Have you ever wondered what might be hiding beneath your old dental fillings? With the growing popularity of holistic dentistry, there is an increasing demand for mercury-free procedures in oral healthcare. At Assure a Smile, Miami’s leading holistic dental practice, we place your well-being at the center of everything we do, especially when it comes to mercury filling removal.
Many people are surprised to learn that traditional “silver” dental fillings are actually made with mercury amalgam, a material that’s been used since the 1800s. These fillings contain about 50% mercury, a heavy metal with known toxic properties. Over time, the release of mercury, especially when drinking hot liquids or grinding teeth, can potentially lead to health concerns affecting the nervous system, kidneys, and immune function.
Recognizing these risks, Assure a Smile is dedicated to creating a safer, healthier dental environment. Our experienced team follows the strict safety guidelines set out by the International Academy of Biological Dentistry & Medicine (IABDM) for safe amalgam removal. Using the latest technology, we reduce the risk of mercury exposure, protecting both our patients and our staff.
Switching to mercury-free, holistic alternatives is much more than a trend. It forms the core of a wellness-centered approach to dental care. Completing your mercury filling removal at Assure a Smile gives you peace of mind, knowing you are limiting exposure to toxic materials. Meanwhile, our tooth-colored options, such as composite resin, porcelain, or ceramic, blend seamlessly with your smile for a natural look.
At Assure a Smile, we understand that your oral health impacts your entire body. By choosing mercury-free dentistry, you take a vital step toward protecting not just your mouth, but your whole-body wellness.
