Safe Amalgam Removal

Mercury amalgam fillings remain one of the most debated topics in modern dentistry. At our practice, we follow a strict safety protocol when removing these restorations — protecting both the patient and our clinical team from unnecessary mercury exposure.

Our approach incorporates the SMART protocol (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique), which includes rubber dam isolation, high-volume suction directly at the tooth, supplemental air filtration, and protective barriers for the patient. We ensure that mercury vapor and particulate matter are captured rather than inhaled or absorbed.

Once the amalgam is safely removed, the tooth is restored with a biocompatible ceramic or composite material selected to match your individual tolerance profile. Many patients report improved overall well-being after replacing their old mercury fillings, particularly those who experienced chronic fatigue or unexplained sensitivities. Our team in Bad Schwartau guides you through every step — from initial assessment to the final restoration.
