All amalgam free dentists ensure these amalgam fillings alternatives to resolve your oral condition.

Why Amalgam Free Practice?

The Dental Suite provides amalgam free practice because of the serious health and dental problems caused by mercury mix fillings. When amalgam wears, it releases small amounts of mercury in the form of vapour.

• Amalgam fillings can have various negative effects on overall health.
• Mercury in Amalgam gives allergic reactions to many people.
• The dentists advise pregnant women not to get amalgam fillings during pregnancy.
• Also, amalgam does not expand as the natural material of your teeth. This can lead to cracking and decay in the tooth.
• It is better to have natural-looking, tooth-colour fillings rather than metal fillings in your teeth.

Amalgam fillings removal

If you have mercury allergy or any other problem, consult your dentist. Amalgam fillings can be removed by high-speed evacuation system so that you do not inhale them when the fillings are being removed.
