A Safe Way to Remove Older Fillings
Biomimetic biological dentist Dr. Lorène Catala Boisvert, D.D.S., is proud to announce that we are a Protect Protocol-Certified, mercury-free, and mercury-safe practice. This means that we employ specific safety protocols to ensure the protection of her patients, her staff, and herself from minimal mercury exposure when removing old amalgam (silver) fillings. Dr. Catala Boisvert is one of the few Biomimetic Dentistry offices in Santa Monica, California who follows the highest standards for amalgam removal set forth accredited by the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM) for the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART). This protocol minimizes your exposure to mercury vapor during amalgam removal, thereby protecting you from potential absorption of mercury into your system.
Protect Protocol Certified
The common technique for replacing a filling is often referred to as “drill and fill.” The dentist simply drills out the old filling and replaces it. Unfortunately, when the old filling is an amalgam, that approach releases alarming amounts of mercury vapor and particulate matter. That is why Dr. Catala Boisvert uses a stringent mercury-safe protocol, which includes:
