About Janet Stopka
Janet S. Stopka, DDS, PC is a biological dental clinic at 16W289 83rd Street, Suite D, in Burr Ridge, Illinois, serving patients from Orland Park, Palos Heights and surrounding communities. The clinic's stated approach is to use dental skills and tools to seek the safest, least toxic route to the goals of dentistry, treating the mouth as connected to overall health rather than as a separate system. Work recorded here spans mercury-safe amalgam removal following the protocol outlined by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, biocompatible materials, ceramic crowns, treatment of cracked and structurally compromised teeth, ozone therapy, and veneers. Restorative planning favours preserving natural tooth structure where it can still carry function, with crown materials chosen against strength requirements, position in the arch and patient preference.

Common Questions
What protocol is followed when existing amalgam fillings are removed?
The methods used in amalgam removal here are those outlined by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.
How does the clinic define biological dentistry?
In the clinic's own words, it means using dental skills and tools to always seek the safest, least toxic way to accomplish the goals of dentistry, which requires recognising the connection between oral health and overall health.
When is a ceramic crown indicated, and what does the sequence involve?
A crown is indicated when a tooth can no longer reliably carry everyday occlusal load, typically after deep decay, structural damage or extensive prior dentistry.
Which crown materials are available at this clinic?
Several material classes are offered: tooth-coloured porcelain and ceramic, and metal-based restorations. Selection is driven by the strength the restoration must carry, its position in the mouth, and patient preference, with enamel-matching materials often chosen for anterior teeth. The clinic states it focuses on preserving natural teeth wherever that remains possible.
