Canoga Park Dentist, Dr. Amir Choroomi, is Offering Safe Amalgam Removal Services
CANOGA PARK, Calif., July 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Canoga Park dentist, Dr. Amir Choroomi, now offers safe amalgam removal services that protect the patient's health at each stage of the process. Amalgam fillings are becoming a major area of concern for many patients. While dental amalgam has been used in dentistry for years, it contains mercury, which can release potentially harmful vapors when the filling is damaged or removed.

Safe removal techniques include removing the filling without further damaging it. Keeping it cool and using a continuous flow of water and air can further reduce the amount of mercury vapor that is released. A high-volume evacuator uses powerful suction that removes amalgam particles and mercury vapor while an alternative air source is provided to the patient to minimize his or her exposure as much as possible.
Patients with amalgam fillings may have several options for restorations. Small cavities can be filled with composite resin or tooth-colored fillings, which are strong, aesthetically appealing and long-lasting. Teeth that have severe damage may need to be restored using porcelain onlays or inlays, which can be used to restore teeth with large cavities in the center of the tooth or covering one or more cusps. Dental crowns can be used if the damage cannot be treated with more conservative options.
