Amalgam Removal

Amalgam, commonly known as mercury or silver fillings, has been used for restorative dentistry for more than 150 years and until recently has been the standard for filling teeth. About 50% of Amalgam is made from mercury, the rest are a mix of tin, copper and silver.

Amalgam fillings eventually wear out and need replacing. With modern scientific research, new filling materials have been developed, giving patients aesthetically better options for teeth restoration. Because of this, more people are opting to have their Amalgam removed.
