Frequently Asked Questions

Will my health insurance help?
Most probably not. If we can demonstrate by a blood test that confirms whether or not your immune system is sensitised to mercury or that you have a body burden of toxic metals; then you may have a slight chance with medical insurance. Dental insurance will not help unless the old amalgam fillings are broken and need replacing from a functional standpoint.

How quickly will I see results?
Approximately, 90% of patients will experience improvement in their symptoms.
Some patients begin to feel better with the pre-removal nutritional program. Others notice a difference during actual treatment. Still others get better gradually.

Will you protect me from further exposure to mercury during the amalgam removals?
Yes. I follow the protocol established by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, which is the leading research and teaching organisation in this field.

How many visits are involved?
It may take as many as 10 but usually 6 visits will suffice. Four of the visits are used for the amalgam removal with 10 days between visits.

Will it hurt?
I do everything necessary to minimize any pain or discomfort that you might have. It does me no good to hurt you.

How much will it cost?
The answer to that depends on how many amalgam fillings you have and the type of biocompatible materials that we use as replacements, we will give you a comprehensive estimate before any replacement treatment is commenced.
