Amalgam removal

Replacing old dentistry and safe amalgam removal

At Gentle Dentistry we understand that dental work does not last forever. Old restorations as well as crowns can deteriorate over time, and while they may have served you well for many years, they may no longer support the health of the tooth beneath, or provide the same level of protection for your mouth or body.

That is why we offer expert services to carefully replace outdated or worn dental work, including safe and responsible removal of amalgam (silver) fillings.

Safe amalgam removal

Many patients come to us with concerns about old amalgam fillings that contain mercury. At Gentle Dentistry, we follow strict safety protocols for amalgam removal to protect you, our team, and the environment. We utilize advanced techniques to replace old mercury amalgam fillings with modern, biocompatible materials, such as composite resin (BPA-free) and ceramics. These offer many advantages, including strengthening the tooth. Additionally, they provide a natural look, blending seamlessly with your teeth.

Over time, amalgam fillings can wear down and crack, potentially leading to further dental issues. Having more than one metal restoration in your mouth can produce a galvanic effect… corrosion due to a battery-like effect. Replacing mercury fillings can help protect your teeth, body, and improve both the function and appearance of your smile.

We have been providing exceptional care and service for individuals and families since 1984.

I wouldn’t go anywhere else

After years of poor dental hygiene, I was nervous about finding a dentist who would focus on saving my teeth rather than just replacing them. I honestly thought I would need to have multiple teeth replaced, but Gentle Dentistry Bournemouth proved otherwise.
Andrew Webster

I was really impressed from the moment I walked in

The practice creates an incredibly friendly environment and is equipped with the latest technology to deliver excellent results. I had a new patient examination with Dimi and was impressed by how thorough and comprehensive the planning was. Dimi, Dan, and the whole Gentle Dentistry team made me feel very comfortable during treatment, and their attention to detail is second to none.

They have made me feel very calm and at ease

Everyone at Gently Dentistry is extremely welcoming. The environment is great too, with a selection of music and TV channels to watch during treatment. Having recently had 4 appointments with Dimitrios, I can highly recommend him as an excellent dentist and I am very pleased with the outcome.

I have complete faith in Dan and his team

Having had a bad experience in the past, I am what you might call a nervous patient when it comes to dental work. I’ve been with Gentle Dentistry about 18 months now and have complete faith in Dan and his team. I would thoroughly recommend anyone with any fears about dentistry to give Gentle Dentistry a try, you won’t be disappointed.
