Fillings are used to restore teeth damaged by decay back to their original shapes, thus allowing them to function normally. When you come to Upper Avenue Dentistry to get a filling, Dr. Margel will first remove the decayed material, clean the damaged area, and then fill out the cavity with a filling material.
At Upper Avenue Dentistry we use the most up-to-date and strongest tooth coloured restorations blended in flawlessly with your natural shade. We provide amalgam-free, mercury-free treatment.
Amalgam Removal
At Upper Avenue Dentistry your health is our top priority. When an amalgam ("silver filling") restoration must be removed, we aim to limit your exposure to mercury as much as possible by taking the following precautions:
- Certified amalgam removal HVAC suction
- Dental dam isolation to prevent silver/mercury from being ingested
- 100% oxygen with mask given to prevent micro particles of silver/mercury from being inhaled
- Recommend taking 1000mg vitamin C the night before the procedure
