Removing Old Fillings for a Safer, Better Solution
In the past and even to this day, it’s fairly common for certain types of metal (silver) dental fillings to include mercury. While these fillings are still considered safe, mercury has been linked to certain health risks, which in turn has led to many patients deciding that their metal dental fillings need to go! Fortunately, they can be replaced with safe, metal-free alternatives—but removing them safely and correctly is the first step. Our team here at Encinitas Dental Art can help with this; just contact our office to schedule your appointment.

What is Safe Dental Mercury Removal?
Safe mercury removal refers to a specialized process for removing amalgam fillings in a way that reduces mercury exposure for both patients and dental staff. Traditional amalgam fillings contain mercury, a heavy metal that can release harmful vapor during removal if not handled properly. Our method includes:
- Protective Measures: Patients and staff are provided with appropriate safety equipment, such as protective barriers and special suits that act as filtration.
- Detox Support with Binders: We offer medical-grade binders to help your body safely eliminate metal toxins, further supporting your systemic health.
Why is Safe Mercury Removal Important?
Mercury is a known neurotoxin that can pose risks to your health if released into the body or environment. By using a safe, controlled process for amalgam removal, we protect you from unnecessary exposure and contribute to a healthier dental experience. This approach is particularly important for patients with existing sensitivities or those committed to reducing toxic load in their bodies.
