Read ReviewsOur holistic approach means looking at the entire person when evaluating oral health. Dr. Hussein Dhayni considers your medical history, current medications, comfort, preventive needs, material preferences, and long-term dental goals.
Balboa Dentistry offers tooth-colored, mercury-free restorative materials and explains what will be used in your mouth. When an older amalgam filling is damaged, leaking, surrounded by decay, or otherwise needs replacement, our team uses careful isolation, water cooling, sectioning, and high-volume suction techniques during removal.
We do not recommend automatically replacing every stable silver filling. Removing a restoration can sacrifice healthy tooth structure, so Dr. Dhayni evaluates its condition, the surrounding tooth, your symptoms, and the benefits and risks of monitoring versus replacement.
Healthy teeth and gums are an important part of overall wellbeing. Gum inflammation, diabetes, heart health, medications, dry mouth, nutrition, and home care can affect one another. Our team coordinates with your medical providers when appropriate and keeps recommendations grounded in your individual health history.

Yes. Tooth-colored, mercury-free restorative materials are available. Dr. Dhayni explains material choices, expected performance, appearance, and cost before treatment.
No. A stable filling without decay or damage may not need replacement. Removal can sacrifice healthy tooth structure, so Dr. Dhayni evaluates each restoration and discusses benefits and risks before recommending treatment.
When replacement is clinically appropriate, the team uses isolation, high-volume suction, water cooling, and careful sectioning techniques to control debris and protect the tooth and patient.
Oral and overall health are connected in several ways. Gum inflammation and chronic health conditions can influence one another, which is why the team reviews medical history and coordinates care when appropriate.
