Protected amalgam removal

Old amalgam — safely removed

Amalgam contains mercury. Drilling it out can create vapours and the finest particles — that's why we only remove old fillings with a consistent protection protocol for you, us and the environment.

Why with protection?

Care matters precisely during removal

As long as amalgam sits firmly in the tooth, the exposure is low. The critical phase is drilling it out. With the right protective measures we keep the exposure as low as possible.

Our protection protocol

How we protect you

1

Rubber dam

A protective sheet completely separates the tooth from the oral cavity — particles and shavings don't get into the mouth.

2

Double suction with mercury filter

A clean-up suction is placed directly over the tooth in the mouth and captures vapours and particles. In addition, an external extraction with a mercury filter works — similar to an extractor hood.

3

Protection from inhaling

A protective mask (gold mask) or a separate air supply prevents mercury vapour from being inhaled while breathing.

4

Algae insert after removal

An insert (e.g. chlorella algae) in the tooth binds residual mercury before the new restoration.

After

Metal-free replacement

After removal we restore the tooth with a body-compatible, metal-free solution — e.g. a ceramic filling or an inlay.

Whether and when an amalgam removal makes sense, we discuss individually with you — without pressure.

"What needs to come out, we remove as cleanly as possible — to protect your body."
