About Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal at our West Kelowna dental office

Do you have silver fillings? What are they doing to your health?

With the potential health risks of mercury becoming well known, many people are seeking the removal of their silver fillings. At dental office in West Kelowna, we are SMART certified and can assist in safely removing silver fillings in a way that protects both the patient, and our staff, from mercury exposure.

SMART is a certification provided through the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, or IAOMT. SMART stands for the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique.

Following a SMART procedure when dealing with amalgam removals ensures that both the patient, and the dental team, are well protected from the release of mercury during and after the treatment.

Why are white fillings better?

With the advent, and now the affordability of, composite fillings, more people are asking their dentists to provide them with tooth-coloured fillings.

In fact, some people even ask their dentists to remove their old amalgam fillings and replace them with white fillings.

In my practice, I avoid using amalgam filling material completely. But I’m also leery of removing old fillings because of the health implications to the patient, myself, and my team.

That’s why I decided to become SMART certified. This stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique and I have been using this technique for 3 years now.

What’s involved in safe amalgam fillings removal? And how does this relate to holistic dental care?
