“Safe Amalgam Removal At Versailles Dental Clinic”

THE SAFE AMALGAM REMOVAL PROTOCOL

Versailles Dental Clinic’s safe amalgam removal protocol.

The first thing our team at Versailles Dental Clinic does when a patient comes in for amalgam removal is to review their medical history. We want to make sure that there are no contraindications that would make the procedure unsafe for them. After a thorough consultation

we get started with the removal process. We use a special suction device that is connected to a filter and to an amalgam separator in order to remove any excess mercury vapor and particles. The tooth is then carefully drilled out, any remaining amalgam is removed, and of course we take great care to not damage the natural tooth during this process.

Once the tooth is clean, we will then apply a composite filling material. This material is matched to the color of your natural teeth so that it blends in seamlessly. We will then shape and polish the filling so that it looks just like your natural teeth.

You can rest assured knowing that our team at Versailles Dental Clinic has extensive experience in safely removing amalgam fillings and replacing them with composite fillings. We are here to help you restore your smile back to its full glory!

The benefits of composite fillings

Composite fillings offer a number of benefits over traditional metal fillings. They are made of tooth-colored materials that blend in with your natural teeth, and they can be used to repair small cavities or chips.

Composite fillings are also less likely to crack your teeth than metal fillings, and they expand and contract at the same rate as your teeth so they are not as likely to cause problems down the road. At Versailles Dental Clinic, we offer a safe and effective amalgam removal protocol to help you replace your metal fillings with composite fillings.

Our protocol involves the use of a rubber dam to isolate the tooth being worked on, as well as special suction devices and high-speed drills to remove the old filling quickly and safely. We also use a water irrigation system to cool the tooth and ensure that no amalgam particles are left behind.

After your new composite filling is in place, we will polish it to match the rest of your teeth for a natural and beautiful finish. Contact us today to schedule an appointment!
