SMART - Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal
When it comes to the replacement of outdated silver fillings, a SMART-certified dental team like that of Dr. Wang and Dr. Chen can ensure a safe and highly efficient procedure.
In earlier times, amalgam fillings were the preferred choice for molars due to their durability and long-lasting properties. Their appearance and material composition were not a significant concern.
Fast forward to the present day.
Tooth-colored fillings and crowns have emerged as the contemporary benchmark, surpassing traditional alternatives. These modern materials not only offer BPA-free options but also alleviate worries about their impact on your smile and the potential exposure to mercury vapor.
Say goodbye to old-fashioned silver fillings and step into a new era of exceptional dental solutions.

Ready to Transform Your Smile by Replacing Silver Mercury Fillings?
You might be wondering if it's time to replace those silver mercury fillings in your mouth. Perhaps they're showing signs of wear and crack, causing sensitivity, or even changing the color of your teeth to an unwanted dark gray shade.
Are Mercury Amalgam Fillings Right for You?
Despite reassurances from the American Dental Association, some have reservations about having mercury in their mouths. At Natural Focus Dental, we understand your concerns and are here to help you achieve your dental health goals. We also recognize that some individuals are sensitive to metals and seek alternatives.
What Is SMART Certification?
SMART, or Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique, represents our commitment to ensuring the safe removal of amalgam fillings. Dr. Wang and Dr. Chen holds SMART certification through the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). As the removal process can potentially release additional mercury vapor, we prioritize your safety. Here are some of the precautions we take when removing amalgam fillings at our Frisco, TX dental practice:
High-quality air filtration and circulation systems to safeguard your health
Proper use of rubber dam barriers for a more comfortable experience
Protective gowns for both the dentist and patient for added peace of mind
Utilization of a dental vacuum (suction) for a cleaner, safer procedure
Oxygen support to enhance your comfort
Efficient procedures for a more pleasant and expedient experience
In Natural Focus Dental, our dental office employs the latest and most advanced techniques and equipment to ensure your safety and well-being
Is There a Test Available to Determine My Mercury Levels?
Yes, at our Frisco, TX dental practice, we offer a Toxic & Essential Hair Elements Test. This non invasive hair test provides valuable insights into your mercury levels and helps assess your overall health. It's a powerful tool for those concerned about potential mercury or other heavy metal exposure and its impact on their well-being.
Will I Have a White Filling after My Amalgam Is Removed?
The type of filling you receive after amalgam removal depends on factors such as the age and size of the silver mercury filling. Our doctors may recommend replacing it with a natural, metal-free, BPA free composite tooth-colored filling in many cases. However, if the amalgam was particularly large or caused the tooth to crack, a tooth crown could be a more stable alternative.
Our doctors will thoroughly discuss these options with you, along with the expected outcomes of each, allowing you to make an informed choice that aligns with your dental health and lifestyle.
