Going Beyond the Drill: 5 Ways a SMART-Certified Dentist Protects Your Whole Health
If you are searching for a dentist who looks at more than just your teeth, look no further than Carolinas BioHealth Dentistry. As a SMART-certified provider (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique), Dr. Wynne goes the extra mile to ensure dental procedures are safe for your body and environmentally responsible. But being SMART-certified is about more than just removing fillings—it’s a philosophy of care that protects your whole health.
Here are five ways working with a SMART-certified dentist makes a meaningful difference:
1. Safe and Thorough Mercury Removal
SMART certification through the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) ensures dentists follow strict protocols when removing silver fillings that contain mercury. This includes specialized equipment, protective barriers, and proper ventilation to minimize mercury exposure. Our team uses these safeguards to protect not just your oral health, but your entire body and the environment. These procedures meet or exceed globally recognized safety standards.
2. A Biocompatible Approach to Materials
SMART-certified dentists go beyond traditional dentistry by evaluating which materials are best tolerated by your body. We use materials that are metal-free, BPA-free, and bio-friendly, which reduces the risk of adverse reactions and helps support long-term wellness. This thoughtful approach means your fillings, crowns, and other restorations will be chosen with your unique biology in mind. Your body is a system, and every part—including dental materials—should work in harmony with it.
3. Focus on Air and Water Safety
Mercury particles can become airborne or enter wastewater during dental procedures. SMART-certified dentists like Dr. Wynne take additional steps to prevent contamination. His office uses specialized filters, separators, and air purification systems that protect patients, staff, and the environment—keeping the Clemmons community cleaner and safer. It’s a commitment not just to oral health, but to public health and sustainability as well.
4. Whole-Body Wellness Philosophy
A SMART-certified dentist is trained to look at the mouth as part of the whole body. Oral health is connected to heart health, inflammation, immune response, and more. Dr. Wynne considers these connections during diagnosis and treatment, offering recommendations that align with your total health goals. He collaborates with other holistic practitioners when needed and emphasizes prevention just as much as restoration. This leads to more proactive care and better long-term outcomes
5. Education, Transparency, and Patient Empowerment
SMART-certified dentists value patient education and informed decision-making. Our team takes the time to explain every procedure, shares the science behind our recommendations, and helps you weigh up your options. This open, educational approach empowers you to take charge of your health in a way that makes you feel collaborative and respectful. From initial consultation to post-treatment care, you will be an informed partner in every step of your dental journey.

I came in, I was referred to Dr. Wynne and his office by my integrative doctor. I’m a cancer patient in remission, and I was advised to have my mercury fillings removed. I had quite a few mercury fillings.
So I am just amazed at how much better I feel since they’ve been removed.
I wasn’t expecting that, but just coming here, I felt so comfortable. I was made comfortable every time I came in for a visit, and I came in for several visits because again, I had quite a few to be removed and I also had my front teeth redesigned, so I had those capped. Everything just went beautifully. I couldn’t be more pleased with the attention, the kindness, and the caring that I have received here. The people here are wonderful. They’re very professional. My product, my result, is beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t have asked for better. I’m very grateful to be a patient here and continue to be a patient here.
