Smile in Style with Dr. Terry Rose

Smile in Style with Dr. Terry Rose

When I graduated my aunt was diagnosed with a neurological disease. She had tests done and she had high levels of mercury in her system, at that time it was fairly contentions whether this contributed to neurological diseases.

I did a lot of study at the time and since and that was probably really what got me interested in holistic dentistry.

As the years went on there were lots of other different cases that puzzled me and I obviously tried to present the best products in the business and inventions.

One of the major attractions is we have a high-tech office and we offer a lot of treatments, including laser treatments, CEREC, orthodontics, guided implants surgeries, safe amalgam removals.
So, patients come to see us for those high-tech angles, holistic angles and probably because we have a fairly relax treatment atmosphere.

We are supported by a bright team of dentists, hygienists, nurses, receptionists who have been with us for many years which is a fair amount of continuity for people.

Our goal is to work together with you to achieve your healthiest, most attractive smile while ensuring your comfort and satisfaction. Call on +61-3-8400-4104 | +61-3-8001-6021

Safe Amalgam Removal Protocol

  • Chlorella drink prior is given prior to treatment and a mouth rinse post-treatment. Chlorella can help bind and prevent mercury absorption.
  • Physical protective barriers - Masks, protective coverings, eyewear, in-mouth non-latex dental dams, and other steps are taken to prevent physical contact with mercury for the patient and staff.
  • Oral evacuation - Generous amounts of water are used to continuously rinse particulate matter from the mouth while suctioning it away. Combined with protective dental dams, this prevents patients from swallowing dental amalgam particles during treatment. Additionally, the rinsing helps lower the temperature of the filling, reducing the amount of mercury vapour released.
  • External air - A continuous supply of non-contaminated air or oxygen is delivered via a mask or similar apparatus, preventing inhalation of mercury vapour or particles.
  • "Chunk it out" method - Rather than using a drill to grind the filling down, it is carefully removed in the largest possible pieces, minimising friction, vaporisation.
  • High Volume Evacuation Suction is used by the dental assistant to remove amalgam particles in the mouth.
  • High Volume Air suction and Air Purifiers are used in the clinical room that is able to remove mercury vapour from the room.
  • Amalgam separator use - This device collects mercury-contaminated waste before it can enter the sewage system, allowing us to dispose of it safely.
