For patients with multiple mercury fillings, we recommend spreading removal over two to four appointments rather than removing them all in a single visit.
Reduced Mercury Exposure
Even with rigorous SMART protocol safeguards in place, removing multiple amalgam fillings generates more mercury vapor and particulate matter than removing just one or two. Spacing your appointments reduces your total exposure per session and gives your body time to process and eliminate trace amounts of mercury between visits.
Your Safety Is Paramount
During your consultation, Dr. John or Dr. Rodriguez will assess the number of amalgam fillings you have and their size and location. They will then develop a systematic removal plan tailored to your unique situation.
This phased approach balances efficiency with safety. You'll make steady progress toward being mercury-free without overwhelming your body with excessive exposure.
Most patients also find staged removal more comfortable, with time to heal between appointments and the opportunity for us to adjust our approach based on your response to the first procedure.
