At Lisa Siddall, DDS, we take the health of our patients seriously.
That’s why at our wellness dentistry practice, Dr. Siddall and Dr. Dunn offer amalgam tooth filling removal for your optimal wellness.
Traditional amalgam (silver) fillings are known to contain mercury – a toxic material that, in some patients, produces unwanted medical side effects. Our Lake Leelanau dental office is completely mercury-free. We also provide safe, approved methods for mercury tooth filling removal.
Mercury Filling Removal
Although any dentist can remove your mercury filling and replace it with a white restoration, very few dentists take the necessary precautions to prevent mercury from entering your body or the environment during the removal process. Mercury vapors are released during the filling removal procedure, so additional steps must be taken to protect the health of our team and our patients. The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology has established set guidelines that make mercury filling removal safe and effective. Our team is highly trained in SMART amalgam removal, a protocol designed to minimize mercury exposure during the removal process. This technique uses specialized equipment and procedures to protect both patients and staff.
Techniques
- Rubber Dam Barriers
- Advanced Filtration Devices
- A Self-Contained Oxygen Supply
- Specialized Vacuum Equipment
Without the use of these advanced methods, mercury particles could enter your airway, bloodstream, body, and the surrounding environment during the removal process.
