Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal (SMART)

Protecting Your Health Every Step of the Way

At Luxe Dental Arts, we believe true wellness begins with oral health. That’s why we follow the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART), a science-based protocol developed by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), to safely remove mercury fillings while minimizing exposure for both you and our team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Amalgam, or “silver,” fillings contain about 50% elemental mercury—a toxic substance that can release harmful vapors, especially when disturbed. Without the right precautions, removing these fillings can significantly increase your exposure.

That’s why we follow the SMART protocol, a science-based method designed to protect you, our team, and the environment from mercury-related risks.

SMART, or Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique, is a comprehensive safety protocol developed by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). It’s designed to minimize mercury exposure during filling removal through multiple layers of protection:

Patient protection with a dental dam and face drape
Supplemental oxygen to prevent mercury vapor inhalation
High-volume suction paired with HEPA and mercury air filtration
Immediate capture of mercury particles using barriers and suction tools
Protective gear for all clinical staff
Environmentally safe collection and disposal of amalgam waste

This approach ensures your treatment is safe, effective, and protective of both your health and the environment.

While many dental offices remove amalgam fillings without specialized safety measures, Luxe Dental Arts follows the IAOMT’s evidence-based SMART protocol to provide the highest level of protection. This method significantly reduces mercury exposure for both patients and staff during removal.

In addition to these safety measures, we support your body’s natural detoxification with personalized pre- and post-removal guidance, including integrative therapies tailored to your individual health needs.

If you have mercury fillings and are concerned about their potential health effects, we’re here to help. Not everyone needs removal, but for those who do, the method of removal is critical.

At Luxe Dental Arts, our biological dental team performs a thorough evaluation to determine whether SMART removal is the best option for you and provides safe, personalized guidance throughout the entire process.
