Amalgam Fillings Removal
Dr. Rodriguez carefully removes old mercury fillings, taking the proper precautions to protect you from exposure. She then replaces them with tooth-colored composite that not only look natural but also support your long-term health.
The Problem With
Amalgam Fillings
For many years, silver amalgam fillings were the standard of care for treating cavities. Made up of around 50% mercury, a potent neurotoxin, these metal fillings are the primary source of mercury exposure in humans.
According to the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), people with amalgam fillings can get very sick over time. A single mercury-containing filling releases up to 15 micrograms of mercury over the course of a single day—over six times the amount that would be absorbed from eating mercury-contaminated seafood. Mercury can cause a lot of problems throughout your body, including autoimmune disorders, mood disorders, cognitive problems, neurological issues and more.
Fortunately, Dr. Rodriquez knows how to safely and effectively remove these types of fillings from the mouth and replace them with safe tooth-colored composite.

Dr. Rodriguez
Dr. Rodriguez has been certified in the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) by the IAOMT. This is a highly detailed and controlled approach to removing old metal fillings safely, minimizing the chance of mercury vapor release during the procedure. Patients who just have an amalgam filling simply drilled out of their mouth will inhale the particles, vapors and fumes. Dr. Rodriguez will protect you from unnecessary exposure to mercury using a combination of advanced air-filtration systems and protective barriers to create a toxin-free environment for the procedure.
