At Avery Dental Wellness in Dublin, Ohio, our mission to preserve, protect and prevent guides every aspect of our care. That’s why we prioritize wellness-focused dentistry—looking at your oral health as part of your overall well-being. One important way we uphold that standard is by offering safe removal of mercury (amalgam) fillings.

Why Mercury Fillings Are Concerning

Dental amalgam, commonly known as “silver filling,” is about 50% elemental mercury combined with metals like silver, tin and copper. Over time, low levels of mercury vapor can be released—especially during chewing or grinding—and may be inhaled and absorbed by the body.

Emerging research links mercury exposure to various potential health concerns, including neurological symptoms, immune system disruptions, allergies, memory loss, mood changes and more. While many health organizations, including the FDA and ADA, consider amalgam fillings generally safe for most people, they advise caution or avoidance for vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, children under six, individuals with kidney issues and those with neurological diseases or mercury allergies.

Public health officials like Florida Surgeon General Dr. Ladapo have recently recommended discussing alternatives to amalgam with care providers due to mounting safety concerns.

Why We Offer Mercury Filling Removal

1. Wellness-First Philosophy: At Avery Dental Wellness, we don’t just patch issues—we address root causes. Safe removal of amalgam fillings aligns with our holistic, preventive focus.

2. Biocompatible Alternatives: We replace old fillings with tooth-colored, biocompatible materials that look natural and avoid unnecessary exposure to toxins.

3. Peace of Mind: Many patients find comfort knowing they’re reducing future exposure to mercury and improving oral health durability.

4. Safe Removal Protocols: It’s vital that removal is done safely to avoid mercury vapor exposure. We follow advanced techniques—such as high-volume suction, protective barriers and proper ventilation—to ensure safety throughout the process.

At Avery Dental Wellness in Dublin, Ohio, we believe in dentistry that preserves, protects and prevents—helping you achieve a healthy smile and lasting confidence. That’s why we’re proud to offer clear aligner therapy, a modern alternative to traditional braces designed for comfort, convenience and results.

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners, including Invisalign and SimplyClear, are custom-made trays that gently guide your teeth into their ideal position. Unlike metal braces, these aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed when eating, brushing or flossing—making them a discreet, lifestyle-friendly option for teens and adults.

Why Choose Clear Aligners?

• Discreet: The transparent trays are hardly noticeable.
• Comfortable: Smooth plastic design avoids the irritation caused by brackets and wires.
• Convenient: Eat your favorite foods and maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine.
• Effective: Treats crowded teeth, spacing issues and bite misalignments.

At Avery Dental Wellness in Dublin, Ohio, we believe that prevention is the heart of great dentistry. Led by Dr. Emily Dennison, DDS, our team takes a personalized, whole-health approach to oral care—one that goes beyond “fixing teeth” to focus on long-term wellness. One of the unique tools we use is saliva and bacteria testing, a quick, non-invasive way to learn more about your oral health.

What Is Saliva/Bacteria Testing?

Saliva testing involves collecting a small sample of your saliva and analyzing it for harmful bacteria and markers of disease. This painless test gives us insight into your risk for gum disease, cavities and other oral health issues—before they cause noticeable problems.

Why Is It Important?

Your mouth is the gateway to your overall health. Harmful bacteria linked to gum disease have been connected to conditions like diabetes, heart disease and even Alzheimer’s. By identifying bacteria early, we can create personalized treatment plans and protect more than just your smile.

Preventative Care at Avery Dental Wellness

Dr. Dennison and our team are passionate about helping patients stay ahead of problems with a preventative approach. From routine dental checkups and halitosis (bad breath) treatment to proactive dental wellness solutions, we focus on uncovering root causes rather than quick fixes.

A Friendlier, Healthier Dental Experience

Many patients tell us that visiting Avery Dental Wellness doesn’t feel like going to the dentist—it feels like a fresh start. With a spa-like atmosphere, modern technology and a gentle, judgment-free philosophy, our goal is to keep you comfortable while protecting your smile and overall health.
