Amalgam Removal Services

Dental amalgam is a common material used to fill cavities. Fillings made with amalgam also are known as silver fillings. Over the years, concerns have been raised about the use of amalgam because it contains mercury.

Amalgam is a combination of metals that has been the most popular and effective filling material used in dentistry for the last 150 years. Although it sometimes is called “silver amalgam,” amalgam actually consists of a combination of metals. These include silver, mercury, tin and copper. Small amounts of zinc, indium or palladium also may be used.

Tooth-colored materials now can be used to restore teeth. Therefore, amalgam is used less often than in the past.

Amalgam Removal price start from RM2xx. Do contact us here for a proper consultation with our dentists!

Advantages of Amalgam Removal

Discover the Clear, Comfortable, and Convenient Way to Straighten Teeth.

Improved Aesthetics

Replaces silver-colored fillings with natural-looking, tooth-colored materials.

Reduced Mercury Exposure

Removes potential sources of mercury vapor, especially in cracked or worn fillings.

Better Biocompatibility

Modern composite or ceramic fillings are free of metals and more body-friendly.

Strengthens the Tooth

Newer materials bond to the tooth structure and can provide added support.

Peace of Mind

Offers emotional reassurance for patients concerned about mercury or metal in their bodies.

Prevention of Microleakage

Old amalgam fillings may shrink or crack over time, allowing bacteria to enter—removal helps prevent future decay.

My review of today’s dental visit with Dr. Mishalini. She is truly professional, and since meeting her, I haven’t visited any other dentist for consultations or treatments, including scaling. Dr. Mishalini makes me feel welcomed, is very approachable, and always greets me with a warm smile. Thank you, Dr. Mishalini! See you in November.

This was my first visit, and it was handled by Dr. Mishalini. She is very good! I had my wisdom teeth removed, and I felt no pain at all, even though it was fractured into two. The receptionist, cashier, and assistant nurse were all friendly, and the price was very reasonable. I'll definitely become a regular customer, and there's a cute cat outside too!
