Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal
Does your dentist still place mercury amalgam fillings? I am a dentist who is passionate about helping people have healthy and attractive teeth and gums. One way of making teeth attractive is the safe removal of old and ugly mercury amalgam fillings. But did you know that there are protocols to follow to remove amalgam safely? Not only is it important to be mercury free, but also to remove mercury amalgam safely.

The safe mercury amalgam removal protocols I follow include IV Vitamin C, rubber dam and a separate oxygen source. I have been doing these procedures for over 5 years, resulting in many happy patients. To support your immune system, I recommend advanced quality broad-spectrum nutritional supplements that contain the full spectrum of vitamins, chelated minerals, antioxidants including Vitamin D3.
I also recommend a follow-up appointment with a natural therapist for an Hg Detox program following safe amalgam removal. No matter which way you look at it, Mercury amalgam fillings are not attractive. Now there are better alternatives on the market and different options to suit your budget. I stopped placing amalgam fillings in 1995 and I remove amalgam fillings using safe protocols. I am a mercury free dentist.
One of the issues that doesn’t get discussed so much is the failure of amalgam fillings. They may last a long time but in the process, I have found that due to the expansion and contraction of the metal that has been placed in heavily carved out teeth, the tooth structure cracks and breaks after a period of time. By that stage, it is best to repair with an “instant” porcelain crown rather than another filling.
So not only do the amalgam fillings look ugly, they may cause damage to our teeth. Safely removing amalgam fillings can be a time consuming job depending on the number of amalgam filled teeth and where they are positioned. When patients can give me 30 minutes of their time, I take photos of the mouth using a digital camera – then I discuss and create a treatment plan.

Dear Simon, I’m a current student of the University of Auckland and had my 8 amalgams safely replaced by Brian Robinson in July 2010. I have been detoxing according to Andrew Cutlers protocol ever since (51 rounds completed so far). Brian Robinson isn’t a mercury free dentist I don’t think but does specialise in IAOMT safe amalgam removal. He replaced my 8 amalgams with diamond composites. I didn’t come across your practice at the time I was looking into it, but probably would have gone with you instead if I had since you’re fully mercury free. Anyway, what I want to know is if there’s any risk of mercury remaining in my teeth possibly under the new fillings? And if so, if this small amount of mercury could possibly be causing any problems? The detox isn’t making the progress I expected it to so I’m just going back to look at anything that could be hindering it. I’m not a dentist so really don’t have any idea if remaining mercury in my teeth could possibly be a concern. If you don’t mind could I please have your opinion on the issue? Cheers.
Hi there,
Im hoping to get my amalgams out but live in Palmerston North. Do you know of someone who does safe removal down this way? If not, i may have to come up to Auckland. How much per filling is it for removal and replacment?
Regards Kimberley
Hello Kimberley,
Possibly Ian Carpenter in Palmerston North may remove amalgams using safe protocols. Otherwise, there are holistic dentists in Wellington.
If you do decide to come to Auckland, there is a motel close to the dental office that other out-of-towners have used, if you do not have other accommodation.
I am unable to give costs until I exam the teeth as costs depend on the number and size of the amalgam to be removed.
Regards,
Simon
