SMART certified mercury-safe protocol Holistic approach to dental care Over 30 years of clinical experienceMany people are concerned about amalgam fillings and the potential effects that they may have on their health.
Many people today are becoming more aware of how dental materials may affect overall health.
Amalgam fillings contain mercury, and some patients choose to have them removed as part of a broader approach to their health and wellbeing.
At Evolve Dental Healing, we take a careful and evidence-informed approach to amalgam removal, ensuring the process is carried out safely and thoughtfully.
SMART stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique.
This internationally recognised protocol is designed to minimise mercury exposure during the removal of amalgam fillings. It includes protective equipment, specialised suction, and careful clinical procedures to support patient safety throughout the process.
At Evolve Dental Healing, we follow SMART principles as part of our holistic approach to dentistry.
Rubber dam isolation and protective coverings to prevent mercury exposure to the patient.
Specialised suction systems capture mercury vapour and particles at the source during removal.
Cold water spray keeps the filling cool, minimising mercury vapour release throughout the procedure.
Fillings are sectioned into chunks rather than drilled, reducing heat and vapour generation.
Alternative air sources ensure the patient breathes clean, mercury-free air during the procedure.
Detox and recovery guidance to support your body after amalgam removal.
Our focus is always on thoughtful, patient-centred care that considers both oral health and overall wellbeing.

When performed using appropriate safety protocols, amalgam removal can be carried out carefully and safely. At Evolve Dental Healing we follow SMART principles designed to minimise mercury exposure during the removal process.
Many amalgam fillings remain functional for many years. Some patients choose to replace them due to concerns about mercury exposure or as part of a broader approach to their health. This is something we can discuss together during your consultation.
Amalgam fillings are typically replaced with modern biocompatible dental materials such as composite resin or ceramic restorations. These materials are selected carefully to support both function and aesthetics.
Amalgam removal is performed using local anaesthetic, similar to other dental procedures, so patients are generally comfortable during treatment.
This depends on the number and condition of the fillings being removed. In many cases treatment can be completed over one or several appointments, depending on what is most appropriate for the patient.
