Amalgam (“silver”) fillings contain ~50% mercury along with silver, tin and copper. While durable, they can release small amounts of mercury vapour during everyday activities like chewing and grinding. Prolonged exposure may raise health concerns for some individuals (e.g., neurological effects, considerations in pregnancy and childhood).
At Smile Hub, we follow guidance from health organisations (including the WHO and HSE) and offer safe replacement with modern, tooth-coloured materials for your peace of mind.
Every step follows rigorous SMART measures to minimise exposure for you and our team:
