What Is Biological Dentistry

Dentistry That Works With Your Body, Not Against It

Biological dentistry takes a whole-body approach to your oral health. It recognizes that the materials we use, the treatments we choose, and the way we care for your teeth all have an impact far beyond your mouth.

At MyDentistForLife, Dr. Saba Rizvi uses only biocompatible, non-toxic materials and follows protocols designed to protect your immune system, your gut, and your overall wellbeing throughout every procedure.

  • No mercury, no BPA, no toxic metals in any treatment
  • Safe amalgam removal using the SMART protocol
  • Biocompatible composite and ceramic restorations
  • Minimally invasive techniques to preserve healthy tooth structure
  • Treatments that support your immune and systemic health
Our Principles

The Core Beliefs Behind Our Biological Approach

Everything we do at MyDentistForLife is guided by these foundational principles. They shape every material we choose, every technique we use, and every decision we make for your care.

Biocompatibility First

We only use materials that are proven safe and compatible with the human body. We never place anything in your mouth that could cause systemic inflammation or immune reactions.

Mercury-Free Practice

Our office has been completely mercury-free for years. We do not place amalgam fillings, and we safely remove existing mercury fillings using the SMART protocol.

Minimally Invasive Care

We preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible. Less drilling, fewer chemicals, and gentler techniques mean faster healing and better long-term outcomes.

Oral-Systemic Connection

We understand that your mouth is connected to your whole body. Gum disease, infected root canals, and toxic materials can all affect your heart, brain, and immune system.

Fluoride-Free Options

We respect your right to choose. Fluoride-free alternatives are available for all preventive treatments, without judgment. We discuss every option with you fully.

Informed Consent Always

You are always in control. We explain every material, every procedure, and every option before we begin. Your informed agreement comes first, every single time.

Biological Dental Services

What We Offer Under Our Biological Dentistry Approach

Every service at MyDentistForLife is delivered with your whole health in mind. From routine cleanings to complex restorations, we apply biological principles to every treatment.

Safe Amalgam Removal (SMART)

If you have old mercury amalgam fillings, we remove them safely using the SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) protocol to minimize your exposure during removal.

Composite and Ceramic Restorations

We replace damaged or decayed teeth using tooth-colored, metal-free composite resins and ceramic materials that are biocompatible and aesthetically natural.

Biocompatible Crowns and Bridges

Our crowns and bridges are made from zirconia and ceramic materials, free from metal alloys that can cause sensitivity, allergic reactions, or systemic concerns.

Ozone Therapy

Ozone is a powerful, natural antimicrobial agent. We use ozone therapy to treat decay, gum disease, and infections without the need for harsh chemicals or antibiotics.

Mercury-Free Preventive Care

All our preventive treatments including cleanings, sealants, and fluoride alternatives are delivered without the use of mercury-containing or chemically toxic products.

Oral-Systemic Health Evaluation

We screen for connections between your oral health and systemic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and hormonal imbalances, and work with your broader healthcare team when needed.

SMART Amalgam Removal

How We Safely Remove Mercury Fillings

Mercury amalgam removal is one of the most requested biological dentistry services we provide. The SMART protocol was developed by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) to minimize patient exposure to mercury vapor during removal.

1
Consultation and Assessment

We review your existing fillings, discuss your health history, and create a personalized removal plan that prioritizes your safety.

2
Protective Setup

You are fully covered with protective barriers, a rubber dam is placed, and a special high-volume evacuation system removes mercury vapors throughout the procedure.

3
Safe Removal in Chunks

We remove the amalgam in large pieces rather than grinding it down, dramatically reducing the amount of mercury vapor released.

4
Biocompatible Replacement

Once the mercury filling is removed, we replace it with a tooth-colored composite or ceramic restoration that is safe, durable, and completely metal-free.

Common Questions

Questions About Biological Dentistry? We Have Answers.

Biological dentistry is an approach to dental care that considers the impact of dental materials and treatments on your whole body. It prioritizes biocompatible, non-toxic materials, minimally invasive techniques, and an understanding of how oral health connects to systemic health. We avoid mercury, BPA, and other materials that may cause inflammation or immune responses.

Yes, when done properly using the SMART protocol. This technique minimizes the release of mercury vapor during removal through protective barriers, rubber dams, and high-volume evacuation. Dr. Rizvi is trained in this protocol and follows every step to keep you as safe as possible during the procedure.

We use tooth-colored composite resins and ceramic restorations that are free from mercury, BPA, and metal alloys. These materials are biocompatible, durable, and natural-looking. For crowns and bridges, we use zirconia and porcelain, which are the most biocompatible options available in modern dentistry.

Many biological dentistry treatments such as composite fillings, cleanings, exams, and crowns are covered by most major dental insurance plans including Aetna, Cigna, Guardian, Humana, MetLife, and more. Some specific treatments like ozone therapy may not be covered. Call us at (954) 637-7173 and our team will verify your benefits before your appointment at no charge.

Traditional dentistry focuses primarily on treating your teeth and gums. Biological dentistry takes a broader view. It considers how dental treatments and materials can affect your immune system, gut health, cardiovascular health, and overall wellbeing. It also emphasizes prevention, minimal intervention, and the use of only non-toxic, biocompatible materials throughout your care.
