Amalgam removal

Serving patients throughout Bath and surrounding areas

For more than 150 years amalgam has been used to repair millions of teeth across the world, but advanced dental techniques and materials have led to an increasing number of patients requesting their traditional fillings are replaced with a more modern and subtle alternative.

How amalgam removal works

While existing amalgam fillings are durable and safe, many people are now looking to replace their traditional fillings with a mercury-free composite that will blend seamlessly with the natural tooth. In many cases this is a straightforward process but before any treatment your dentist will need to examine your teeth to assess whether amalgam removal is in your best interest.

While the level of mercury in amalgam is very low when it is set into the tooth, removing the filling has the potential to increase exposure levels. During the removal process we use specific tools and techniques to shield the surrounding area, reduce contact time with loose amalgam and keep any risks to an absolute minimum.

Supplements such as Vitamin C, activated charcoal and selenium are associated with removing mercury build up, and these can be taken in the weeks leading up to amalgam removal. Glutathione supplements may also be used for a short time after treatment. Your dentist will offer advice.

What happens next?

Once the fillings have been carefully and safely removed we will refill the tooth using a combination of glass ionomers and composite. This modern alternative to amalgam bonds directly to the tooth, is mercury free, and the end result will blend with the existing tooth for an entirely natural result.

Congratulations and well done to Dr Aarifa Hussain for her bravery . I would like to thank Dr Aarifa Hussain for her exceptional care during my tooth extraction. She was confident, professional, and reassuring throughout the procedure.Her courage and expertise helped put me at ease, and I am very grateful for the excellent treatment I received. I visited other dental clinic in London and they were scared to remove my tooth and was referred to a specialist but Dr Aarifa Hussain took the initiative and assured me that she will do it which is a real daring and challenging for Aarifa . Great achievement , inspiration and hats off . I would like to thank Nurse Anne too for her support and care . I was welcomed by the Receptionist , sorry dont know the name and all the staff very friendly and would definitely recommend my friends to visit the lovely Green Park Dental Practice in Bath

The clinicians and other staff are very kind and we’re all extremely helpful and kind when I was going through cancer treatment. The clinicians spent time carefully explaining treatment options and showed me x-rays. The hygienist carefully explained areas to focus on to prevent future problems.

The staff, clinicians and Dentist are professional and very aware of patient dental needs and comfort. I deal with ptsd still but because everything is explained and confirmed it makes the appointments a little more calm.

Every time we see Dr Aarifa she goes above and beyond. She is so gentle, explains every step clearly, and always makes the children feel comfortable. She is a truly lovely dentist, and the children are never afraid to see her and they actually look forward to their appointments.

Dr Smillie always provides excellent service. The agency dental nurse was very competent, which was a great relief.

Dr Hussain is a kind, knowledgeable and reassuring dentist. Not only does she explain all my treatment options carefully, when I have had treatments done in the past, she has taken great care to ensure I am kept safe and pain free.

Fantastic Dental Practice. For those of you who are a little nervous about going to the dentist you have nothing to worry about here. The Hygenist Lauren and Heather were brilliant and totally understanding of my nervousness. The new process they have adopted is superb as there is virtually no noise or vibration. Then Josie the Dentist was, as ever, brilliant. No dramas, no ‘ums and ahs’ completely reassuring. Great job by the whole team
