Safe Amalgam Removal in Plymouth at Mannamead Cosmetic Dental Centre

Safe Amalgam Removal in Plymouth

Amalgam (black, metal, silver) fillings contain up to 50% mercury.

Using metal-free alternatives, we can safely and easily remove these fillings and reconstruct your teeth with white fillings.

Based in Plymouth, we serve patients from across the Ocean City, including Plympton, Plymstock, Stoke Village and Derriford.

We are also a convenient choice for those travelling from Saltash, Torpoint and Ivybridge.

At Mannamead Cosmetic Dental Centre in Plymouth, we take your healthcare and concerns seriously and have designed a safe amalgam removal programme that minimises your exposure to mercury while removing old amalgam fillings.

Modern dental composite materials are a far better aesthetic alternative if you have concerns over your health and black fillings.

Contact us today if you’re looking for Safe Amalgam Removal in Plymouth.

We can safely remove several amalgam fillings in one visit. Some of the protocols we employ are:

  • Rubber Dam – A rubber sheet that isolates the teeth to be operated on to prevent amalgam from being swallowed or inhaled.
  • Oxygen – a ‘nose piece’ is worn, allowing you to breathe pure air during the procedure and protecting you from any potential inhalation of mercury vapour.
  • Vapour Extraction – our surgeries have specially designed air filtration systems that extract mercury vapour from the air in the room during the replacement procedure.
  • Pre- and post-procedure remedies are prescribed that help eliminate mercury from your body.

How much does Safe Amalgam removal in Plymouth cost?

Amalgam removal at Mannamead Cosmetic Dental Centre starts from £50 per quadrant. (Your mouth is divided into 4 “quadrants”).
