FLOSS DENTAL

Removing Amalgam Fillings

Replace old silver fillings with healthy, natural-looking restorations that last.

Why Consider Removing Amalgam Fillings?

Over time silver fillings can expand, crack or leak. This may lead to:

Small fractures in the tooth structure
Dark discoloration or shadowing
Sensitivity or recurring decay

At FLOSS we provide safe amalgam removal using the most advanced protocols available. Your old mercury fillings are replaced with durable, tooth-colored composite that blends seamlessly with your smile. It all happens so fast you look up and there’s a whole new you.

How Our Safe Amalgam Removal Process Works

We follow the SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) guidelines to protect both you and our clinical team. This process includes:

Isolation of the tooth with a protective dam and barrier
Sectioning the filling into smaller pieces for easy removal
High-volume suction to capture mercury particles
Air filtration to keep the treatment area clean
Immediate placement of a composite filling for strength and aesthetics

When is it Time to Replace a Silver Filling?

Not every amalgam filling needs removal right away. We check for:

Gaps or wear along the edges
Cracks in the surrounding tooth
Signs of corrosion or breakdown
Sensitivity or new decay under the filling

If replacement is needed most treatments are completed in a single visit.
