Amalgam Replacement
Replace Metal With Confidence
If you have old silver (amalgam) fillings and are concerned about mercury exposure, we offer safe amalgam removal following the SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) protocol — a rigorous set of procedures designed to minimize mercury vapor exposure during removal.
Our SMART protocol includes the use of a rubber dam to isolate the tooth, high-volume evacuation to capture mercury particles, sectioning the amalgam into chunks rather than grinding, and providing supplemental oxygen during the procedure.
After safe removal, we replace your old fillings with beautiful, tooth-colored porcelain or composite restorations that are both aesthetically superior and biocompatible.
What You Should Know
Frequently Asked Questions
When performed using the SMART protocol, amalgam removal is considered safe. The protocol is specifically designed to minimize mercury vapor release and patient exposure during the removal process.
This is a personal decision. If your fillings are old, cracked, or failing, replacement makes sense regardless of the material. If you have concerns about mercury, we're happy to discuss your options during a consultation.
