3 Ways to Make Your Dental Practice Safer, Smarter, and Greener This Fall

October is more than the start of a new season; it’s Customer Appreciation Month at Solmetex, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the impact you’ve made this year. Every time you choose solutions that keep patients safe, streamline care, and protect the environment, you’re shaping a better future for dentistry.
Here’s a quick look at what you’ve already accomplished in 2025:
- Over 5 tons of mercury waste kept out of public water systems with proper amalgam separation.
- 40% less water used when switching to the Solmetex NXT DryVac.
- 99.5% of mercury removed from water before returning it to the community supply with the NXT Hg5 Amalgam Separator.
- 50x less waste generated by choosing autoclavable DryShield mouthpieces.
- 25% faster procedures, giving you more time to care for patients.
- Millions of liters of water saved across U.S. practices by switching to Sterisil Straws and Systems.
- Significant reduction of chemical waste by choosing silver ions over bleach and iodine.
That’s an incredible achievement — and this month, we want to celebrate you with special offers across all three brands: Solmetex, Sterisil, and DryShield.
As we step into fall, it’s the perfect time to refresh and strengthen your practice. Here are three ways you can make your practice safer, smarter, and greener — and the limited-time October promotions that make it easier than ever.

Safer: Protect Patients and Teams with Sterisil
Safe dental water isn’t optional — it’s essential. Every patient who sits in your chair deserves the peace of mind that comes with knowing their treatment water meets the highest standards of safety and compliance.
With Sterisil’s silver-ion technology, you’re doing more than treating waterlines. You’re:
- Saving up to 500 liters of water per practice per year by eliminating the need for daily draining.
- Reducing chemical dependency by switching to silver-ion technology, thereby eliminating iodine and bleach use from your DUWL protocol.
- Cutting down on non-recyclable waste, using 50–75% less per test when using FASTCheck15™ instead of traditional paddle or R2A tests.
- Preventing bacterial outgrowth that begins the moment a water bottle is opened.
That’s not just safer for your patients; it’s safer for your team, your practice, and the planet too.
October Customer Appreciation Offer:
From October 22–31, purchase 3 Sterisil Starter Kits and get 1 FREE.
It’s the ideal time to onboard your practice to safer, simpler, and more sustainable waterline treatment.

2. Smarter: Streamline Care and Comfort with DryShield
Time is one of the most valuable resources in any dental practice. With DryShield isolation, you save time without compromising care — and your patients reap the benefits, too.
Here’s what you’ve achieved with DryShield this year:
- Reduced procedure times by 25% or more, giving you back valuable chair time and helping you care for more patients in a day.
- Made dentistry more comfortable for patients of all ages and sizes, reducing stress and improving their overall dental experience.
- Helped the planet by generating 50x less waste with autoclavable mouthpieces.
That’s smarter dentistry: efficient for the practice, comfortable for the patient, and sustainable for the environment.
October Customer Appreciation Offer:
From October 22–31, purchase 1 DryShield Starter Kit and get 1 FREE.
If you’ve been considering making the switch, now’s the perfect time to bring smarter isolation to your practice.

3. Greener: Protect Waterways and Compliance with Solmetex
Environmental responsibility and regulatory compliance don’t have to be at odds. With Solmetex, they go hand-in-hand.
This year alone, you’ve:
- Kept over 5 tons of mercury waste out of public water systems.
- Removed 99.5% of mercury from water returning to the community with your NXT Hg5 Amalgam Separator.
- Saved 40% or more water by upgrading to the Solmetex NXT DryVac.
Those numbers represent real impact — cleaner water, safer communities, and peace of mind knowing your practice is meeting EPA requirements.
October Customer Appreciation Offer:
From October 22–31, you can:
- Upgrade your current system for the cost of a container.
- Purchase a new NXT Hg5 System and receive a free case of PowerScrub (valid through December 31st).
It’s a simple step that keeps your practice compliant, your systems running efficiently, and your environmental impact minimal.

- Safer for every patient who walks through your doors.
- Smarter for your team and workflow.
- Greener for the environment and your community.
And most importantly, you’re continuing the work you’ve already started: the work that has kept patients safe, conserved resources, and protected our planet.
