About Our Mercury Safe Dental Practice
Dr. Lou Trovato’s "Mercury Safe Dentist" office is located in Hatboro, PA. He is mercury free (amalgam/silver filling free) and mercury safe. He and his biologic dental associate, Dr. Jose Alvarez, utilize mercury safe removal protocols based on the recommendations of the International Association of Mercury Safe Dentists (IAMSD) and of other prominent biological and holistic dental organizations. 

SMART Certified
The IAOMT has developed rigorous standards for safely removing mercury amalgam dental fillings by reducing the unnecessary and excessive exposure to mercury released from these fillings. The IAOMT's recommendations are known as the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART).

At this time, Dr. Trovato is one of a small number of IAOMT members who qualifies as a SMART Certified IAOMT dentist. With the SMART designation you can be confident that he is fully qualified to safely remove mercury amalgam (silver) fillings.

Dr. Lou’s technology in every operatory includes:

  • quiet electric hand pieces for exceptional precision
  • digital radiography for up to 90% less radiation exposure than conventional radiography
  • digital photography for a virtual tour of your mouth
  • Wand computer-controlled anesthesia-delivery devices
  • IQAir Dental HgFlex Vacs

Your comfort is always the priority of Dr. Trovato and of his biologic dental associate, Dr. Alvarez.  You’ll find a TempurPedic overlay on each operatory chair with a personal overhead flat screen TV, an aroma of fresh-baked, complimentary Otis Spunkmeyer cookies, and the warm flow of positive energy generated by the office’s Feng Shui design. Most importantly, their team of highly trained and genuinely caring individuals creates quality dental treatment in a healthy, personalized, and supportive environment.

Dr. Trovato holds three dental Fellowships, an honor earned by less than 1% of the dentists in the United States, and he is named by Consumers’ Research Council of America to its list of America’s Top Dentists year after year.  He is a board-certified NMD as well as an acclaimed dentist.  He belongs to the American Naturopathic Medical Association and to numerous dental notable associations, including: 

  • International Association of Mercury Safe Dentists (IAMSD)
  • Integrative Biologic Dental Medicine (IBDM)
  • American Academy of Craniofacial Pain (AACP): Fellow
  • Academy of General Dentistry (AGD): Fellow
  • Pennsylvania Craniomandibular Society: Past President 

Dr. Trovato invests over 200 hours every year in postgraduate education in holistic and traditional dentistry in order to integrate advanced dental science with sound medical, chiropractic, energetic, nutritional and environmental sciences. He knows that the manner in which a dentist treats the teeth, jaws, and related oral structures affects the entire body: skeletal/nerve complex, autonomic nervous system, organs, and extracellular matrix.

Dr. Trovato works closely with qualified health professionals - alternative healthcare providers, primary care physicians, ENT’s, chiropractors, nutritionists, and naturopaths. His goal is to maximize your oral health in direct relation to your overall health with techniques and technology that are personally and environmentally safe.

Patient Education
Our dental practice is dedicated to patient education.  As members of Dr. Tom McGuire's International Association of Mercury Safe Dentists (IAMSD), Dr. Lou and Dr. Jose work closely with him to provide important information to patients about oral health that can affect overall health, including issues related to mercury amalgam (silver) fillings.  Click on the appropriate link to access important information about these topics.  

NEW! Dr. Tom McGuire's new Video, Mercury: The Poison in Your Teeth conclusively proves that amalgam/silver fillings not only release toxic mercury vapor - but that the common act of brushing just one amalgam filling - will release more mercury than allowed by governmental regulatory agencies at the workplace! It also tells you what you can do about it. Click Here to watch this amazing video demonstration - and don’t forget to tell your friends and family! (You can also access it by searching YouTube for The Poison in Your Teeth or Tom McGuire, DDS.)
