Frequently asked questions
Is amalgam removal dangerous?
Removal can release mercury vapour. The SMART protocol includes measures to minimise exposure, and the decision requires an individual assessment.
How many fillings can be removed in one session?
We aim to remove them in one session where possible, depending on your health and the restorations involved.
What replaces the amalgam?
Tooth-coloured composite or ceramic inlays for larger cavities.
How much does it cost?
The cost depends on the number and size of the fillings and the replacement material. We provide a quote after your assessment.
