Mercury Safe Dentistry
Testimonial from Dr. Tom McGuire
I know Dr. Vlad Shikhmanter and have worked closely with him to establish a Patient Education Program at his Mercury Safe dental office. I consider Dr. Shikhmanter to be a highly trained, dedicated, experienced and skilled Mercury Safe, Holistic dentist. He utilizes his knowledge and training in these areas when designing dental treatment plans for his patients. I am impressed with the depth of his dental knowledge and understanding about the critically important relationship of oral to overall health and his sincere effort to educate his patients. As such I acknowledge him as the “Education Dentist”.
His ongoing post-graduate training in holistic, cosmetic ,and traditional dentistry and his concern for the safe removal of amalgam fillings makes him ideally suited to remove and replace them. I highly recommend Dr. Shikhmanter to anyone seeking a caring, health focused, Occupationally Mercury Safe and Mercury Free (amalgam/silver filling free) dentist. He is a charter member of my International Association of Mercury Safe Dentists (IAMSD). Please say hi to Dr. Shikhmanter when you see him.

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.

If you live in the Manalapan area, call (732) 329-7695 to schedule your dental exam so that you can remain in good health or receive treatment for a current condition.
