As a holistic dentist, Dr. Weiser cares about your smile and your health. He’s placed mercury-free restorations for years and uses only safe, biocompatible materials to esthetically renew compromised teeth. If you have old metal dental work that you want replaced, you’ve come to the right place. At our leading Santa Barbara dental practice, Dr. Weiser uses state-of-art technology to safely remove harmful amalgam (metal) fillings and rejuvenate oral and overall health.
In years past, amalgam was considered safe and durable. We’ve since learned of mercury’s damaging effects and the weaknesses of metal fillings. Because of mercury’s toxicity, special procedures must be followed to remove it. Premier Santa Barbara dentist Dr. Weiser is highly-trained and experienced in the art of amalgam removal. You can trust his expertise in this specialized procedure and know that your smile is in good hands. Our progressive Santa Barbara boutique practice is not just mercury free, it’s mercury safe!
To remove metal restorations that contain mercury, we employ the following practices:
- Rubber dams to prevent swallowing metal fragments
- Cold water spray to keep the metal cool during removal and reduce mercury vapors
- A state-of-the-art dental vacuum system to remove harmful, mercury-containing particles and vapors
- A pure oxygen source for safe, healthy breathing during amalgam removal
When you’re ready to rid yourself of toxic metal dental work that will ultimately do more harm than good, call us. Your Santa Barbara holistic dentist will be happy to explain our mercury removal process in detail and then get started on your beautiful, healthy smile.
