SMART Safe Mercury Removal In Boca Raton
To the only SMART certified dentist in Boca Raton, offering a safe solution for replacing outdated silver fillings. In the past, amalgam fillings were commonly used for back teeth due to their durability. However, tooth-colored fillings and crowns are now the standard alternatives, providing superior quality without any concerns about mercury vapor in the mouth.

Will I Have a White Filling after My Amalgam Is Removed?
Dr. Rizvi may recommend replacing your silver mercury filling with a natural, metal-free, tooth-colored composite filling if it is old or large. If the filling has caused a tooth crack, a tooth crown may be a better option for stability. Dr. Rizvi will discuss these options with you and explain the potential results of each, so you can choose the best option for your dental health and lifestyle.
