

Prevention is always better than cure, and small consistent habits can make a huge difference over time.

Thank you for following along with our Smile Month posts this year - and thank you for continuing to support our practice and our team 💙

Here’s to many more healthy smiles to come.

Years of teeth grinding had left Mandy unhappy with the appearance of her teeth - so she came to see Richard to explore her options.

Using carefully planned composite bonding, we were able to restore her smile while improving the worn appearance caused by grinding, helping her feel more confident again. ✨

In this video, Mandy shares her experience and why she decided to go ahead with treatment at Evolve Dentistry.

If you’ve noticed wear, chipping or shortening of your teeth from grinding or clenching, there may be options available to help protect and improve your smile.

Confidence can change everything - and sometimes, the smallest changes to your smile can make the biggest difference to how you feel day to day.

Whether it’s hiding your smile in photos, covering your mouth when you laugh, or simply not feeling like the best version of yourself, cosmetic dentistry can help you feel more comfortable and confident again.

At Evolve Dentistry, we take the time to understand what matters to you and create natural-looking results that still feel like you.

If you’ve been thinking about improving your smile, we’d love to help you explore your options. ✨

There’s nothing better than hearing how much more confident a patient feels after Invisalign treatment 💙

In this video, our lovely patient shares her experience with Invisalign treatment with Yasmin at Evolve Dentistry, and how supported she felt throughout the process by our kind and considerate team.

Straightening your teeth is about so much more than appearances – it’s about feeling confident when you smile, laugh and look in the mirror.
