What to Expect
When you visit Cedar Creek Dentist for mercury filling removal, our team follows strict safety standards to protect your health throughout the procedure. We begin by isolating the tooth and using specialized suction and filtration systems to minimize any mercury exposure. Your old amalgam filling is carefully sectioned and removed in small pieces to reduce vapor release.
Once the mercury filling is removed, the area is thoroughly cleaned and prepared for a new, tooth-colored composite filling. This modern material not only enhances the natural look of your smile but also provides a strong, durable seal to protect your tooth from further decay. Our gentle, precise approach ensures your experience is safe, comfortable, and beneficial for your long-term oral health.

FAQs
Is mercury filling removal safe?
A. Yes. At Cedar Creek Dentist, we use advanced safety protocols to ensure mercury filling removal is completely safe. Our team uses isolation barriers, high-vacuum suction, and air filtration systems to minimize mercury exposure during the procedure.
Why should I replace my silver amalgam fillings?
A. Old silver fillings can crack, leak, or cause tooth discoloration over time. Replacing them with mercury-free, tooth-colored fillings improves the strength, appearance, and overall health of your teeth. Composite fillings also bond better to natural enamel and contain no metal.
What happens after the mercury fillings are removed?
A. Once the amalgam is safely removed, your dentist will clean the area and replace it with a composite resin filling that matches your natural tooth color. The result is a healthier, more attractive smile with long-lasting protection and a completely metal-free restoration.
