Dr. Janet S. Stopka

Janet S. Stopka, DDS, PC is a solo biological dental practice located in Burr Ridge, Illinois, led by Dr. Janet S. Stopka. Dr. Stopka has over 30 years of experience in biological dentistry and identifies explicitly as a biological dentist, defining that approach as seeking the safest and least toxic methods to accomplish dental goals while recognizing the real connection between oral health and overall health. She is an Air Force veteran and has been a member of the IAOMT for 30 years, including serving as a past president of the organization.

Services include mercury-safe amalgam removal using the IAOMT SMART protocol, ozone therapy, zirconia (metal-free) dental implants, fluoride-free dentistry, biocompatible dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign, porcelain veneers, crowns and bridges, periodontal treatment, oral surgery, dental hygiene, and sedation dentistry. The practice makes a clear distinction between “mercury-free” (not placing new amalgam) and “mercury-safe” (following a rigorous protective protocol when removing existing amalgam), and Dr. Stopka falls firmly in the latter category.

Her amalgam removal protocol follows IAOMT SMART guidelines, and the practice explicitly offers fluoride-free care, biocompatible dentistry, and zirconia implants as a metal-free alternative to titanium. The practice’s blog contains extensive educational content on topics including the health risks of mercury in fillings, fluoride-free dentistry, ozone therapy, and the mouth-body connection, reflecting a sustained commitment to patient education on environmental dental toxins. The website accepts CareCredit for financing. Insurance acceptance is not specifically addressed on the website, and no mention of virtual consultations is made.
