One single missing tooth can greatly change the way you smile, if not stop you from smiling all together. In any case, your smile depends on a full set of healthy vibrant teeth. Although a single missing tooth may not seem urgent, it can affect your bite, lead to bone loss in your jaw, and cause damage to surrounding teeth. However, Dr. Fotek offers a highly sophisticated method for replacing missing teeth. Contact us at our Jupiter office today to learn more about how a dental implant can replace both the form and function of a real tooth.
Except for your wisdom teeth, all of the teeth in your mouth serve three different purposes:
Dr. Fotek recognizes the impact of toxic dental materials like mercury and the detrimental effects they can have. She strives to find materials that are systemically compatible and safe for both you and the environment.Want to learn more about mercury free dentistry?

We have chosen in our practice to do away from any mercury/silver fillings also known as amalgam fillings. Majority of the population do not realize that these fillings are composed of mercury. It is also important to acknowledge that mercury is the most toxic nonradioactive substance on earth. If spilled, OSHA has special protocols in place for their cleanup. Since the main component of amalgam fillings is mercury, we do not feel this restoration is warranted as a safe dental material. Published research has shown that mercury is more toxic than lead, cadmium or arsenic.The World Health Organization (WHO) research has concluded that mercury containing dental fillings contribute to more mercury body burden than all other sources combined. They have also shown that mercury exposure can be greatly increased by personal habits such as bruxism and gum-chewing. We feel that there is no safe amount of mercury exposure, for this reason, in our practice we institute protocols for their safe removal.
Our group’s philosophy is “less dentistry is the best dentistry” or, better said: “There is no dentistry like no dentistry.” Much of the amputation of tooth structure can be eliminated with modern science. We can say that tooth preservation and dental conservation lie at the heart of biomimetic dentistry. The economic implications of not needing the advanced, invasive care seen in traditional (amputational) dentistry have profound positive effects on people’s lives. We can now help patients create healthy and happy mouths with simple, and often painless techniques!
