What Are Amalgam (Silver) Fillings?
For decades, silver fillings known as dental amalgam were commonly used in dentistry due to their durability. These fillings are made from a mixture of metals, including mercury, silver, tin, and copper.
While they served their purpose in the past, modern dentistry now offers safer, more aesthetic, and biocompatible alternatives. At our dental clinics in Dubai, we believe your dental care should support not only your smile but your overall wellbeing.
Today, tooth-coloured restorations allow us to restore teeth beautifully without using heavy metals.
Why Patients Are Choosing to Replace Their Silver Fillings
Concern About Mercury Exposure
Amalgam fillings contain mercury, which may release trace vapours over time during chewing, grinding, or exposure to heat. Many patients prefer to eliminate this concern completely.
Old or Weak Fillings
Over time, amalgam expands and contracts, which may lead to micro-cracks, tooth sensitivity, or fractures.
A More Natural Smile
Silver fillings are visible when you smile or speak. Tooth-coloured restorations blend seamlessly with natural teeth.
Desire for Metal-Free Dentistry
Many patients today prefer biological and holistic dentistry approaches that use biocompatible, non-metal materials.
Tooth Discolouration
Amalgam can darken surrounding tooth structure, creating grey shadows that affect smile appearance.
Our Smart Amalgam Removal Programme (SMART Protocol)
We follow a safe, controlled, and scientifically designed protocol to minimise exposure during removal.
Protective Isolation
A rubber dam isolates the tooth, preventing exposure to the oral environment.Sectional Removal Technique
Instead of drilling the entire filling, it is carefully sectioned and removed in chunks to reduce vapour release.High-Volume Suction
Continuous suction removes particles and aerosols at the source.Hg FlexVac Filtration System
An advanced filtration system captures mercury vapour and fine particles, ensuring a cleaner clinical environment.Clean Air Support
Where needed, patients receive supplemental oxygen or clean air during the procedure.Tooth-Coloured Restoration
The tooth is restored using high-quality composite or ceramic materials, carefully matched to your natural shade.
