At Pacific Biological Dentistry, we prioritise your health and well-being through our meticulous and comprehensive approach to amalgam removal.
With over 20 years of dentistry experience, Dr. Kluge has developed a protocol that integrates advanced safety measures and holistic care to ensure the safest possible removal of dental amalgam.
Our practice follows the stringent guidelines of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) and utilises cutting-edge technology, including a Swiss-made air cleaning system, to protect both our patients and the environment.
By collaborating with your healthcare practitioners, we provide a personalised treatment plan that supports your overall health, ensuring you receive the highest level of clinical care in a safe and nurturing environment.
Dr. Kluge has over 20 years of dentistry experience and since 2011 has developed a comprehensive approach to dentistry, treating your teeth and your overall well-being.
“Because I believe passionately in health and well-being, I have always incorporated into my dental practice the safest possible ways to remove dental amalgam. Therefore, clients are best advised to have the correct diet and supplements before, during, and after the removal of amalgam. This should be done under the guidance of your treating Naturopath or General Practitioner.”
Commonly known as silver fillings, dental amalgam is made up of a mixture of mercury, silver, copper, tin, and in some cases, zinc. According to the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), all dental amalgams are 45-55% elemental mercury, which is toxic and recognized as a chemical of major concern due to its dangerous threat to one’s health. As mercury accumulates in the body, any amount of mercury taken into the body should be considered hazardous.
Dr. Kluge is pleased to advise that she follows the extensive safety recommendations developed by the IAOMT for the removal of existing dental mercury amalgam fillings using extensive protective measures during the procedure.
Our practice has a Swiss-made air cleaning system, which cleans the air by constantly drawing in polluted air and returning filtered air back into the room. It contains high-efficiency particulate filters, as well as substantial gas-phase filters for mercury vapours, disinfectants, and volatile organic compounds.
This system complements our protocol of using rubber dams, cutting in shanks, providing oxygen delivered via a nasal mask, using plenty of water, and special metal cutting burs during all amalgam procedures. Disposable items are replaced immediately after the amalgam restoration has been removed.
We recommend that you plan your treatment jointly with your healthcare practitioner so that the timing of events complements each other and does not interfere with results. Following our guidelines, in conjunction with a healthcare practitioner, will help you find the correct protocol that benefits you optimally.
You can be assured that you will receive the highest level of clinical care in a place that is as environmentally safe as can be with the current level of technology available.

Dentist Lilian spent time preparing me with diet and detox process 1st.Then today I had the fillings removed. I am so happy I found this dentist Lilian. She is also very calming and gentle .She followed a safe method to do the removal and I found the experience very good. Thankyou Lilian and also to your assistant. I highly recommend this dentist.
