Safe Mercury Removal
Some of us have high sensitivities to certain materials and their by-products
All dental amalgam restorations, also commonly referred to as silver fillings, contain approximately 50% mercury1. Unsafe mercury removal can be harmful to the patient, dental professionals and the environment. Dr Nguyen is an accredited member of the IAOMT and one of the few certified dental providers who specializes in safe mercury-amalgam removal using the strict SMART protocol, which consists of:
Charcoal and chlorella to rinse and swallow before and after the treatment.
A dental dam is placed to isolate the tooth being worked on to avoid any contact with soft tissues or swallowing particles.
Protective garments are placed on the patient including surgical gown, hat, and face and neck shield.
Oxygen is delivered to the patient via a nasal canula during the mercury removal process.
A separate oral aerosol vacuum, with is placed 2 to 4 inches from the patient’s mouth to mitigate mercury exposure. Slow and high volume suction is also used at all times.
An amalgam separator is used to collect all mercury particles from being released into the environment.

Safe root canal teeth removal
Conventional root canals may rapidly relieve pain and get rid of the infection, however, it leaves behind bacteria in inaccessible places within the tooth. Potent metabolic waste and anaerobic toxins come slowly out of the tooth and into the body. Reinfection may appear in those root canal-treated teeth which may appear to show no sign of failure, nor pain. Unfortunately, there is no perfect disinfection of canals, because there is no regeneration of the pulp at the center of the tooth, with its blood supply, flow of fluids, and immune potency.
Dr. Pascal understands the effects of root canal treated teeth go beyond the oral cavity and can endager other parts of the body and cause systemic disease through the transfer of bacteria into the bloodstream.
Safe root canal removal consists in removing the tooth in the most a-traumatic way possible, removing periodontal ligaments attached to the tooth and cleansing deeply with ozone fumigation and laser technology. The patient’s blood matrix is then used called PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) with additional bone and placed in the site to promote healing, prevent infection and promote bone regrow therapy for a strong foundation.

Safe tooth extraction
Safe tooth extraction consists in removing the tooth in the most a-traumatic way possible, removing periodontal ligaments attached to the tooth and cleansing deeply with ozone fumigation and laser technology. The patient’s blood matrix is then used called PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) with additional bone and placed in the site to promote healing, prevent infection and promote bone regrowth for a strong foundation.
At PJN Dental, our patients can benefit from IV Vitamin C therapy to boost their immune system as well as the use of a PEMF ( Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy), which has been reported to produce anti-inflammatory and bone-healing effects by decreasing the production of free radicals and stimulating osteoblasts during any surgical procedure and leave home with a wellness package to assist in healing and recovery.
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF)
We draw an autogenous material that is drawn from a person’s own platelets and is used to enhance wound healing and tissue regeneration. It has been observed for decades that these platelets contain growth factors that are responsible for increase collagen production, blood vessels growth, and recruitment of other cells that migrate to the site of injury. PRF has been used in dentistry as an aid in preventing infection, healing and regeneration of cells in surgical sites.
At PJN Dental, our phlebotomy trained staff will draw the patient’s blood at the beginning of the surgery visit, then centrifuge and prepare the membrane which Dr Pascal will use to protect the site.


Metal Free Implants
Dental implants have traditionally been made of titanium, although PJN Dental has chosen to use an alternative to metal implants and uses Zirconia or ceramic implants for a number of reasons.
A dental implant is a ‘post’ that is inserted into the jaw bone to act as an artificial tooth root to replace a missing tooth. Once the implant has healed, usually 4 to 6 months, a crown is then placed which will look the same and function the same as a natural tooth.
Our metal free implants are the same color as teeth and are biocompatible, meanin they don’t trigger an immunological response that could lead to further complications. With an increase in the use of metals such as titanium for surgical purposes we are seeing a consequent increase in allergic reactions to these metals.
Zirconia does not have any risk of adverse reactions, as it does not corrode and also will not conduct electrogalvanic fields through the mouth and head as with metal implants. »

FOTONA Laser Technology
LightWalker lasers are designed for dental perfectionists and all forward-thinking professionals who wish to upgrade their daily dental experience with new treatment possibilities that only the latest laser technology can offer. Lasers offer an advantage in allowing a more conservative approach in dentistry. It provides means for improved cutting speed, finesse and comfort when treating hard and soft dental tissues. Removing as less healthy structure as possible when restoring teeth due to decay, is always key. Disinfection before placing new restorative material will also allow a more long term successful restoration.
When modifying soft tissue, the Fotona laser allows a much more comfortable experience and healing time is a fraction of time compared to traditional methods. The disinfection function also allows the doctor to cleanse areas of infection with more efficiency and depth. The Fotona laser offers dentists entirely new treatment possibilities and unmatched levels of precision that have not been seen before in the world of dentistry.
Key treatments in which PJN Dental uses the laser each and every time for their patients:
- Conservative dentistry
- Implant placement
- Extractions
- Cavitation surgery
- Nightlase
- Pain management
- Soft tissue modification
- Frenectomy
