What is Mercury Safe Amalgam Removal?
Mercury Safe amalgam removal is accomplished by using the SMART Protocol. SMART stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique — a protocol developed by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). It uses a combination of specialized equipment, barriers, and procedures to minimize mercury vapor exposure during amalgam filling removal.
Dr. Pint is one of the few SMART-certified dentists in Southwest Florida. Every amalgam removal at Bonita Dental Studio follows these strict protocols to protect you, our team, and the environment.
What to Expect During Your SMART Removal
Step 1: Consultation
We review your health history, take digital X-rays, and create a personalized removal plan tailored to your biology and health goals.
Step 2: Safe Removal
Using SMART protocols, we section the filling into chunks to minimize mercury vapor, while oxygen masks, rubber dams, and air filtration protect you throughout.
Step 3: Biocompatible Restoration
Once the amalgam is removed, we replace it with a BPA-free, tooth-colored composite filling that looks natural and supports your overall health.
