By removing mercury amalgam fillings carefully, SMART aligns with a holistic approach to dentistry, supporting better health for your body as a whole. Choosing mercury-free restorations also establishes a safer, metal-free future for your smile.
With SMART at Wholesome Smiles, your treatment is both effective and beautiful, and your tooth will no longer have the silvery-gray color caused by metal-amalgam materials. Mercury-free composite fillings not only match the natural color of your teeth but also restore your smile’s function and appearance flawlessly.
Your SMART journey begins with a detailed consultation. During this visit, Dr. Chigir will explain the process, answer any questions, and create a customized plan for your mercury amalgam removal. Protective measures, such as isolating your tooth and using specialized suction systems, are carefully prepared to ensure your safety and comfort.
During the procedure, our team uses strict protocols to safely remove mercury fillings without releasing harmful particles or vapors. Advanced tools, including high-volume air filtration systems, keep the environment safe, while Dr. Chigir works with precision to remove the filling and prepare the tooth for a new restoration.
Once the amalgam filling is removed, we will replace it with a durable, tooth-colored composite material perfectly matched to your natural teeth. As we finalize your restoration, we’ll assess the fit and function to ensure a long-lasting, healthy result. Follow-up instructions are provided to maintain your improved smile.
