Ditch the Metal Look with Safe Mercury Filling Removal

Like most people, you probably have one or more silver fillings in your mouth. These fillings are composed of a mixture of metals and mercury. Although mercury fillings were commonly used in the past, today, dental specialists opt for safer materials like composite resin for cavity treatments. If you’re concerned about the effects of mercury on your health, you can have amalgam fillings removed and replaced with composite fillings. At Alex Bell Dental, we offer safe mercury filling removal to our patients in Centerville, Ohio, and surrounding communities.

Ditch the Metal Look with Safe Mercury Filling Removal

Risks of Mercury Fillings 

Long-term exposure to mercury poses numerous health risks. Mercury fillings can release toxic mercury vapor into your mouth when you chew or consume hard foods. Over time, you may start to feel the ill effects of mercury poisoning, with symptoms like anxiety, irritability, frequent headaches, weakness, and memory loss. 

Mercury filling removal can eliminate the risk of these and other health issues. Your Centerville dentist, Dr. Daniel Cobb, can replace your silver fillings with non-toxic, mercury- and metal-free composite resin fillings. 

Benefits of Mercury Filling Removal

If your silver amalgam fillings are old or compromised in some way, it’s to your advantage to have them replaced, as they no longer offer the cavity protection you need. Even if your mercury fillings are in good shape, you may choose to have them removed for:

  • Peace of mind – You won’t have to worry about the effects of mercury poisoning on your health
  • Better esthetics – Composite fillings blend in with your smile due to their tooth-colored appearance. You can ditch the metal look for the natural appearance of composite fillings
  • Improved health – Any symptoms of mercury poisoning will be eliminated or drastically reduced once you rid your mouth of this toxic material
