Careful Evaluation for a Tailored Approach

The first phase in the amalgam removal process at Santa Ana Family Dentistry involves a thorough assessment of your dental health and the condition of your existing amalgam fillings. Our team conducts a detailed examination to determine the best strategy for removal, considering factors like the size and location of the fillings and the overall health of the surrounding teeth and gums. This initial assessment is crucial for planning a safe and effective procedure, ensuring that we address your specific dental needs while prioritizing your health and safety.

Safe Removal of Amalgam Fillings

The actual removal of the amalgam fillings is conducted with precision and care, using specialized equipment to safeguard against mercury exposure. At Santa Ana Family Dentistry, we employ high-volume air filtration systems and other protective measures to contain and remove mercury vapors released during the procedure. Our skilled dental professionals use techniques that minimize the disturbance of the amalgam, further reducing the risk of mercury exposure. Throughout the removal process, your safety and comfort are our top priorities, ensuring a smooth and worry-free experience.

Tooth Restoration with Biocompatible Materials

Once the amalgam fillings are safely removed, the next step is to clean and prepare the tooth for a new restoration. We offer a range of biocompatible materials for restoring the tooth, including composite resins and porcelain restorations. These materials are selected for their compatibility with the body, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Composite resins blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, while porcelain restorations offer strength and resilience. Our team works with you to choose the best option to suit your dental needs and cosmetic preferences, completing the amalgam removal process by enhancing your smile with safe, attractive, and long-lasting restorations.
