Dr. Roy Vegter is a mercury-free (amalgam/silver filling-free) and mercury-safe dentist and he is dedicated to practicing safe and high quality dentistry. His mission is to treat his patients in the most healthy, caring way possible and to share information about dental wellness with his patients so that they may make educated decisions about their oral health treatment. He fully understands the important relationship of oral to overall health and realizes that: “You cannot be truly healthy without good oral health!”
Dr. Vegter’s philosophy recognizes that the teeth and associated oral structures are a part of the whole body. Because of this important relationship, we offer a wide range of healthy treatment options. Because of his advanced dental training and emphasis on total health, Dr. Vegter takes a unique approach to oral health care; combining sound dental science, modern dental technology and latest techniques, and his personal experience with a deep concern for his patients’ physical and emotional well-being and comfort. Dr. Vegter believes that the mouth is the gateway to the whole body. For the past 10 years a growing body of evidence has linked periodontal health with heart disease, stroke, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and pancreatic cancer. Bleeding gums allow bacteria to flow through the bloodstream affecting the entire body.
