Special suction devices on the chair capture mist as soon as it forms. Multi-stage filters, including HEPA H13 and activated carbon, then clean the air as it circulates through rooms and hallways. Regular checks keep the system running reliably.
During certain procedures, we also watch for mercury vapor that can be released from older fillings. Extra measures—such as isolation, high-volume evacuation, and steady ventilation—help protect both patients and staff throughout treatment.
Safe disposal is equally important. We use amalgam separators and sealed containers, with regular pickups and trained staff, so waste is handled according to regulations.
Cleaner air means fewer odors, less noise, and shorter, more comfortable appointments. Families appreciate a setting where care feels calm and safe.
When removing or replacing amalgam fillings, our team uses protective steps like rubber dam isolation and strong evacuation. This limits unnecessary exposure while keeping the procedure efficient. Clear instructions and simple aftercare tips are always shared before you leave.
Fresh, clean air also helps dentists do their best work. Visibility improves, surfaces stay cleaner, and results with bonding, impressions, or surgery remain more predictable. By keeping operatories consistent, we make every visit smoother and more reliable.
Your trusted dentist in Franklin Park will walk you through findings, answer questions, and explain practical next steps that fit your needs and comfort.
