Safe Mercury Removal

At Keys Smiles, we understand the concerns surrounding the use of mercury in dental fillings and the potential impact it can have on your health and well-being. That’s why we offer safe mercury removal as part of our commitment to providing high-quality, biocompatible dental care.

Comprehensive Evaluation: Before beginning the removal process, our experienced dental team will conduct a thorough evaluation of your oral health and assess the condition of your existing amalgam fillings. We’ll discuss any concerns you may have and explain the risks and benefits of mercury removal.

Strict Safety Protocols: Our team follows strict safety protocols recommended by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) to ensure the safe removal of mercury fillings. This includes the use of protective equipment such as masks, gloves, and specialized ventilation systems to minimize exposure to mercury vapors during the removal process.

Isolation and Containment: During the removal procedure, we take precautions to isolate the tooth being treated and contain any mercury particles or vapors that may be released. We use rubber dams and high-volume suction devices to prevent mercury from being swallowed or inhaled and minimize the risk of exposure to you and our dental team.

Biocompatible Alternatives: Once the mercury fillings have been safely removed, we replace them with biocompatible alternatives such as tooth-colored composite fillings or porcelain restorations. 

By choosing safe mercury removal at Keys Smiles, you can have peace of mind knowing that your health and safety are our top priorities. Our experienced dental team is committed to providing compassionate care and personalized treatment to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
