Everything patients ask about SMART amalgam removal, mercury filling removal, cost, safety and booking at Harmony Medical Center, Jumeirah, Dubai.
What is SMART amalgam removal?
SMART amalgam removal stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique — a protective protocol developed by the IAOMT for removing mercury fillings with minimum exposure to mercury vapour. It uses rubber dam isolation, sectional removal, high-volume suction, supplemental oxygen and patient protective coverings to protect the patient, clinical team and environment during removal of amalgam dental fillings.
Is mercury filling removal safe?
Yes — when performed using the SMART protocol by a trained biological dentist, mercury filling removal is safe, controlled and well-tolerated. At Harmony Jumeirah Dubai, the full SMART protocol is followed on every case, significantly reducing mercury exposure during the procedure.
How to remove mercury fillings safely?
The safest way to remove mercury fillings is through the SMART protocol at a biological dentistry clinic equipped with the correct suction, filtration and patient protection systems — rubber dam isolation, sectional chunk removal, high-volume evacuation, supplemental oxygen, activated charcoal pre-rinse and full body protective covering. Harmony Medical Center in Jumeirah Dubai follows all of these steps on every SMART removal case.
Does amalgam removal hurt?
No. SMART amalgam removal is performed under local anaesthesia. Most patients experience only mild pressure or vibration during the procedure and no pain. Some patients have mild sensitivity for a day or two afterwards which resolves quickly. Most patients return to normal activity the same day.
Should I remove my amalgam fillings?
This is a personal decision best made with a qualified biological dentist. Many patients choose to remove amalgam fillings as part of a holistic dental care approach, when fillings are old or deteriorating, when they have metal sensitivities or chronic health concerns, or simply when they prefer a mercury-free, non-toxic dental environment.
Do all amalgam fillings need to be removed?
Not necessarily all at once. Your biological dentist will evaluate each filling individually — its age, condition, size and location — and prioritise removal based on clinical need and your health goals.
What replaces amalgam fillings after SMART removal?
After SMART amalgam removal at Harmony Dubai, the tooth is restored with a tooth-coloured composite or ceramic filling — biocompatible, metal-free, mercury-free and precisely matched to your natural tooth colour. The amalgam to composite process is completed in most cases in a single appointment.
How much does amalgam removal cost in Dubai?
