If you’re considering replacing an amalgam filling, you may have come across the term SMART.

SMART stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique. It is a protocol designed to reduce exposure to mercury vapour and particles while an amalgam filling is being removed.

At Evolve, SMART amalgam removal is available for adults who have made an informed decision to replace their amalgam fillings.

Importantly, we don’t suggest that everyone should have their amalgam fillings removed, and we don’t make claims that removing them will improve your general health.

In this video, we explain what the SMART approach involves and why someone might choose it.

Why do dentists recommend fluoride toothpaste?

Because fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and makes teeth more resistant to decay.

It’s one of those small, everyday habits that can make a meaningful difference to your oral health over time.

In this short video, Yasmin explains why fluoride is recommended and why the toothpaste you use matters.

Simple advice, but an important part of looking after your teeth between appointments.

💚 A little perspective from Zambia…

Carol has shared some more photos from her volunteering trip, along with a statistic that really puts things into perspective.

🇿🇲 In Zambia, there are just 450 dentists for a population of 21 million people.

That’s approximately one dentist for every 47,000 people.

For many communities, accessing dental care is incredibly difficult, and treatment that we might take for granted here in the UK simply isn’t readily available.

It’s a powerful reminder of how important access to dental care is, and why trips like this can make such a difference.

We’re incredibly proud of Carol for giving her time and skills to help people who might otherwise struggle to receive the care they need.

And we’re loving seeing the photos and hearing about her experiences along the way! 💚

Evolve didn’t begin with a treatment list. It began with an idea about how going to the dentist could feel.

Carol wanted to create a practice where excellent dentistry and genuinely thoughtful patient care sat side by side. Somewhere people felt listened to, comfortable asking questions and involved in decisions about their care.

In this short video, Carol shares why she started Evolve and what she wanted to create.

Nearly [X] years later, that original idea still shapes the way we look after people every day.

Being shortlisted for Team of the Year means a lot to us, but not because of the trophy.

It’s because dentistry is never the work of one person.

It’s the nurse who notices you’re nervous before you’ve said a word. The reception team member who remembers the conversation you had last time. The clinician who takes time to explain something again. The person behind the scenes making sure your visit runs smoothly.

Those small things happen every day at Evolve, and they only happen because people care about the experience we create together.

So being a finalist gives us a lovely excuse to say something we probably don’t say often enough: we’re incredibly proud of this team.

If you’ve never visited Evolve before, here’s a little look around.

We know that walking into a new dental practice can feel daunting, particularly if it’s been a while since your last appointment.

We’ve designed Evolve to feel calm, welcoming and a little different from what you might expect from a dental practice.

But the most important part isn’t the building. It’s how you’re made to feel when you’re here.

Come in, make yourself comfortable in our patient lounge and let us look after you.

Gum disease can be surprisingly easy to overlook.

Bleeding when you brush, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath or gums that seem to be receding are all things worth paying attention to.

The important thing is not to wait until something hurts. Gum disease can develop without causing pain, which is one reason regular dental and hygiene appointments matter.

In this short video, Yasmin explains some of the signs to look out for.

If you’ve noticed a change in your gums, mention it at your next appointment or get in touch with the team.
