Many patients choose to replace old metal fillings for both health and cosmetic reasons. At San Diego Smile Center, we offer SMART amalgam removal in Mira Mesa, a specialized method that safely removes mercury-containing silver fillings. SMART stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique, a protocol designed to reduce exposure to mercury particles during amalgam removal.
Traditional amalgam fillings contain a mixture of metals, including mercury. Over time, some patients decide to replace these fillings with modern tooth-colored materials that blend naturally with their teeth. SMART amalgam removal uses protective techniques and specialized equipment to ensure the process is completed as safely and comfortably as possible.
Standard filling removal methods may release small particles or vapors during the procedure. The SMART protocol is specifically designed to minimize these risks by using protective barriers, advanced suction systems, and other safety measures.
Many patients choose SMART amalgam removal to upgrade their dental restorations to modern materials, such as composite or ceramic fillings. These alternatives provide a more natural appearance while restoring the tooth's strength and function.
