Mercury Safe - Holistic Dentistry

Mercury-safe dentistry delivers safety to patients and the environment in Sebastopol dental practice

At Whole Health Dentistry, mercury-safe dentistry is synonymous with mercury-free dentistry. In choosing to deliver the safest experience for our patients, we use only mercury-free products and we have protocol in place to remove and dispose of mercury-laden amalgam safely. Dr. Silvano Senn and his staff are concerned with the overall effects of treatments on the health of their patients and believe in protecting our environment from harmful impacts.

While some dental providers still choose to use amalgam fillings, and they are deemed safe by the ADA and some other associations at this time, we choose to avoid the substance entirely. We are aware of video research that shows mercury vapors being released from these type of fillings, which allows absorption into the patient’s bloodstream. This has the potential for many harmful effects on patient health – a risk that we are not willing to take. As mercury exposure is known to be harmful and there are limits placed on its levels in seafood and on releasing into the environment, we see no need for use of these materials. Besides these health concerns, we have found composite fillings are more aesthetically pleasing, as well as performing closely to the makeup of a natural tooth in dental applications.

Residents in and around Sebastopol, CA, are encouraged to choose a dental provider committed to elevated standards in their practice. Dr. Senn and the qualified staff at Whole Health Dentistry understand and care for each patient as a unique individual. Patients can be sure that our staff members are constantly expanding their education to offer the latest technologies and innovations in the field of dentistry. We believe in educating patients on our carefully chosen methods, and encourage any questions regarding treatments that are provided in our office.
