Why Consider Replacing an Amalgam Filling?
Old silver-coloured amalgam fillings can become worn, fractured, loose or leaky over time. They also contain mercury. If you are considering replacing an existing amalgam filling, we can assess the condition of your tooth and discuss modern, tooth-coloured alternatives.
You want a healthier option! Here are circumstances where replacement may be appropriate:
- A healthier, mercury-free alternative
- An old filling is worn, fractured, loose or leaking
- Decay is developing around or underneath the restoration
- The surrounding tooth has become cracked or weakened
- You prefer a natural-looking, tooth-coloured restoration
- You prefer a metal-free restorative option
- Your dentist recommends replacement because of the condition of the tooth or filling
- Peace of mind with a holistic approach
How We Remove Amalgam Fillings Safely
Your dentist's step-by-step protocol for careful amalgam removal and tooth restoration.
Assessment & Preparation
Tooth examination, X-rays and a suitability check before treatment.
Safe Isolation
A rubber dam and high-volume suction help protect your mouth and capture debris and vapours.
Careful Amalgam Removal
The filling is sectioned into small pieces to minimise drilling and safely remove the amalgam.
Restore the Tooth
This may include a tooth-Bpa and Fluoride Free ceramic filling or a ceramic or porcelain restoration.
Final Polish & Aftercare
Your bite is checked, the filling is polished for a natural finish, and you'll receive aftercare guidance.

Questions
Safe Amalgam Removal FAQs
Is amalgam removal safe?
Yes — when performed using proper isolation and suction techniques. We follow a strict safety protocol.
Will amalgam removal hurt?
The procedure is carried out using local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable. For nervous or anxious patients, we can also use The Wand®, a computer-controlled anaesthetic system designed to deliver local anaesthetic slowly and gently, often with less discomfort than a traditional injection. Our team will take the treatment at a pace that helps you feel relaxed and in control.
How long does the treatment take?
Usually 20–45 minutes per tooth, depending on size.
What will my tooth look like afterwards?
We use tooth-coloured materials that blend naturally with your smile.
Do I need to replace all amalgam fillings at once?
No — we can create a personalised, phased treatment plan. Having too many removed at once is not good for most people.
What will replace my amalgam filling?
This depends on the size of the existing filling and how much healthy tooth remains. Smaller restorations may be suitable for a tooth-coloured composite material, while larger or more heavily restored teeth may benefit from a ceramic or porcelain inlay, onlay or other restoration. Dr Singh will explain the options following your assessment.
