Safe Amalgam Filling Removal
Many older “Silver” fillings contain up to 50% elemental mercury. These fillings can, over time, expand, causing microfractures in your teeth. or release trace amounts of mercury vapor. Replacing is a step toward holistic health.
- Prevents the inhalation or ingestion of toxic mercury vapors during the removal process.
- Replaces expanding metal with biocompatible materials.
- Supports a holistic lifestyle by removing heavy metals from your mouth.
S.M.A.R.T. Protocol
In Smile Makeover Playa del Carmen we follow the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) as established by the IAOMT.
-
Patient & Staff Protection
Chicken, turkey, white fish, white rice, pasta with white sauce, cauliflower, and egg whites.
-
Rubber Dam Isolation
A non-latex dental dam is used to isolate the tooth and protect the rest of your mouth.
-
High-Volume Suction & Air Filtration
Specialized oral aerosol vacuums are placed near the mouth to capture vapors instantly
-
Sectioning the Amalgam
The filling is sectioned into large pieces rather than being ground down, minimizing dust and heat
-
Continuous Water Cooling
We use a constant flow of cold water. This is critical because heat is the primary trigger for the release of toxic mercury vapor; keeping the filling cool keeps the vapor levels at a minimum.
-
Safe Removal & Disposal
Once removed, the amalgam is handled as hazardous waste.
-
Biocompatible Restoration
After the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated, we restore it using high-quality, BPA-free composite resins or porcelain.

Endodontics FAQ’s
How much does a root canal cost in Playa del Carmen?
The price of a root canal in Playa del Carmen starts at $350 USD, offering significant savings compared to U.S. and European prices.
Is a root canal in Mexico safe for expats?
Yes, Smile Makeover in Playa del Carmen uses the same international standards, sterilized equipment, and specialist doctors as found in the U.S. or Canada.
What is the SMART protocol for mercury removal?
It is a specific safety standard (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) designed to protect patients from mercury vapor during filling replacement.
Does a root canal treatment hurt?
No. With modern local anesthesia and rotary technology, most patients experience no more discomfort than with a standard filling.
How long does a root canal take?
Most procedures are completed in 1 to 2 visits, depending on the complexity of the infection and the type of restoration needed.
Why should I choose an inlay or onlay over a filling?
Inlays and onlays are more durable for larger cavities and help maintain the tooth's structural integrity better than a large composite filling.
Can I fly after getting a root canal in Playa del Carmen?
Yes, though we recommend waiting 24–48 hours to ensure there is no sensitivity due to cabin pressure changes.
Are your dentists fluent in English?
Absolutely. We cater specifically to the expat and international community in Playa del Carmen, ensuring clear communication.
Why do I need a crown after a root canal?
A root canal removes the tooth's blood supply, making it brittle. A crown protects it from fracturing under biting pressure.
