Tooth-Coloured Fillings / Amalgam-free dentistry / Holistic dentistry
Holistic dentistry is a new philosophy that considers the health of all of your body when planning the treatment of your mouth, gums and teeth. We focus on you as a person, not only on your teeth and gums, treating any oral health concerns in alignment with your overall physical health. We believe that nothing in the body works in isolation, and that a healthy mouth is essential for general wellbeing. We carefully assess whether your gums, teeth and jawbone are all working together in a healthy unison.
Holistic dentistry focuses on how the health of your mouth can significantly impact the rest of your body. We are able to achieve effective and long-lasting results using natural treatments.
- Mercury-free fillings
- Prevent and treat degenerative oral diseases
- Prevent and treat dental malocclusions to rectify body balance
- Prevent and treat gum disease by targeting its organic cause
Dentistry has come a long way. You clearly can see the difference from one generation to the next. We’ve all seen metal fillings and gold crowns in people’s mouths that look antiquated.
We realise that most people are self-conscious about their teeth, so they want their fillings to go unnoticed.
That’s why Coorparoo Dentist provides tooth coloured fillings that blend in with the rest of your teeth. We’re an experienced dental team that offers expert tooth filling services to Coorparoo and the entire Brisbane community. We’ll fix your cavities in the most aesthetically and holistic way.Our holistic dentist does not use amalgam fillings that contain mercury and other potentially harmful materials. Instead, we use non-toxic, biocompatible materials for fillings that do not interfere with any of the body’s functions. We also use non-surgical methods to prevent and treat gum disease, and we treat root canals with non-invasive treatments.
Safely remove old amalgam fillings
Here at Dentists @ Coorparoo,our holistic dentist can safely and effectively remove any existing amalgam fillings that contain toxic mercury. Older amalgam fillings are not biologically friendly and they expand and contract with different food temperatures and this can sometimes crack the teeth they are meant to repair. We can then replace with the latest high-quality compounds available that closely match your tooth colour. This is a less invasive process that achieves superior bonding to the natural tooth.
The Benefits of Fillings
Tooth fillings patch up cavities and can repair a chipped tooth. Fillings are essential because they prevent several debilitating dental conditions such as tooth decay and root canals. Unattended cavities speed up the decay process and attract unwanted bacteria to your mouth. That’s why it’s vital to regularly visit your dentist to stay on top of your dental health.
The benefit of getting a filling made from tooth-coloured material is it fixes your dental problem in the most picturesque way possible. It takes away any insecurities you may have about your post-cavity smile.
Additionally, composite resin dental fillings are more durable than any other filling type. They bond seamlessly to neighbouring teeth, giving your teeth a more natural look. The filling material is safer than traditional mercury fillings, having little to no effect on your tooth structure.
Kids today have the benefit of not having to grow up with distracting mercury fillings. Having the option of getting a white filling removes the stigma that your child may have about going to the dentist.
Our Process
Our team has decades of experience performing tooth fillings. The process we utilise is harmless and pain-free. In fact, we can do multiple fillings in one session.
We understand the emotions people experience before going to a dentist. That’s why we emphasise a very friendly approach with all our patients and follow their pace while doing the treatment. Our filling process is smooth and efficient. You’ll leave our office realising that you were worried about nothing.
The first step of our dental treatment is to remove decay from the affected part of the tooth. This removal ensures that the tooth is free of decay. We’ll then place a filling material which seals the exposed portion of your tooth. The filling material hardens quickly with exposure to special blue lights. Then we check the bite and polish the filling to make it comfortable for you.
We want you to be able to reap the benefits of your healthy tooth right away. That’s why the material we use is durable, so you can resume biting and chewing relatively soon after your visit.
And that’s all there is to it!
Note that we also can replace your current mercury or amalgam fillings with composite resin ones. Plus, we take care of the disposal of old fillings for you.
