The Safest Way to Remove Silver Fillings
At BioDent Smile in San Diego, we follow the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal (SMART) / Protect Technique to protect your health, preserve your smile, and safeguard the environment.
This protocol was originally pioneered by Dr. Hal Huggins, a leader in biological dentistry who first exposed the risks of mercury fillings. His work inspired the development of safer methods that are now recognized worldwide.
Why SMART Matters
- Minimized Mercury Exposure – Specialized equipment and safety barriers reduce mercury vapor, protecting both patients and dental professionals.
- Environmental Protection – Containment and filtration systems prevent mercury from polluting air and water.
- Preserves Healthy Tooth Structure – Designed to conserve as much natural enamel and dentin as possible.
- Enhanced Patient Safety – With strict safety measures in place, your well-being is always the top priority.
- Certified Standards – At BioDent Smile, we follow the rigorous guidelines set by the IAOMT and IABDM, ensuring your care meets the highest biological standards.
