We understand the importance of materials that are not only effective but also safe and biocompatible. Dr. Rachel Brown-McDonald takes a biological approach to dentistry, which is reflected in her choice of materials for fillings and crowns.
Mercury-Free Fillings
Dr. Brown uses mercury-free filling material carefully selected to be compatible with your body to reduce the risk of allergic reactions and toxicity. We choose fillings made from composite resins or porcelain because they are a more biocompatible option, and we can color-match them to surrounding teeth for a seamless appearance.
High-Quality Porcelain Crowns
For crowns, Dr. Brown prefers materials like porcelain or ceramic zirconia, known for their durability and natural appearance. These materials blend seamlessly with your smile, providing a solution that restores function and is aesthetically pleasing.
Using biocompatible materials aligns with Dr. Brown’s holistic approach to dental care by considering the health of your teeth and how materials interact with your overall health.
Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal
If you have existing mercury fillings, Dr. Brown is trained in the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART). This technique ensures the safe removal of mercury fillings and protects you and our staff from harmful mercury vapors and particles.
