Metal Free Dentistry

​

Biocompatible, Ceramic Restorations for Whole-Body Health

At Phoenix Biological Dentistry, we offer metal-free dentistry for patients seeking a more biocompatible and holistic approach to dental care.

​

While traditional dentistry often uses metal-based materials, many patients today prefer alternatives that align with their health goals, sensitivities, and long-term wellness.

Why Choose Metal-Free Dentistry?

Metal restorations—such as crowns, fillings, and implants—have been widely used for decades. However, some patients choose to avoid metals due to:

• Concerns about metal sensitivity or allergies (nickel, titanium)

• Potential for galvanic currents in the mouth

• Preference for more biocompatible materials

• Desire for improved aesthetics

​

Metal-free dentistry offers a modern alternative that supports both oral health and overall wellness.

All-Ceramic Crowns & Restorations

We provide all-ceramic crowns and restorations that are durable, эстетically natural, and free from metal components.

​

Benefits include:

• Natural tooth appearance

• Biocompatibility with surrounding tissue

• No risk of metal corrosion or interaction

• Strong, long-lasting performance

​

These restorations are ideal for patients replacing older metal crowns or upgrading their dental work.

Replacing Old Metal Crowns & Fillings

If you have older dental work—especially restorations placed 10+ years ago—there is a possibility that metal or amalgam may be present underneath.

​

We safely replace:

• Metal crowns

• Amalgam (silver) fillings

• Other outdated materials

​

Using the SMART protocol, we follow strict safety measures to minimize exposure during amalgam removal.

​

These implants:

• Are 100% metal-free

• Integrate well with bone and tissue

• Offer excellent aesthetics

• Are preferred by patients with metal sensitivities
