Mercury has long been a key component of traditional silver amalgam dental fillings. While durable and cost-effective, these fillings can pose potential health and environmental risks when removed improperly. That’s why Dr. Baber Nisar offers the SMART protocol -short for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique – to protect patients, the dental team, and the environment during every procedure. Here’s why choosing Dr. Nisar for SMART-certified removal is a smart decision for your health and peace of mind.
1. Protection from Mercury Vapours
When an amalgam filling is drilled, mercury vapour can be released into the air and potentially inhaled. Dr. Nisar follows the SMART protocol, using advanced equipment such as high-volume suction, a rubber dam, and state-of-the-art air filtration to minimize inhalation risks and keep you safe.
2. Comprehensive Safety for Patients and Staff
Your well-being is Dr. Nisar’s top priority. He and his team wear protective gear and provide you with eye protection, oxygen through a nasal mask, and barriers to reduce skin contact. These thoughtful precautions safeguard everyone in the room, not just the person receiving treatment.
3. Environmental Responsibility
Mercury is a persistent pollutant that can contaminate waterways if not handled properly. Dr. Nisar’s SMART practices include capturing and safely disposing of amalgam particles and wastewater, helping to keep mercury out of our ecosystems and protecting the planet.
4. Holistic Patient Care
Dr. Nisar takes a whole-body approach to dentistry. By reducing toxic exposure, the SMART protocol supports patients seeking integrative or biologic dental care and complements your overall wellness goals.
5. Peace of Mind
Knowing that Dr. Baber Nisar follows a proven, internationally recognised standard for mercury removal gives you confidence that your treatment is as safe, gentle, and responsible as possible.
Thinking about replacing your old silver fillings? Schedule a consultation with Dr. Baber Nisar to discuss the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique. It’s the gold standard for protecting your health and the environment while refreshing your smile.
