What's different about how you remove metal fillings?
Why don't you use silver (amalgam) fillings?
Silver fillings (also known as amalgam fillings) contain a mix of metals, including mercury. While they’ve been widely used for decades, we choose not to place them for a few important reasons:
- Biocompatibility: We prefer to use materials that are more compatible with your body and less likely to cause sensitivity or long-term concerns.
- Aesthetics: Tooth-colored composite fillings blend beautifully with your natural teeth.
- Mercury concerns: Although the research on mercury exposure is still evolving, we choose to avoid it as a precaution—especially when safer, more modern materials are available.
If you already have silver fillings, there’s no need to panic. But if they’re cracked, leaking, or need to be replaced, we can safely remove them using protective protocols.
Do you recommend supplements?
Yes—when appropriate. We offer Fullscript access for high-quality supplements and partner with your healthcare provider when needed. Always check with your doctor before starting anything new.

What is ozone therapy and why do you use it?
Ozone therapy uses a special form of oxygen (O₃) to support healing and reduce harmful bacteria. In dentistry, we use medical-grade ozone gas or ozonated water to clean areas in the mouth, promote tissue repair, and support the body’s natural healing process. It’s a gentle, non-toxic way to enhance procedures like cleanings, fillings, and extractions—especially helpful in holistic and biological care.
