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.

I had the absolute pleasure. Yes pleasure! of an appointment with Aarifa Hussain today. I’m not great with dental treatments at the best of times. I didn’t even feel the local anaesthetic go in. Throughout the whole procedure I was checked on to ensure I felt safe and comfortable. I’ve seen various different dentists at Green Park and Aarifa surpasses them all. The attention to detail is incredible. I even had before and after photos explaining exactly what had been done. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Aarifa to anyone who’s wary of dental treatments. 100% all round service from all the team. Thank you

Usually struggle with discomfort despite the hygienists here always being so kind, gentle and accommodating. Today however they used the new 'Airflow GBT' and wow, I was relaxed the whole appointment! Thank you ever so much Laura and Heather - I shall no longer feel nervous for hygienist appointments!

I was seen swiftly and had everything explained to me. The dentist made sure I was comfortable and gave me time to sort stuff out like a sudden cough.

I worked at Green park dental practice for 16 years as a hygienist and I return every 6 months for examination and always feel welcome and I was helped up and down the stairs as I am having a hip replacement in a few days and using a walking stick and felt grateful

I have always gone to Green Park and will continue to do so where possible. The staff have always been welcoming and friendly and the practice itself is lovely. My dentist Aarifa is incredible and I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Emergency appointment for an abscess with Dr Aarifa Hussain. I was treated with a high level of care, patience and encouragement throughout a painful episode needing antibiotics, and abscess drainage. Dr Hussain took the extra step of following up with an after care email and 6pm phone call to check how I was doing. My subsequent treatment was delivered with the same attention to detail. She is a fantastic dentist. I completely recommend Dr Hussain.

I have been with Green Park for a couple of years now under Sherry Mowla's care, and I have to say I am most pleased. The quality of treatment and advice I have received has surpassed the expectations set by the pricing. As someone who was skeptical at first due to much less recommendable experiences at other practices throughout my years, I can happily say that you will be treated with respect and care here, at least as a patient of Sherry's.
