01 Sep Improving Smiles With Holistic Dentistry
Our team wants to offer dental care that is safe and gentle for all ages, from kids to adults. Which means when possible, we use alternatives to traditional treatments, and materials that are metal-free and biocompatible. Our Dallas, TX holistic dental office is ready to offer stronger and brighter smiles, sometimes in as little as one visit!
An Alternative to Metal Fillings
Amalgam, or the metal mixture often used for dental fillings, often contain small amounts of mercury that make them inappropriate for young children, pregnant women, and the elderly, or for those with metal allergies. Our team proudly offers an alternative, one made from composite resin. This unique blend of acrylic-like and glass-like particles is completely metal free and safe for all ages. The material is biocompatible and bonds with your tooth, providing years of quality treatment should you need a filling for a cavity or a bonding procedure to address damaged teeth. The material can also be shaded to blend with your smile and offer a lifelike appearance.
Ozone Therapy for Inflammation
When a tooth is infected, this could traditionally require a root canal to treat and prevent the loss of the tooth or the spread of infection. Likewise, periodontal disease may need invasive treatments to remove diseased tissues. But with Ozone Therapy, our team can provide a holistic alternative to these treatments. We provide ozone directly to your smile to destroy harmful bacteria, neutralizing them to avoid worsening inflammation or the spread of infection. If a tooth is severely infected or loosened due to gum disease, we could also discuss extracting the tooth and replacing it with a durable and natural looking dental implant.
Removing Older Restorations
If you have fillings or crowns made from amalgam and would like to see them removed and replaced with a more lifelike alternative, we can help! Our team can gently and carefully remove these older restorations and then dispose of them safely. We then place a biocompatible composite resin filling, or a crown made from materials like ceramic, which is also metal-free and lifelike. Our holistic approach focuses on providing results that look natural and safeguard your overall oral health. If you have any questions about how we treat tooth decay or dental damage with durable and biocompatible restoration, then contact our team today to schedule your next checkup and cleaning visit.
