Why should I have amalgam fillings removed?

Amalgam fillings contain mercury, which can release mercury vapor when placed or drilled out. Not all amalgam fillings are dangerous and need removal.  However, If you’re concerned about amalgam fillings, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our dentist who can examine the fillings and recommend a course of treatment based on your situation. We offer SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) to remove amalgam fillings safely if required. 

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks, and we recommend seeking a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner before proceeding.
