Returning the Elegance of Nature's Design to the Mouth
A new era in dentistry
is rapidly emerging. The transition between the purely mechanical
(drill and fill) to biologic dentistry has occurred slowly but is
increasing as people are becoming more aware of their health and
treatment options. As dentistry moves into the 21st century, providing
us with high tech materials, techniques, and diagnostics, it allows us to better assist those who have concerns about these issues.
Biologic
dentists are focusing on biocompatible materials and their influence on
the immune system. Through new testing available we can find out what
materials your body accepts or rejects. We can also check for
sub-clinical infections caused by root canals and bone sites from
previously extracted teeth. We also examine the way the teeth mesh
together to discover the direct influence it has on bone levels, gum
health, and TMJ issues.
