A.
There are many different “metal free” solutions to the replacement of old dental amalgam fillings and crowns with metal. There are also ways to remove these old dental restorations to reduce the exposure to the metals whilst taking them out. This is one of the treatment types that we have expertise in. Exactly what is required and the complexity needs to be assessed first.
