Mercury Amalgam Filling Removal Services
At Gallery Dental, we have many people come to us for the removal of their old, metal mercury fillings. Silver fillings, also known as amalgam fillings, are made up of an alloy containing silver, tin and mercury. The mercury content can make up as much as 50% of the total metal alloy composition.
Safety Debate Among Dental Professionals
Although there is an ongoing debate on the safety of mercury fillings among dental professionals throughout the world, many patients feel that the fillings impact their health. Some patients believe these amalgam fillings affect the function of their central nervous system.
Patient experiences with silver fillings vary significantly. Some people report that they never have problems from their silver fillings. Others experience what they perceive as tremendous health impacts from these dental restorations.
