We take pride in sourcing and selecting materials that are as non-toxic and as minimally invasive as possible. This is to ensure that any dental treatment you have will exist in harmony with your body and protect the health of the body as well as the mouth.
Latex-Free
Instead of using latex gloves, we prefer the use of gloves made of alternative materials such as that made of nitrile, in order to enhance safety and comfort during all your visits with us.
Mercury-Free
When removing old dental amalgam fillings, we take multiple precautions to collect any mercury from the procedure to minimise exposure. This includes:
- Placement of a dam to isolate the tooth and protect the rest of your mouth from exposure
- Use of ultra high-speed suction to collect residual mercury vapour
- Skilful sectioning of the filling by the dentist
Phasing Out Non-Precious Metal Crowns and Onlays
We no longer use non-precious metal crowns and onlays in all of our clinics, as they are very harsh to your teeth and may trigger allergic or autoimmune responses in some. Instead, we selectively use ceramics or precious metals, which are biocompatible.
Avoid the Use of Certain Techniques
Holistic dentists try to avoid drilling practices. For instance, when a patient requires a filling, they ensure that much of the tooth is left intact before using non-toxic filling material. They avoid procedures like dental crowns that involve the removal of much of the tooth, and instead use inlays for cavities.
