Do you have an old filling? Mercury in amalgam fillings could be harmful to your health. We offer safe amalgam and mercury filling removal with Dr. Kellie Jones. Using advanced SMART techniques and protocols, we ensure your procedure is as safe and comfortable as possible, supporting your journey towards better oral and overall health.
"I have had a few bits of treatment done at Smile Hub. Staff are very friendly and always make you feel welcome. Very professional in all aspects. Price is reasonable for the City. Would highly recommend."
Amalgam fillings, often called "silver fillings," contain 50% mercury alongside other metals like silver, tin, and copper. While durable, these fillings release mercury vapour during everyday activities like chewing and grinding. Prolonged exposure to mercury can lead to serious health concerns, including:
Neurological issues
Developmental problems in children
Risks for pregnant women and their babies
At Smile Hub, we follow advice from health organisations, including the World Health Organisation and the Health and Safety Executive, to promote safer alternatives and provide mercury filling removal for your peace of mind.
Dr Kellie Jones is one of only a few dentists in the UK to have Safe Mercury Amalgam removal (SMART) accreditation, which involves extensive training in holistic dentistry.
As a member of the British Society for Mercury-Free Dentistry, she is dedicated to providing care that supports your health and well-being. At Smile Hub, we help you transition to safer, mercury-free fillings with an approach that prioritises your comfort and long-term health.
Dr. Jones is available at our Spitalfields practice on Tuesdays and Fridays.
A step-by-step guide
Begin with a 50-minute consultation (£150) with Dr. Jones, who will assess your fillings and discuss replacing them with biocompatible materials such as composite or porcelain.
On the day of your procedure, the treatment room is set up with specialist equipment to ensure safety, including:
- High-volume air filtration
- Protective gowns for you and the team
- External air nasal masks to prevent inhaling mercury vapour
Amalgam fillings are carefully sectioned and removed in large pieces to reduce exposure. Your mouth is then thoroughly rinsed with water and a chlorella-rich solution to aid detoxification.
A dental dam protects your mouth while a specialised aerosol vacuum captures mercury vapour.
Your fillings will be restored with BPA-free composite materials or prepared for porcelain restorations. Dr Kellie may also recommend nutritional support to aid detoxification and enhance your overall health.
Every step of our process follows SMART protocols, ensuring minimal exposure to mercury for both patients and staff. Our measures include:
High-speed evacuation devices to capture mercury discharge
Charcoal or chlorella rinses before and after the procedure
Use of non-latex nitrile gloves and materials
Amalgam separators to prevent mercury waste from entering the environment
If you’re concerned about mercury exposure or want to replace your amalgam fillings with safer materials, book a consultation with Dr. Kellie Jones at Smile Hub. Together, we’ll create a personalised plan to protect your health and enhance your smile.
