Mercury Safe Dentistry
Dr. Saylor is convinced that mercury is very toxic and it does not belong in your mouth. There are better materials and it no longer has a place in dentistry. Your silver fillings are 50% mercury and this is released when chewing and when brushing. Any stimulation that heats amalgam (silver filling) releases mercury vapor. It doesn’t take much exposure to mercury to be harmful. You can’t see, smell or taste this vapor.
We are not only a mercury-free dental office (i.e. we don’t use mercury fillings) , but we are committed to removing the mercury fillings you DO have in a way that is safe to both you and the environment.
Dr. Saylor instructing at the Scottsdale Center

Dr. Saylor has recently returned from instructing at a continuing education course at the Spear Institute at the Scottsdale Center for Dentistry in Scottsdale, Arizona. He was the mentor instructor for two dentists. One Dr. focused was on posterior teeth (back teeth) and the other focused on eight cosmetic veneers. Each Dr. brought a patient from their practice along with their assistant to learn new techniques in restorative and cosmetic dentistry. The Scottsdale Center is the “Harvard” “of dental continuing education institutes in the United States. Dentists who are committed to offering the very best in dentistry attend this world class Institution. Dr. Saylor feels very fortunate to have been invited to be a mentor instructor with this group of exceptional dentists. In fact, he has found the biggest benefit to his patients, is in what helearns while mentoring other dentists. Dental materials are constantly changing and improving. A product which has shown remarkable promise for instance is, a new, all porcelain material used for crowns and inlays/onlays. E-max by Ivoclar provides a very strong and natural restoration. Be sure to ask if you are a candidate for an E-Max restoration.
