Biologic Dentistry

Biologic Dentistry in Maine

We believe in practicing dentistry in a way that not only promotes healthy teeth and gums, but overall health. By using the appropriate materials and techniques, we assist patients in the care of their mouths so they are less likely to experience the negative effects of oral disease.

One of the major aspects of biologic dental care is the absence of amalgam in restorative care. While we prefer to help patients avoid problems such as cavities, we provide restorations that will last many years and will be kind to the body. Amalgam has existed for well over a century. This substance is of concern because it contains mercury, a natural element that has been identified for its toxic effects. We do not place amalgam fillings! In addition, our doctors strictly follow the protocol of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology when removing amalgam fillings.

For details on the removal process, click here or contact our office at (207) 474-9503.

Fluoride Free Dentistry

Fluoride is not something we recommend. Years ago, it was thought that this product could protect tooth enamel. Research suggests that this is not the case. Rather than rely on an antiquated treatment, we take a proactive approach to prevention. We have alternatives to the use of fluoride, such as xylitol, ozone, and nutrition counseling.

 

Routine Check-Ups

Regular dental visits help detect issues early, ensuring optimal oral health and preventing major problems.

Professional Cleanings

Our thorough cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Tooth Repairs

We use high-quality, tooth-colored fillings to restore damaged teeth and protect them from further decay.

Mercury Revisions

Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique helps reduce mercury exposure during the removal of amalgam (“silver”) fillings.

Nutritional Counseling

Nutritional counseling is a vital component to our biologic dentistry philosophy. Foods and beverages either promote oral and systemic health or they inhibit optimal wellness. Most people are aware of this, but they may not understand the complex issues related to diet. Our nutritionist works with patients to develop insights and goals to form a personalized program to help attain and maintain a healthy mouth. We are pleased to offer patients the nutritional support they need to maximize the benefits of biologic dental care in our Skowhegan office.

The care we offer you and your family is centered on health and wellness. To arrange an appointment with our experienced team, call (207) 474-9503.

This was the most pleasant dental visit I've had in my life. Tooth extraction, where the worst pain was one needle pinch.

I love the service I get whenever I have my appointments. Excellent people from the front desk, the hygienist, and the dentist. Really know how to treat their patients. If anyone is looking for a dentistry, I highly recommend the Maine Center for Dental Medicine.
