Remove Your Mercury Fillings for Better Aesthetics & Health
Chances are that if you have an old filling that it was filled with a “silver” amalgam filling. But did you know that your “silver” filling is actually 45-55% metallic mercury? And, as we know, mercury is toxic.
​
That’s why when an old silver-mercury filling is failing, Dr. Wych replaces it with tooth-colored restorations with no metal. Mercury fillings are also removed for aesthetic reasons to replace them with white composite fillings. However, many dentists do it without regard for the possible additional mercury exposure to the patient
Safe Mercury Removal
​
In order to prevent this additional mercury exposure, the IAOMT (International Academy of Oral Medicine and Technology) recommends that patients should find a dentist properly trained in mercury filling removal.
​
Patients come to Dr. Wych from across the Midlands and beyond to safely replace their old fillings, following the guidelines from the IAOMT (International Academy of Oral Medical Toxicologists). These guidelines ensure that the materials and procedures used in dentistry should not adversely affect the rest of the body.

Mercury Free Dentistry​

The IAOMT has developed a protocol to minimize the exposure that patients receive when the mercury/silver (amalgam) fillings are removed. Dr. Wych uses a rubber dam, special high speed evacuation and safety glasses to protect patients during mercury filling removal. Dr. Wych has the experience and training to do mercury and amalgam removal quickly with minimal amount of discomfort and exposure. If you have old mercury fillings in your mouth, call Dr. Wych and discuss your options for having them removed.
