Safe Mercury Amalgam-Silver Filling Removal
As your Oral Health Doctor, Dr. Grube is aware that mercury vapor, dental infections, and TMJ (bite) problems can have a negative impact on oral and overall health. Because of this concern, we focus on patient education and strive to remove mercury amalgam (silver) fillings in a safe way.

To accomplish this, she utilizes removal protocols based on recommendations of the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM), International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), Dr. Hal Huggins, and other prominent holistic dental organizations. This Whole Body philosophy stresses the use of biocompatible dental materials and non-invasive treatment whenever possible.
