Amalgam Replacements - Killam, AB
Upgrade Your Teeth and Prevent Health Risks
with Safe Amalgam Filling Removal
Go From Toxic Silver to Tooth-Colored Composite
with Mercury Filling Removal
Dental amalgam is a mixture of metals, consisting of liquid (elemental) mercury and a powdered alloy composed of silver, tin, and copper.
Although amalgam fillings (sometimes called silver fillings) have been used for more than 150 years in hundreds of millions of patients around the world, far safer and more attractive composite has largely replaced them. By weight, about 50% of dental amalgam is elemental mercury, so at Ball Family Dental, we offer safe mercury filling removal in Killam, AB, to prevent health repercussions.

Safe Mercury Fillings Removal in Killam, AB That You Can Trust
Many practices simply drill out old fillings and replace them with tooth-coloured composite, thereby releasing potentially hazardous mercury vapours. At Ball Family Dental, we follow the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) developed by the International Academy of Oral Medicine & Toxicology.
During safe amalgam filling removal, protective measures such as rubber dams and high-volume suction are used to minimize exposure to mercury particles and vapour. In addition, the amalgam is sectioned into chunks and removed in as large pieces as possible.
