Irvine, CA. Dr. Son offers top quality
bio-compatible dental materials. His quest to promote overall patient health has lead to approaching dentistry with a concern for the whole body rather than just the oral cavity. This includes utilizing materials and procedures that account for their impact on general patient health and wellness.
What is bio-compatible dentistry?
Also known as holistic or biological dentistry,
bio-compatible dentistry is considered an alternative to traditional dentistry. Materials, techniques, and procedures are carefully considered with the understanding that toxins and infectious materials negatively affect an individual's health. Dentists who fall into this category of practice focus on treating the patient as a whole rather than simply the teeth, gums, and mouth.
Key points for bio-compatible dentistry
In selecting bio-compatible materials, Dr. Son is protecting patient health and safety. Key points in his practices include:
- Composite tooth filling material is used as safe alternative to amalgam fillings. Aesthetically, tooth-colored fillings blend in with the natural tooth for a beautifully restored tooth. Using this safe, durable dental filling material allows the dental staff and patient to avoid the risk of mercury exposure.
- When patients request or need their amalgam fillings to be removed, the strict protocol laid out by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) are followed to ensure safe mercury removal. This promotes the health and safety of the patient and dental staff.
- Dr. Son stands out in biocompatibility testing for dental materials. Procedures and materials are selected on an individual basis for each patient. Materials are tested to ensure they are suitable and are the best choice for that particular patient. Finding compatible materials is crucial as the wrong choice can cause health problems.
- Each patient is treated as a unique. Treatment plans are customized based on a patient's needs.
Dr. Son is a member of the IAOMT and is dedicated to patient-centered care. His use of bio-compatible dental materials shows his focus on treating the individual patient. Contact David Son DDS for an appointment today. (949) 565-4929
