Holistic Dental Care at Dentistry on Merivale
At Dentistry on Merivale, holistic dentistry isn’t just a label — it’s the foundation of everything we do. We recognize that your oral health is intimately connected to your overall wellbeing, and we make treatment decisions accordingly.
What Is Holistic Dentistry?
Holistic dentistry considers the impact of dental treatments on your entire body, not just your teeth. It means carefully choosing materials that are biocompatible, avoiding potentially harmful substances, and understanding the connections between oral health and systemic conditions.
Our Metal-Free Commitment
We are a proudly metal-free and amalgam-free dental practice. Our policy is simple:
We research and select only the holistically safest restorative materials to protect your overall bodily health.
This means:
- No amalgam fillings — We use tooth-colored composite materials instead
- No metal crowns or bridges — We use premium ceramic and zirconia options
- Biocompatible materials only — Every material is chosen for safety and durability
- Mercury-free practice — We never place mercury-containing fillings
Why Choose Metal-Free Dentistry?
Many patients are becoming aware of the potential concerns around metal dental work, particularly amalgam fillings which contain mercury. Our holistic approach offers:
- Peace of mind — Know that your dental work is safe for your whole body
- Natural aesthetics — Tooth-colored materials blend seamlessly with your smile
- Biocompatibility — Materials chosen to work harmoniously with your body
- Modern materials — Today’s composites and ceramics are incredibly durable
