Frequently Asked Questions About Holistic Dentistry in lake Orion, MI
Question: What is holistic dentistry?
Answer: With this approach to dentistry, we believe in using biocompatible materials and conservative procedures to improve oral health. By doing so, your restorations look more natural and better blend with your smile. Patients no longer need to worry about metal allergies or fillings/crowns that contain trace amounts of lead.
Question: Can I receive crowns in one-visit?
Answer: Yes. With CEREC, we take digital impressions of your teeth, so no more mess. Using the images we gather, we design a restoration and upload the information to a CEREC milling machine. A crown is then crafted from a solid block of ceramic. The crown is then placed, all in one visit.
Question: How do metal-free fillings work?
Answer: With metal-free fillings we create your restoration using a composite resin instead o amalgam. The material can be shaded to blend with tooth structure, so no one but you and the dentist will know you have a filling.
Question: Can I have my metal restorations replaced?
Answer: Yes. Due to the fact that metal fillings and crowns can change size over time, damaging teeth or exposing inner structure to bacteria, many people are interested in replacing them. Using the highest safety protocols available, we can remove the metal restorations and dispose of them properly. Then, we can place metal-free alternatives.
