Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to replace my amalgam fillings?
No, if they are in good condition. We replace them when they are broken or leaking, or if you prefer it for looks.
Is amalgam still used?
Since 1 January 2025 the European Union no longer allows amalgam in new fillings, except in exceptional medical cases.
Are they all replaced at once?
No need. They are usually replaced area by area, over several visits.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the number of fillings and their size. Your first visit is free and includes a panoramic X-ray, a diagnosis and a no-obligation quote.
