At Lifetime Dental, our commitment to your overall health begins with the materials we use. A cornerstone of our biological approach is our unwavering dedication to amalgam-free dentistry. This means you will never receive a mercury-containing filling at our clinic.
Composed of mercury, amalgam fillings are commonly called 'silver fillings.' Concerns about the potential health risks associated with mercury exposure are growing, with research suggesting possible impacts on various bodily systems. As a biological dental practice, we firmly believe that such a toxic substance has no place in your mouth or body.
Instead, we exclusively use biocompatible composite fillings. These modern, tooth-coloured restorations are mercury-free, durable and designed to bond seamlessly with your natural tooth structure. They not only provide a safe and effective solution for cavities but also blend aesthetically with your smile.
Safe Amalgam Removal in Prahran
If you currently have amalgam fillings, we understand your concerns. We offer safe and meticulous amalgam removal protocols designed to minimise your exposure to mercury vapour during the process. Our procedure follows strict guidelines to protect both you and our dental team, ensuring the old fillings are removed carefully and replaced with safer, aesthetically pleasing composite alternatives. Rest assured, amalgam removal does not hurt, as we use effective local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Choosing an amalgam-free practice is a proactive step towards a healthier you, aligning perfectly with our holistic philosophy that connects oral health with total body wellness.
