Mercury detox is a supportive program designed to help your body process and clear mercury after your amalgam fillings have been safely removed. It's not a stand-alone treatment — it's offered as a follow-up step that works alongside the physical removal of mercury fillings, which always comes first.

At The Holistic Dental Center, we work with trusted detox partners, including the Healthy You Detox Center, to coordinate supportive options like supplements or other detox protocols suited to your needs. Dr. Bentler or Dr. Simmons will discuss whether a detox program may be a good fit for you after your mercury filling removal is complete.
Supports recovery. Some patients want extra support for their body after mercury fillings are removed.
Personalized approach. Programs can be tailored based on your health history and goals.
Always a follow-up step. Detox support comes after, not instead of, the actual filling removal.

No. Mercury detox is a supportive program that follows the physical removal of mercury fillings. It is not a replacement for that procedure, which always needs to happen first.
No, it's entirely optional. Some patients choose to pursue additional support, while others don't. Your dentist can discuss whether it might be worth considering for you.
This varies by provider and individual needs. We can refer you to trusted partners, who can walk you through their specific approach.
Evidence on detox protocols varies, and they aren't considered medical treatments on their own. We present this as an optional, supportive option for interested patients, not a guaranteed health outcome.
Yes, that's a good idea, especially if you have existing health conditions or take medications. Your physician can help you decide if a detox program is appropriate for you.
If you're interested in detox support, your dentist will discuss options and can refer you to a trusted partner for further guidance. This is always optional and happens after your fillings have been safely removed — never as a substitute for that procedure.
