Holistic Dentistry considers not only the health of your teeth and gums but also the impact of dental procedures on your entire body. We believe in using biocompatible materials and techniques that promote your overall health while addressing specific dental needs.
Concerns About Dental Materials:
We acknowledge the concerns surrounding dental materials, especially regarding substances like Bis-Phenol A (BPA). While some composite resins may contain BPA, we are committed to using materials that prioritize your safety and well-being.
Materials expert and biocompatibility specialist Jess Clifford has identified several products that are free of BPA and other potentially harmful compounds. In our Holistic Dentistry practice, we exclusively use BPA- and fluoride-free filling materials. Some of the products we utilize include:
- Diamond Crown
- Diamond Flo
- Diamond Link
- Venus Diamond
- Venus Diamond Flo
- Venus Pearl
- Visalys Temp
- Admira
- Clearfil
- Concise
- Esthet-X-HD
- Filtek Supreme
- Filtek Supreme XT
- Filtek Z-250
- Grandio SO
- Herculite XR
- Kalore
- Point 4
- Premise Indirect
- Vertise Flow
- Z-100
These materials are chosen for their biocompatibility and minimal impact on your overall health.
For those seeking alternatives, ceramic materials are broadly biocompatible, BPA-free, and can be used for various dental restorations, including inlays, onlays, and crowns.
Moving Forward:
If you’ve had previous dental work that may not be BPA-free, there’s generally little benefit in removing them. Most exposure occurs during the placement of fillings or sealants, and research indicates that levels quickly decrease afterward.
