Safe Amalgam Removal

Many people still have amalgam (silver/mercury) fillings in their mouths from years past. As long as these restorations are intact, they can stay in your mouth. However, these fillings are not particularly pleasing to the eye, and we respect our patients' desires to replace them with tooth-colored restorations. Broken/ cracked amalgam fillings ultimately result in a weaker tooth structure and can lead to extensive decay. Broken amalgam fillings should be replaced as soon as possible.

Replacing It With A Tooth-Coloured Restoration

Depending on the extent of decay (cavities) present, the complete restoration of your tooth usually requires one office visit. During this visit, we will remove the decay and fill your tooth with a resin-based composite (BPA free) which matches your natural teeth. Composite restorations are bonded to your tooth structure and mimic the qualities of natural teeth.

When A Large Silver Filling Needs More Than A Filling

When cavities are very large in a tooth, and a significant portion of the tooth structure has broken away, or we are replacing a very large silver filling, porcelain inlays are a more appropriate treatment than composite fillings. Inlays provide additional protection of the remaining tooth structure of a heavily damaged tooth. The results are natural looking teeth and a beautiful smile! This procedure process requires two appointments.
