Amalgam removal

Amalgam, commonly known as mercury or silver fillings, has been used in restorative dentistry for more than 150 years. Traditional amalgam fillings are composed of about 50% mercury, blended with tin, copper, and silver. While these fillings were once the standard for repairing teeth, they eventually wear out and need replacing.

Advances in dental science have led to the development of new filling materials that look more natural and provide excellent durability. As a result, many patients now choose to replace their old amalgam fillings with modern alternatives for both aesthetic and health reasons.
