IAOMT-Compliant Mercury Filling Removal
If you have an old metal amalgam filling that needs replacement, Dr. Bana performs safe mercury filling removal here at Miami Sedation and Cosmetic Dentistry.
There is no need to remove a metal filling in good condition, but if you have one that breaks, leaks, or is otherwise failing, we can remove it safely and replace it with a beautiful tooth-colored restoration.
WHAT DOES IAOMT-COMPLIANT MEAN?
The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) protects public health and the environment with their research of the biocompatibility of dental products. Dr. Bana follows certain safety protocols to keep mercury filling removal IAOMT-compliant in our office.
Sealants
Dental sealant is a thin, protective coating that adheres to the chewing surface of teeth and is particularly effective in preventing decay in the back molars.
Oral hygiene due diligence is still a must, but an added measure to stop decay in its tracks can’t be a bad thing! Sealants often last several years and may even be covered by your insurance. They can be applied in one office visit. Some descriptions invite you to think of sealants as “raincoats for your teeth”.
