Count on SMART-Certified Silver/Amalgam Filling Removal
At Studio Z Dental, our mercury-free dentistry in Louisville is an integral part of our holistic philosophy – one that prioritizes your overall health through meticulous attention to every detail of your dental care.
Our state-of-the-art facility is one of the few dental offices in the Louisville and Boulder area equipped with advanced technology for safe amalgam removal. When removing silver/amalgam fillings — which can release mercury levels 1,000 times above EPA safety standards — our comprehensive approach ensures minimal exposure while maximizing your protection. Amalgam fillings consist of mercury, silver, tin, copper, and zinc. The mixture is 45 to 55 percent elemental mercury, which studies have shown to be toxic and pose a health risk. The filings release mercury vapor during placement, cleaning, chewing, brushing, and removal.
We use the SMART protocol to remove amalgam and lower the risk of contamination safely. The protocol is designed to avoid exposure to mercury particles and vapor that are harmful to you, the dentist, and the environment. The process features:
- Providing the option to ingest an absorbent
- Swiss IQ high-volume air purification in every room
- Dental dams and saliva ejectors to reduce mercury exposure
- Additional air ionization systems and mercury filters
- Amalgam separator to collect mercury waste
Everyone wears non-latex gloves. You can wear protective gowns and covers if you’d like.
