Biocompatible dentistry aims to prioritise toxic-free materials. Because biological or holistic dentistry considers the whole patient, we are vigilant about the materials we use inside your mouth.
While studies find mercury or amalgam fillings safe, we understand that mercury can emit harmful vapours, or some patients may be allergic.
We pride ourselves on materials, techniques and technologies that promote healing, and concentrate on more natural or biocompatible materials, such as:
- Composite Resins
- Ceramics
We believe that a natural approach to dental care may promote whole-body benefits.
Mercury-Free Dentistry in Prahran
Our tooth-coloured fillings are made of biologically compatible resin, complementing our natural approach to dental care. Older silver fillings contain mercury, which many patients prefer not to have in their mouths or bodies.
We agree!
Embracing Biocompatible Alternatives: What Amalgam-Free Dentistry Offers
Tooth-coloured fillings made of composite resin offer the following benefits:
- Mercury-free restoration material
- A filling that does not expand or contract
- Typically, less tooth cutting
- A discreet restoration
If you have silver fillings detracting from your smile, talk to your biological dentist in Prahran about safe removal and white filling replacements.
We can also repurpose our composite material to bond your teeth, concealing chips, cracks and similar cosmetic flaws, safely and quickly.
