What to know
Silver amalgam fillings are approximately 50% mercury which is released in minute amounts upon chewing and drinking. Dr. Evans believes that taking out these fillings without precautions can expose people to mercury through swallowing and breathing it in. Dr. Evans uses a stringent protocol to prevent exposure to harmful heavy metals and chemicals while restoring your teeth.
Stringent Safety Protocol

Prevents Cracked Teeth
Removing failing amalgam addresses the contraction and expansion of the metal over time that causes teeth to crack and break.
Mercury-Free Replacements
Silver fillings are replaced under a strict, mercury-free protocol with natural-looking, bonded composites.
In addition, contraction and expansion of the metal over time causes the teeth to crack and break. Micro-fractures caused by metal damage can result in fillings having to be replaced by inlays, onlays or crowns.
Did you know that most composite filling material used in dentistry contains BPA? Why is this important? Because Bisphenol A (BPA) is a known hormone disruptor. Read more to learn why health conscious patients need to know about non-metal composite fillings.
