# Cedar City Amalgam Filling Removal & Porcelain Restorations
If you have older silver amalgam fillings, you may be concerned about potential risks or want an aesthetic upgrade. At Eggen Dental, we safely remove amalgam restorations and replace them with natural-looking, tooth-colored solutions.
## Amalgam Filling Removal
Our dentists use advanced techniques to gently take out old amalgam fillings without damaging your underlying tooth:
- Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable throughout the procedure.
- We use digital x-rays to assess the extent of the old filling.
- The amalgam is precisely drilled out and removed in chunks to minimize mercury vapor release.
- Laser detoxification can then be used to neutralize residual mercury.
- The tooth is cleaned, shaped, and readied for the new restoration.
## Benefits of Amalgam Removal:
- Eliminate any risks associated with mercury exposure.
- Avoid cracked tooth syndrome around old fillings.
- Prepare teeth for newer, more aesthetic restorations.
- Improve the long-term prognosis of previously filled teeth.
## Beautiful Porcelain Restorations
We recommend replacing amalgam with one of these tooth-colored solutions:
- **Porcelain crowns** - Encircle the entire visible tooth for maximum durability and aesthetics.
- Porcelain inlays/onlays - Fit within the cusps of teeth for a conservative option.
- **Composite fillings** - Directly fill cavities and small defects with resin.
Porcelain restorations mimic the light reflection and translucency of natural teeth. They restore strength, function, and improve the appearance of your smile.
