In holistic and natural dentistry, the materials used in your dental treatments matter just as much as the procedures themselves. At Natural and Cosmetic Dentistry in Clearwater, Florida, Dr. Beata A. Carlson and Associates are committed to using biocompatible dental materials that are not only safe and non-toxic but also support your overall health and well-being.
Many patients are unaware that traditional dental materials—such as mercury amalgam fillings or metal crowns—can introduce toxins or trigger reactions in the body. That’s why our holistic dental team prioritizes the use of biocompatible alternatives that work with your body, not against it.
What are biocompatible dental materials?
Biocompatible dental materials are materials that are compatible with the human body and do not cause adverse reactions when used in dental restorations or procedures. These materials are carefully selected to avoid toxins, allergens, and substances that may interfere with the immune system or create long-term health risks.
At our practice, some examples of biocompatible materials include:
- BPA-free composite resin for fillings and bonding
- Ceramic and porcelain crowns that are metal-free and aesthetic
- Zirconia dental implants as a metal-free alternative to titanium
- Non-toxic adhesives and cements that avoid endocrine-disrupting chemicals
- Ozone and natural disinfectants instead of harsh chemical sterilizers
These materials are chosen not only for their safety but also for their effectiveness, durability, and ability to restore the natural beauty of your smile.
Why does biocompatibility matter?
Every material placed in your mouth can potentially impact your body’s health—especially since dental restorations remain in place for years or even decades. Non-biocompatible materials can cause inflammation, allergic reactions, and systemic toxicity in sensitive individuals. Some may even release harmful substances, like mercury vapor or BPA.
Biocompatible materials reduce these risks, promoting a healthier environment in the mouth and supporting overall wellness. This is especially important for patients with chronic illness, autoimmune disorders, or chemical sensitivities.
How does Natural and Cosmetic Dentistry ensure material safety?
Dr. Beata Carlson and her team use a whole-body approach in every treatment plan. Before placing any material, we assess each patient’s sensitivities and overall health. In some cases, we may recommend biocompatibility testing, which can help determine if your body may react to a particular dental material. We also follow IAOMT guidelines and holistic protocols to ensure safe, non-toxic care throughout every step of your dental experience.
Optional biocompatibility testing (with BioComp link)
For patients who want added peace of mind, we can coordinate optional serum biocompatibility testing to identify dental materials that are the least reactive for your body. To learn more—or to view what the test report looks like—visit BioComp Laboratories here.
If you decide to complete testing, our team will review your results and use them to guide material selection for your personalized treatment plan.
