What is an Amalgam Separation System?
While amalgam fillings are often being replaced by composite or porcelain tooth-colored fillings, its removal poses both a health and environmental hazard.
Many dentists recommend making the switch to composite fillings with little to no regard of the harmful health effects of its removal. Dr. Fotek takes this very seriously hence she follows the strict guidelines set by IAOMT and the SMART protocol for mercury amalgam removal. This is just the first step.

To protect the environment and more important the wastewater lines, Dr. Fotek has installed a Mercury Amalgam Separation System. The Mercury Amalgam Seperator has been put in place to capture amalgam fillings as they are being removed. The amalgam particles from the drilled amalgam fillings are captured before entering the sewage system this preventing future water system contamination.
