One of your greatest personal assets is your smile and along with a healthy mouth, they help you live longer. Strong, healthy teeth are an important factor to your health and quality of life. A phone survey of 1,000 adults found that 90% of the respondents believe an attractive smile is an asset to one's career and 58% said they were more likely to trust someone with an attractive smile.
Our practice is "amalgam free" or "mercury free" due to concerns about toxicity problems from mercury amalgam dental fillings. Mercury amalgam removal and replacement with natural-looking biocompatible materials (i.e. bonded porcelain) is a specialty of our practice.
Holistic dentistry is an approach to dental treatment which cares for patients' health and safety both from a conventional as well as an "alternative healthcare" point of view. In holistic dentistry, efforts are made to find biocompatible dental materials for patient treatments to reduce possible toxic overload and allergic reactions, especially for those who are sensitive to chemicals.
We provide our patients with exceptional cosmetic results along with our holistic approach to dentistry, which includes State-of-the-Art Dental technology.
Our practice is "mercury amalgam free" and we utilize State-of-the-Art technology and techniques in our dental restorations.
Composite resin dental fillings (aka white fillings) are an alternative to traditional mercury amalgam fillings, and can be colored to match the patient's tooth. All composite resins are chemically bonded into place, and can be used for cosmetic improvements of the smile by changing the color of the teeth or reshaping disfigured teeth.
It is interesting to note that, on average, less tooth removal is required for composite resin fillings as compared to traditional mercury amalgam fillings, and a bonded filling can actually strengthen the tooth.
Dental Implants are also used to replace one or more missing teeth, or to stabilize dentures. The implant acts like the root of a natural tooth, and bone actually forms around a special coating on the implant to hold the implant firmly in place. In cases where there are multiple missing teeth, or where the patient has previously had dentures, multiple implants are placed in the mouth to allow for implant-supported dental restorations.
