Safe Removal of Amalgam Fillings

Why Remove Amalgam Fillings?

Amalgam (silver) fillings have been widely used in dentistry for decades, but they contain mercury, which has raised concerns among some patients. While health authorities consider amalgam safe, many people choose to replace these fillings for aesthetic reasons, potential allergies, or personal preference for mercury-free alternatives. At Drs Demajo Dental Clinics, we provide the safe removal and replacement of amalgam fillings, following strict protocols to protect your health.

Our Safe Amalgam Removal Process

Our clinic follows the SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) approach to ensure minimal exposure to mercury vapors during the removal process. Here’s what to expect:

1. Protective Measures
2. Gentle Sectioning of the Filling
3. Continuous Water Irrigation
4. Advanced Air Filtration & Ventilation

Biocompatible, Mercury-Free Alternatives

Once the amalgam filling is removed, we replace it with safe, durable, and natural-looking alternatives, such as:

• Composite resin – A strong, tooth-coloured filling material.
• Porcelain inlays/onlays – For added strength and aesthetics.
• Ceramic crowns – Ideal for larger restorations with a natural finish.

With years of expertise in holistic and advanced dentistry, Dr. Jean Paul Demajo and our skilled team prioritise patient safety, comfort, and long-lasting dental health. Our approach ensures a minimally invasive and mercury-free transition for healthier teeth and a brighter smile.
