Mercury Amalgam Filling Removal

No More Metal Fillings!

If your teeth are scarred with metal fillings, the damage could be more than cosmetic. Metal fillings are made with an amalgam that contains trace amounts of mercury, a harmful heavy metal. Some people are highly sensitive to mercury, even at small levels. The good news is, Dr. Dory and Dr. Khalida Stutman can safely remove your mercury fillings and replace them with metal-free, tooth-colored composite resin fillings. Your smile will be renewed to its natural, all-white beauty, and you won’t have to worry about old, leaking mercury fillings that could harm your health.

Composite resin is a modern marvel. It’s a plastic that looks and feels like tooth structure. Dr. Dory and Dr. Khalida Stutman will custom-tint liquid composite to match the color of your damaged tooth. If we are replacing amalgam fillings, the doctor will take special precautions for removal so that you and our team are not harmed by the mercury in the old fillings. We will prepare your tooth for the new filling, insert the liquid resin into the cavity, then cure (harden) the material with a cool, soft light.

The doctor will check your bite to ensure the new filling fits well with surrounding teeth, then sculpt the new filling, if necessary. You’ll leave our Massapequa dental office with new confidence in your appearance and a mercury-free smile. Call today to reserve your appointment or consultation with Dr. Dory and Dr. Khalida Stutman. We’ll set you on the road to a beautiful, healthy smile!
