Your amalgam removal expert in Leipzig

Do you have old, dark amalgam fillings in your teeth and would like to replace them with modern, tooth-colored alternatives? Amalgam removal is now an important part of modern dentistry, as more and more people are recognizing the health risks of mercury-containing fillings. At our modern dentistry practice in Leipzig, we offer safe and gentle amalgam filling removal using the latest scientific methods.
Amalgam fillings consist of about 50 percent highly toxic mercury, which can be released through chewing or contact with hot and acidic foods. Our dentist, Dr. Niels Hoffmann, has many years of experience in amalgam restoration and uses the latest safety techniques. Through comprehensive diagnostics and targeted treatment, we can safely remove your old amalgam fillings and replace them with biocompatible, aesthetic alternatives.

What is amalgam restoration?

Amalgam restoration refers to the professional removal of amalgam fillings and their replacement with modern, biocompatible filling materials. At our modern dentistry practice in Leipzig, we understand this to mean a comprehensive treatment approach that includes thorough diagnosis, safe removal, and high-quality replacement.

Our dentist, Dr. Niels Hoffmann, first assesses the condition of your amalgam fillings and develops the best treatment strategy. Amalgam is removed under special safety precautions using a Rubber dam, powerful suction systems, and intensive water cooling. After complete removal, the teeth are sealed with high-quality Ceramic inlays or partial ceramic crowns.

Why is amalgam removal advisable?

The mercury contained in amalgam fillings is continuously released and enters the body via the oral mucosa and respiratory tract. There it is deposited in organs such as the liver, kidneys, and brain and can contribute to various complaints.

At our modern dentistry practice, patients often report improvements in headaches, fatigue, concentration problems, or immune deficiency after amalgam restoration. Modern filling materials also offer aesthetic advantages: they are tooth-colored, have excellent biocompatibility, and can stabilize the tooth substance thanks to their adhesive bonding.

"Ich bin seit Jahren Patient in dieser Praxis und rundum zufrieden. Zunächst wurden meine Zähne mit Invisalign begradigt, bevor Veneers eingesetzt wurden. Sowohl Dr. Hoffmann als auch Dr. Gottschling sind nicht nur äußerst kompetent, sondern auch sehr angenehm im Umgang. Besonders hilfreich waren die realistischen Mockups vorab – das Ergebnis entspricht genau meinen Erwartungen, ich bin begeistert![...]
Das gesamte Team ist herzlich, patientenorientiert und sorgt dafür, dass man sich jederzeit wohlfühlt.

Klare Empfehlung – hier stimmt einfach alles!"

How does amalgam removal work in Leipzig?

Before treatment

Before any amalgam removal, we carry out a comprehensive diagnosis. Dr. Niels Hoffmann examines the condition of your amalgam fillings and draws up a detailed treatment plan that takes into account medical and aesthetic aspects as well as your personal wishes.

In a detailed consultation, we explain the procedure, possible risks, and various alternatives. Together, we select the optimal replacement material—whether composite, ceramic inlays, or other modern filling materials. If necessary, we also discuss treatment options under sedation.

During treatment

Amalgam restoration is carried out under the strictest safety precautions. After anesthesia, a rubber dam is placed to isolate the tooth and prevent the swallowing of amalgam particles. The amalgam filling is removed with special instruments under continuous water cooling and suction.

The old filling is carefully removed in larger pieces to minimize mercury release. After thorough cleaning, the tooth is sealed with the selected material. Composite fillings are applied in layers under light curing, while ceramic inlays are inserted in a separate appointment.

After treatment

After the amalgam has been removed, you can resume your normal activities. If you have been given an anesthetic, you should refrain from eating for two hours. Mild sensitivity in the first few days is normal. Dr. Niels Hoffmann recommends thorough oral hygiene and avoiding hard or sticky foods.

Follow-up appointments check the healing and function of the new fillings. Many patients benefit from accompanying detoxification therapy to mobilize stored mercury. We will be happy to advise you individually on this.
