Mercury Safe Dentistry
Is Removing Mercury Safe?
If mercury fillings are removed without the proper protocol, the mercury filling material will be splattered all over you. There is a safe protocol that includes oxygen for you to breathe (instead of the mercury vapors), a rubber dam to protect you from swallowing any of the mercury filings fragments, high volume suction and drapes for your clothes.
Dr. Evans office has been mercury safe for 20 years. No mercury fillings have ever been placed in his office, so, it is safe for you. Call Donna and to talk about your mercury fillings and your health

In addition to concerns about mercury, amalgam fillings simply do not look natural. The dark silvery color stands out in your mouth, telling the world you have had a cavity. Dr. Evans uses composite resin filling materials that are Bisphenol A (BPA)-safe. This material is color-matched to your teeth, for a beautifully restored smile.
