Safe Disposal of Mercury

As you know, I’m on a mission to remove Mercury from your mouth, and from dentistry as a whole. But where does that toxic mercury go? Fear not, when I remove the silver amalgam mercury fillings from your mouth, I dispose of them in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. The water and Mercury particles accumulated through the removal process are processed through a mercury amalgam separator that catches the particles and mercury so it can be disposed of as biohazard waste. Someday there will be no mercury in dentistry and our mouths and the environment will be a much happier place!

Each ton (2000 pounds) of recycled paper can save 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, three cubic yards of landfill space, 4000 kilowatts of energy, and 7000 gallons of water. This represents a 64% energy savings, a 58% water savings, and 60 pounds less of air pollution!

Mercury Removal

Mercury removed in the safest way for the patient, dental team and the environment. Performed to the strictest standards established by the International Academy of Internal Oral Medicine and Toxicity (IAOMT).

Cerec CAD CAM Technology

State-of-the-art dental technology allows for same day crowns and porcelain restorations.

Oral Cancer Screening Test

A simple test used to detect oral cancer at its early stages when it is most treatable. Being the 6th leading cause of cancer deaths in the USA, it is highly recommended that everyone is tested at least once a year. This test does not prevent Oral Cancer, however, Oral Cancer is most treatable with an early detection.

Crown/Partial Crown

A crown/partial crown is a dental restoration used to encircle part of the tooth structure that is weakened, fractured or damaged and leaving your healthy tooth structure behind. We offer same day crown delivery in most cases and no hassles of temporaries. We use a same day delivery technique called Cerec which is a CAD/CAM system.

Porcelain Onlay

Similar to a crown. It is designed to restore a tooth that is broken down or damaged so much that a filling is not able to restore it. A porcelain onlay covers most or all of the chewing surfaces of the tooth and strengthens it so it won’t fracture. A more conservative treatment that helps prevent root canals and crowns.

Porcelain Inlay

Porcelain filling which is used instead of a resin (plastic) filling material. Inlays will prevent continual replacement of the fillings and further breaking down of the teeth.

Laser Gum Treatment

A non-invasive surgical treatment for gingivitis and periodontal disease. We use a laser to kill the bacteria and promote quicker and healthier healing of the gum disease.

Laser Cold Sore Treatment

Laser treatment used instead of medicines and messy ointments. The laser is used in a series of step by step applications of low wavelengths. If treated early enough, it will get rid of the embarrassing and annoying cold sore/sores once and for all. In most cases requires only on visit. Larger lesions may require multiple visits.

Dental Implants

Implants replace a missing or multiple missing teeth. An artificial root replacing a missing or multiple missing tooth. It can give you a longer and healthier tooth than mother-nature was able to do. It will never develop decay and will look like mother- nature put it there.

Implant Crown

A crown that is placed on top of a dental implant (artificial root).

Resin Filling

A tooth colored filling material used to restore a tooth with a small amount of decay or damage. It is otherwise known as the plastic filling. Not used for a large amount of tooth replacement as it can cause damage by weakening the tooth.

Invisalign

An adult way to straighten a poor bite or “crooked” and crowded teeth. It is otherwise known as the “clear” braces. The tooth movement is achieved through a series of clear aligners that are changed out every 2 to 3 weeks. It straightens the teeth in a step by step method. The most cosmetic of orthodontics.

Oral cancer will cause 8,000 deaths a year? That’s 1 person every hour. Scary. Get screened!

I design this detox program for each patient’s individual needs. I work with you to design a program that will rid your mouth of the toxic and damaging mercury fillings and help you to reach your overall goals of optimum health and aesthetics.

It makes no sense, we all know Mercury is one of the most toxic materials known to man, so why do dentistry luddites continue to use it, “claim” it’s safe? Common sense (and scientific research) tells us, it can’t be good for us. It is why I campaign to get it removed from your mouth and the dental industry as a whole.

Think about it, every bite creates toxic off-gassing allowing the mercury to slowly enter your system (one of the early symptoms is chronic fatigue). Apart from the obvious health hazards, it is not a good dental material because it expands and contracts with temperature changes, which causes cracking of the teeth creating a condition for damage and disease. The modern materials I use are better for you, and your dental health. Let’s ban this toxic material once and for all.

Whole Health Requires
a Whole Network

You can tell a lot about the overall wellness of a person by examining their mouth, which is why I have built up close relationships with all kinds of Bay Area health experts, from nutritionists to oral cancer specialists. If I see any signs where you may be able to improve your overall wellness, I will work with you to decide on the appropriate course of action. If that means working with your existing healthcare team–or someone from my network–it doesn’t matter to me, the main thing is you do something about it. Your health is my primary goal. Always.

Did you know?

Over 75% of Americans have some form of gum disease? Bleeding gums when flossing is the first sign of gingivitis, and gingivitis is gum disease!

Recent studies suggest gum disease may contribute to or be warning signs of potentially life threatening conditions such as heart attacks, strokes and diabetes.
