Frequently Asked Questions

Amalgam or “silver” fillings are made up of about 50% elemental mercury—a toxic substance that can release harmful vapors, especially when disturbed. Without proper safety measures, the removal process can significantly increase your exposure.

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

SMART stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique—a comprehensive safety approach 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:

Full-body protection for the patient, including a dental dam and face drape
External oxygen supply to prevent inhalation of mercury vapors
High-volume suction and specialized air filtration (HEPA and mercury filters)
Barriers and suction devices to immediately capture mercury particles
Protective gear for all clinical staff involved
Safe collection and disposal of amalgam waste to prevent environmental contamination

This ensures your treatment is not only effective—but also safe for your body and the planet.

While many dental offices remove amalgam fillings without specialized precautions, Luxe Dental Arts follows the IAOMT’s evidence-based SMART protocol to ensure maximum safety. This approach significantly reduces mercury exposure for both patients and staff during the removal process.

In addition to these safeguards, 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 impact on your health, we’re here to help. While not everyone needs to have their fillings removed, the method of removal is critical for those who do.

At Luxe Dental Arts, our biological dental team provides a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether SMART removal is appropriate for you—and to guide you safely every step of the way.
