Mercury-free Dentistry

With patient’s well-being at the heart of everything we do, 24H has been practising mercury-free dentistry for the past several years. Although scientific research is still not particular on whether or not mercury carries danger to patients, our position is that we shall not take any chances and will continue to treat our patients using composite (white) fillings.

If you’re seeking a mercury-free dentist in Dublin, contact our receptionist staff to book an appointment in any of our centrally located clinics, each within a couple of minutes from popular transport links.

What does mercury-free dentistry mean?

Mercury, one of the most toxic metals known to humanity, was until recently used by dentists when creating a filling after a caries treatment. People often recognise it as “silver filling”, which has an unpleasant metal taste when applied and is now considered to be a risk-bearing material for the overall health of patients.

Mercury-free dentistry implies that no silver fillings (no amalgam) will be used when treating the patient. To learn more about dental amalgam, visit this link .

Mercury-free fillings

Despite the uncertainty around mercury, the British Dental Association has recently released a statement, confirming that approximately 3% of the UK population are estimated to suffer from mercury sensitivity. With the Irish population estimated at 5 million, this means that nearly 150 thousand people are more likely to develop side effects from amalgam fillings.

To ensure that your treatment is delivered at the highest possible standard to protect our dentists and nurses, all of our clinics offer mercury-free dentistry. The fillings, done by our dentists, are completed with dental composite resin. All materials are of the highest quality and promise health-conscious and aesthetically pleasing results.

Replacing amalgam fillings

One of the biggest concerns for replacing amalgam fillings is ensuring that neither the patient nor the clinicians inhale particles of the mercury while the fixture is removed. Our dentists and specialists are highly trained and able to provide safe replacement of amalgam fillings.

Please note: It is not recommended to replace amalgam fillings if you’re pregnant. To help us protect you, please notify your dentist if you think you may be pregnant.

Letters from our patients in Dublin

I had an excellent experience at the dentist with Dr Faiza. She was really kind and incredibly thorough. I highly recommend her.

I needed to have a tooth extracted and Dame Street Dental was recommended to me. My oral surgeon, Dr Mohammad Abed, was excellent. He was knowledgeable, professional and polite. He was also articulate and able to communicate the procedure to me at all times. It was my first experience with Dame Street Dental and I am pleased to recommend this to anyone in need of a dental procedure.Thank you, Dr Abed.

Underwent root canal procedure and crown with Dr Abed and Eva in the Dame Street location. I found them both great for the procedure and the aftermath. Very helpful and put me at ease.

Hollie Gilson

I got my dental implant, and the process was incredibly quick and painless. It cost me half the price of what my regular dentist charges. I'm impressed with the advanced technology used for the implant. The clinic was modern, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Thanks so much

As an existing patient of Dame Street Dental for many years, I can only express my deep appreciation for all of their lovely staff and their incredible devotion to their patients. Their level of care is unparalleled and is evident in their kind approach to any dental issue you might be facing, especially if you're an anxious patient like I am. They make a remarkable effort to ensure that no pain is felt during any of the procedures. Throughout my time with them, I've undergone several smaller procedures, such as tooth fillings and contouring, as well as more serious treatments under the care of their brilliant implantologist, Dr. Mohammed Shirin. He performed a bone grafting procedure to strengthen my jaw, making it suitable for implants, as well as placing dental implants, abutments, and artificial teeth, with which I couldn't be happier. There was no pain during any of those procedures, and I experienced only minimal discomfort during the healing process at home, thanks to his exceptional care and the top-quality medication I was prescribed, which made the entire experience much more manageable. I couldn't recommend their clinic highly enough!

I recently visited Dame Street Dental Hospital to have a molar tooth extracted after my own dentist was unable to numb the nerve. From the moment I arrived, I was met with exceptional care. The dentist and nurse were absolutely amazing—kind, reassuring, and incredibly patient. As someone who tends to get very nervous about dental procedures, their professionalism and warmth made all the difference. They took the time to explain everything and made sure I felt as comfortable as possible throughout the process. The procedure itself went amazingly, completely painless and I truly appreciated their empathy and understanding. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Highly recommend this dental hospital, especially for anyone who feels anxious about dental treatments. Thank you Dr Mohammad Abed!

Dr Faiza Kanjaoui handled my procedures with the utmost professionalism I felt in such good hands. Dr Faiza Kanjaoui Explained each stage of my process and made me feel at ease every time was a real joy to sit in the dentist chair. Honestly felt she went above and beyond every time a real credit to her craft. Great character overall. I highly recommend anyone going forward. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
