Safe Mercury Filling Removal in Philadelphia

At Presidential Dental, your safety comes first. Rest assured, we avoid using mercury in any of our fillings and implement meticulous procedures to ensure their safe amalgam removal.

Your well-being is our top concern during the removal of your mercury fillings.

We prioritize your safety during mercury filling removal. Our team wears protective gear and utilizes advanced tools like rubber dams and vacuums to trap harmful particles and vapors.

Additionally, patients receive clean oxygen for added protection. To minimize mercury release, we use cool water and cut the filling into chunks before drilling.

Afterward, the area is rinsed with chlorella or charcoal slurry to eliminate any residue, ensuring your health and safety.

While appearing silver, amalgam fillings contain 50% mercury, a hazardous metal known to cause lasting neurological harm to your brain and nervous system.

Traditional removal methods often lead to inhaling or ingesting mercury particles or gas, posing risks to both patients and dental staff . . . that’s why we implement specialized protocols to minimize exposure and safeguard everyone’s well-being.

Mercury amalgam fillings don’t bond to teeth, resulting in potential leakage and bacterial infiltration, leading to underlying issues like decay.

At Presidential Dental, our fillings resemble natural teeth and chemically bond to protect against decay. We prioritize safe removal of old mercury amalgam fillings, replacing them with healthier, natural-looking alternatives.
