Amalgam fillings, commonly known as silver fillings, were once a popular choice for dental restorations. However, with growing concerns over the mercury content in these fillings, many patients are opting for safe amalgam removal. At Skye Dental, we specialise in professional amalgam removal, offering a safe, mercury-free process that prioritises your health and well-being.
There are several reasons why you may be considering the removal of your amalgam fillings. For some, it’s about reducing exposure to mercury, while others seek a more aesthetically pleasing alternative. Over time, amalgam fillings can also weaken teeth, making replacement a better option for long-term dental health.
Whatever your reason, Skye Dental is here to help. We provide safe, effective, and professional amalgam removal services in Brisbane, ensuring your smile stays healthy and strong.
When it comes to amalgam removal, safety is our top priority. At Skye Dental, we follow strict protocols to minimise any risk of mercury exposure during the process. Our team uses advanced protective measures, including high-powered suction systems, rubber dams, and air filtration to ensure that the mercury vapour is effectively controlled. With our extensive experience and state-of-the-art technology, you can trust Skye Dental for professional dental filling removal in Brisbane that keeps you safe and comfortable throughout the procedure.
Amalgam removal at Skye Dental follows a step-by-step process designed to protect your health:
1. Consultation: We begin by assessing your current fillings and overall dental health to determine if removal is the best option for you.
2. Protection: During the procedure, we take all necessary precautions, using dental dams, specialised suction, and protective barriers to limit mercury exposure.
3. Removal: The amalgam is carefully removed without damaging your natural tooth structure.
4. Replacement: We replace your old fillings with modern alternatives like composite resin or porcelain, which are not only safer but also blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
5. Post-Care: After the procedure, we provide clear instructions for aftercare to ensure your recovery is smooth and stress-free.
After your amalgam fillings are safely removed, we offer a range of modern alternatives to restore your teeth. Composite resin fillings are a popular choice as they match the natural colour of your teeth, providing a subtle and durable solution. For a more long-lasting option, porcelain fillings or inlays may be recommended.At Skye Dental, we’ll work with you to choose the right replacement material that suits your dental needs and lifestyle.
At Skye Dental, we understand the concerns around mercury exposure during amalgam removal. That’s why we’ve invested in the latest technology and safety protocols to protect both our patients and our team. Our meticulous approach ensures that mercury vapour is kept to a minimum, providing peace of mind throughout the entire process.
