Welcome to a new era of dentistry, where your health and safety come first.

Safe removal procedure

Removal of amalgam fillings must be performed following strict protocols to minimize exposure to mercury. At our clinic, we use advanced techniques including the use of protective barriers, high-powered suction systems, nasal oxygen, and specialized air filters to ensure the safety of our patients and staff during the procedure.

Alternative materials to amalgam fillings

Today, there are safer and more aesthetic alternatives to amalgam fillings, such as composite resins. These materials are not only safe and durable, but they can also be colored to match the natural shade of your teeth, offering a superior aesthetic result. You should know that it is most recommended that they be Bis-GMA-free resins.

Is it painful? How long does it take to change them?

Many patients express concern about the pain and duration of the procedure. We want to ensure that, with modern techniques and local anesthesia, the process is virtually painless. The duration depends on the number of fillings to be treated, but is generally completed in one or two visits.

Dental health goes beyond an aesthetic smile; It’s a window into your overall health.
