Frequently Asked Questions
Your path to a healthier smile starts with clarity. Find the answers you need to move forward with confidence.
Why would I need my amalgam fillings removed?
Many patients choose to replace amalgam fillings due to concerns about mercury content, appearance, or filling breakdown over time. Modern alternatives offer better aesthetics and materials that bond more securely to the natural tooth.
Is amalgam removal safe?
Yes, when performed properly by trained professionals. At Lifetime Smiles, we use careful techniques, including isolation systems and suction protocols, to minimize any exposure during the removal process.
What materials are used to replace amalgam fillings?
We primarily use composite resin or porcelain restorations. These options are durable, natural-looking, and bond directly to the tooth structure for added strength and protection.
Will my new fillings look natural?
Absolutely. Composite fillings and porcelain restorations are shaded to match your surrounding teeth, making your restoration virtually invisible for a seamless, natural smile.
How long does the amalgam removal and replacement process take?
Most amalgam removal and replacement treatments can be completed in a single visit, depending on the number of fillings being replaced. More extensive cases may require a second appointment for best results.
