Today, many patients make a conscious decision to have their amalgam fillings replaced with high-quality alternatives because they want to avoid potential exposure to mercury and make their teeth metal-free. At our dental practice in 1050 Vienna, we offer solutions that are not only biologically compatible but also barely distinguishable from natural tooth structure. Professional amalgam replacement therefore combines medical safety with a natural appearance.
Safe amalgam replacement in Vienna
If an old amalgam filling becomes brittle or is to be replaced for health reasons, particular care is required. Proper amalgam removal should never be carried out without appropriate protective measures to prevent mercury vapour from being inhaled or swallowed. At our practice in 1050 Vienna, we carry out amalgam removal under strict safety precautions in order to protect your teeth in the long term and to minimise any burden on your health. A suitable amalgam replacement then ensures that your tooth is once again stable and soundly sealed. Every treatment is planned individually and tailored precisely to your dental situation.
Benefits of our amalgam replacement
Modern materials offer numerous advantages over conventional amalgam fillings. While a conventional amalgam filling darkens over time and can weaken the tooth, modern amalgam replacement stands out for its stability and aesthetics. To ensure that this result lasts in the long term, quality assurance comes first at our practice.
At Dr. Hussein's practice, you benefit from the following advantages of holistic and biological amalgam removal:
- Thorough dental examination
- Safe amalgam removal under controlled conditions with special protective measures
- Gentle handling of the existing tooth structure
- Natural aesthetics, attractive tooth-coloured materials
- Individual selection of the right filling material
- Metal-free, biocompatible fillings
- Lasting stabilisation of the treated tooth
- No risk of a metallic taste or discolouration
- Improved function & bite stability
- Ideal for allergies or intolerances to amalgam
Why an old amalgam filling should be replaced
There are various reasons why amalgam replacement makes sense. From a holistic perspective, we generally recommend removal in order to reduce the heavy metal burden on the body. Sometimes there are also aesthetic wishes, and often there is a medical need behind it. Over time, fine gaps can form at the edge of an old amalgam filling, in which decay develops unnoticed. In addition, an untreated, defective filling can cause further problems:
- Cracks in the tooth enamel due to expansion of the material / leaking or damaged fillings
- Metallic taste in the mouth
- Occurrence of functional complaints
- Allergies or intolerances
- Dark discolouration of the whole tooth
- Aesthetic impairment when you smile
How amalgam removal works at Dr. Hussein's practice
At our dental practice in 1050 Vienna, amalgam replacement follows a clearly defined procedure:
- Diagnosis: We check the condition of your fillings and plan the replacement.
- Protective measures: For safe amalgam removal, we take all necessary precautions to minimise exposure.
- Removal: The old amalgam filling is removed carefully, using powerful suction.
- Preparation: The tooth is cleaned thoroughly and prepared for the new, amalgam-free filling.
- Placement: Depending on your wishes, we choose high-quality fillings made of composite or ceramic (inlays).
- Fine adjustment & check: The new filling is adjusted precisely to your bite and polished.
Duration, durability & aftercare
How long amalgam replacement takes depends on the number and size of the old amalgam fillings. Modern fillings are durable, stable and colourfast. With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, they can last for many years.
We will be happy to advise you on care, durability and possible alternatives such as inlays or ceramic fillings.
