Biocompatible Materials
We Use Biocompatible Materials At Wattle Holistic Dentists.
At Wattle Holistic Dentists, we’re all about keeping your smile healthy and happy. When it comes to fillings, we have many options like composite resin, porcelain, other ceramics and gold, so you can choose what works best for you.
Many people love the natural look of composite fillings because they match your teeth and won’t break the bank. For larger fillings, you might want to check out ceramic or porcelain fillings – they cost a bit more upfront, but they last a lot longer and provide extra protection against breakage, especially in people who experience little extra of life’s stresses causing them to clench or grind.
We get that you might be worried about what goes into your fillings and your bodies. That’s why we use Admira Fusion, a ceramic based restorative material and contains no classic monomers (Bis-GMA [BPA], TEGDMA, UDMA). We want you to feel good about your dental choices.
If you’re really curious, you can even do a little research or take a dental compatibility test. Labs like Biocomp Laboratories and ELISA/ACT Biotechnologies can help you figure out which dental materials are safe for you.
And hey, safety is a big deal for us. Throughout dental school we are taught that the highest risk of dental mercury exposure is when you are removing an existing amalgam filling, and this is something we do almost every day as dentists, so when we take out those old silver fillings (amalgams), we follow the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) to make sure everything stays safe and sound for you and our team.
At Wattle Holistic Dentists, we are not just about fixing teeth, but making sure we are part of the solution to bettering your overall health.
