Amalgam Removal
In order for Amalgam removal to be safe, no one be exposed to the mercury when removing mercury/silver fillings from the mouth. That means that both the patient must be protected and the dental personnel as well. To safely remove the amalgam, Apsen Dental House creates a strong air flow vacuum used to create a separation from the metal and it's gasses. Due to effects of drilling, the amalgam from the tooth creates a "mud" as well as aerosal gases. It is important that they are not inhailed or swallowed.
Aspen Dental House uses porcelain and composite fillings as an alternative to metal.

Composite (plastic) resins are custom made to the exact color of your natural teeth, creating a more natural appearance. While white fillings may be less noticeable than other materials, they usually only last between 3 and 10 years. They may not be ideal for large fillings as they may chip or wear over time. They can also become stained from coffee, tea or tobacco.
-
Porcelain fillings are called inlays or onlays and are custom created in a lab and then bonded to the tooth. They can be matched to the color of the tooth, resist staining, and are about the same cost as gold fillings. A porcelain restoration generally covers most of the tooth, making the filling nearly undetectable.
