Mercury Isolation During Dental Filling Removal
Because mercury vapor can be released during amalgam filling removal, Dr. Sekhon takes special steps to ensure isolation of mercury particles and vapors during the procedure. These safety measures protect patients from mercury exposure during the removal process. When we remove your metal amalgam filling, we place a white composite filling or dental crown in its place. This gives you a restoration that matches the natural color of your teeth and blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
