Air & mercury filtration
Advanced systems for clean air and responsible waste management, maintained to standards beyond what regulation requires.
Air quality management
High-efficiency air filtration operates throughout the practice — in every operatory, in the surgical suite, and in common areas. These systems capture airborne particulates, aerosols, and contaminants generated during treatment.
This matters most during procedures that produce aerosols: polishing, scaling, and high-speed preparation. Those are also among the most routine things we do, which is why the filtration runs continuously rather than being switched on for specific cases.
Mercury management
Amalgam separators capture mercury-containing waste from every operatory before anything reaches the drain, and that waste is handled through licensed disposal rather than the water system.
This is relevant to any practice that removes old silver fillings, which we do routinely. Doing it responsibly is a matter of environmental protection rather than patient safety — but it is the right standard regardless of which.
Why we go beyond the minimum
For Patients
Cleaner air in the operatory during aerosol-generating procedures, and a demonstrably controlled environment for immunocompromised or medically complex patients.
For Staff
Our team spends forty hours a week in this air. The standard we set for them is necessarily higher than the standard set for a patient visiting twice a year.
For the Environment
Dental mercury is a genuine environmental contaminant when handled carelessly. Proper capture and licensed disposal is straightforward to do correctly.
