Biocompatible Materials Used in Holistic Dentistry
Holistic dentists often use materials that are biocompatible and safe for the body. Here are some common alternatives:
Composite Resin:
These tooth-colored fillings are made from a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles. They blend well with natural teeth and are free from metals like mercury.
Ceramic:
Ceramic materials are often used for crowns and bridges. They are durable, aesthetically pleasing, and free of metal.
Zirconia:
Zirconia crowns are strong, metal-free, and have a natural appearance.
Ozone Therapy:
is a key tool in biological (holistic) dentistry because of its antimicrobial, healing, and oxygenating properties.
