Harmony's SMART page explains the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART), a protocol the site states was developed through the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) to remove amalgam ('silver') fillings and reduce mercury exposure to patients, doctors and clinical staff. The page states dental amalgam consists of 45-55% metallic mercury, and that when an amalgam filling is drilled out, mercury particles can become airborne and, if breathed in, distributed through the body; the SMART protocol is described as working to reduce exposure to mercury vapors during removal. The page outlines the office's SMART process: after a consult with one of the doctors, a personalized treatment plan is created to map out amalgam removal; on the removal day, steps include a pre-treatment and post-treatment rinse with activated charcoal, use of a rubber dam (vinyl) to isolate the tooth and keep mercury particles from contacting oral tissue, and delivery of clean, mercury-free air via a nasal mask to prevent inhalation of mercury particulate. The Holistic Dentistry page separately states the practice follows IAOMT amalgam removal protocols and links to a PDF of those protocols. The site does not state a price for SMART removal, and does not state that the procedure guarantees a health outcome; a person considering this service should discuss it directly with the office, since a treatment plan is described as personalized per patient after a consult.
