Until all amalgam is gone, the best that can be done is beef up natural detox systems. DMSA will leach too much from remaining fixtures. Protective supplements include all of the anti-oxidants...C, E, A, and selenium. Selenium helps to neutralize free mercury. Bentonite clay and/or zeolite and/or chlorella will bind mercury in the gut that your detox system sends there. So all of the above are your weapons until all amalgams are gone.Maybe it will take a year or two to afford the cost and everything, but I would definitely get the crowns and the roots taken care of so there is no doubt whatsoever that all amalgam is gone.
The biological dentist I went to used a lot of safety measures including activated charcoal in my mouth and a constant vacuum sucking vapor and particles from my mouth. He wore a gas mask and protective suit, as did his assistant. My doc had me get a Vit C IV drip immediately afterwards, but honestly I think it was a waste. I think the smarter thing to do is take activated charcoal tablets, chlorella tabs, and bentonite clay, for a few days. Start two days before and continue three days after. That will mop up most of the unavoidable exposure.
Amalgams under crowns will leach mercury through the bone and into the gums, though at a slower pace than the direct vapor contact of exposed amalgams. It would not be unusual to find the gum tissue in the root area of that tooth to be tainted metalic color. Hopefully not.
I know it is expensive. I could not possibly say leave them there and they won't be a problem. For the sake of honesty, I have to say you should get them repaired no matter the cost. It is not as urgent as amalgam fillings, so you can spread it out over a year or two.
It doesn't matter whether the dentist thinks it is ok to leave them there or not. Dentists do not agree on this issue, so it will vary depending on who you talk to.
My dentist was so anti-amalgam he gave me a huge price cut and squeezed me in his busy schedule by opening the shop an hour early for me. My regular mainstreet dentist didn't think there were any worries. Rather than debate with him, I asked him, "where would you dispose of the amalgam material you remove from my mouth?" His answer was that it has to go to a hazardous waste dump. But it's ok to stay in my mouth?
My point is, it is your life, your body, your teeth, your money, your insurance, so you can decide for yourself as a customer what you want done and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. It isn't their mouth and it isn't their mercury to worry about. It's all yours.
When someone is perfectly healthy without symptoms, this isn't a big concern. Sooner or later most people will get symptoms, but it will be named something else (arthritis, alzheimers, parkinsons, heart disease, etc) and be considered normal aging. I propose strongly that whatever disease it was, it would have been significantly postponed, diminished, or prevented by not ever having mercury in the first place.
So we kind of have to be our own advocates sometimes, because if we don't, no one else is going to do it for us.
