Safe Amalgam Removal

At Integrative Holistic Dentistry, we prioritize your health and well-being by offering Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal (SMART-certified). Amalgam fillings, also known as silver fillings, can expose patients to mercury vapors, which may pose health risks. Our biological dentistry practice provides a safe and effective alternative to traditional amalgam removal, ensuring the best care for your oral and overall health.

Why Choose Us for Safe Amalgam Removal?
Led by Dr. Mensah, a rejuvenation dentist certified by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), we strictly follow the SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) protocol. This ensures a safe and minimally invasive procedure that protects you, our staff, and the environment.

Our Process:
To minimize mercury exposure during removal, we use advanced techniques and tools, including:

• Rubber Dam or Isolite Isolation: Prevents mercury fragments from being swallowed.
• Separate Oxygen Source: Provides fresh air during the procedure.
• High-Volume Suction and Dental Air Vacuum: Removes vapors and particles effectively.
• Protective Barriers: Safeguards both the patient and dental team.
• Water Spray: Reduces heat and suppresses mercury vapors.
• Charcoal or Chlorella Rinse: Detox support before and after the procedure.

Alternatives to Amalgam Fillings:
After safe removal, we recommend metal-free, biocompatible materials such as:

• Composite Resin: Tooth-colored, durable, and cost-effective.
• Ceramic or Gold Fillings: Long-lasting and aesthetic solutions.

For personalized care, we also offer biocompatibility testing through Clifford Materials Reactivity Testing to ensure the safest options for you.
