GC Amalgam Alternatives

While there has been no conclusive evidence that dental amalgam has any adverse health effects on patients, the regulation considers the full life cycle of mercury, from mining to waste disposal. Mining mercury is harmful to miners exposed to the vapours, and upon discard, the mercury also harms the environment.

As a result of this ban, it will be prohibited to export dental amalgam from the EU from 1st January 2025 – drastically affecting UK supply chains.

As a result of reduced manufacturing, amalgam will become more expensive, nullifying one of the key benefits of the treatment today.

Not sure what to do about this? GC has you covered with a range of scientifically-proven restorative options, suitable for a variety of indications, so that you can continue to deliver effective treatment to your patients.

What Alternatives Are Right For You?

It is difficult to chose just one dental restorative material for your practice, as every patient and every treatment is different, leading to a wide range of needs – a single solution could never be the perfect option for everything.

Even amalgam has hard limitations, with lacking aesthetics and health and environmental concerns over mercury. So, what are the alternatives? You want to have restorative solutions for every patient, without overloading your inventory with too many overlapping solutions. GC can help.
