Mercury (amalgam) Removal

Mercury Filling Removal

Smile Cliniq offers painless mercury filling removal treatments, replacing metal fillings with white composite restorations or porcelain onlays or crowns, if strength is required.

Patients are increasingly requesting amalgam or mercury filling removal for four main reasons:

Health benefits: certain patients find that they do not react well to mercury, and there has been much debate as to the health effects of mercury fillings, and it has been found that amalgam fillings release small amounts of mercury in the form of vapour as the filling wears. For many patients, mercury filling removal is chosen to eliminate the possibility of negative effects to their health.
Cosmetic: patients generally do not like the look of black/silver fillings when they smile and hence are increasingly looking into replacing silver fillings with white ones that are closer to the natural shade of their teeth and aren’t noticeable.
Sensitivity: Old aged mercury fillings can cause failure and leakage, that can lead to dental sensitivity and secondary decays.
Metal taste: Can occasionally generate a battery effect on adjacent teeth with different metal fillings, causing a metal taste in the your mouth.

More about amalgam fillings

There has been a general reduction in the use of amalgam fillings in the UK over the past few years, which is in our opinion a very positive step in the right direction, and from 2018 EU countries made it illegal to use amalgam fillings altogether in children. There are increasing concerns and awareness of the effects of mercury fillings on general health. Mercury/ amalgam fillings comprise of 50% mercury and are ‘amalgamated’ with tin and silver. It was previously thought that was ‘locked in’ to amalgam. This has proved not to be the case.
