Mercury Safe Dentistry - Santa Clarita, CA

Holistic dentistry analyzes the health of your body as a whole and not just piece by piece. It is a more natural, healthier approach to giving you the smile of your dreams. When you treat the body as a whole, you must understand that everything you put in your mouth can affect everything else. Dental amalgam fillings or silver fillings are about 50% elemental mercury. Mercury is a poison and it is toxic, even in small doses. It is the same type of mercury used in certain types of banned thermometers. Mercury is a major concern because it poses a dangerous threat to public health because it accumulates in the body and this buildup is incredibly hazardous to your health. In addition to the hazard to your health, mercury released into the environment also causes harm to wildlife. The first way to eliminate this danger to your health is by removal of silver amalgam dental fillings. After the amalgam is removed, we use biocompatible materials to replace the filling. Bio-friendly, amalgam alternatives include composite resin, glass ionomer, porcelain, and gold, to name a few. These materials have no known toxins or side-effects and are white composite materials for a better, more natural overall aesthetic. In addition, we use ceramic implants instead of titanium, and CEREC dental appliances are fully ceramic and aren’t mixed with metal. Promenade Dentistry is passionate about restoring your beautiful smile in the most healthy and effective way.
