How biologic dentistry makes a real, positive difference in your smile and overall health
At Owens Dental Berthoud, our services and approaches are tailored to align with your oral health needs, preferences, and goals. In turn, we provide truly holistic care that accounts for the whole person, not just the teeth and gums. Our team in Berthoud, Colorado, offers holistic or biologic dentistry in addition to more “conventional” options. We empower you with credible information about improving your smile and health. So you can make the most well-informed decisions about your treatment or next steps. No judgment. Just genuine support as we partner with you on this journey.
How is your approach different from that of other dental offices?
Our focus is on your overall well-being. The materials, products, and technologies used in dentistry can either enhance or damage your overall health and wellness. We have carefully selected all products for their safety, biocompatibility, effectiveness, and durability. Everything we offer is designed to be compatible or “cooperate” seamlessly with natural tissues, organs, and systems.
What materials do you use?
Options include the use of biocompatible materials like porcelain and specialty composite. By using these materials, we avoid the health threats inherent to certain products used in traditional dental circles. We also support the most gentle and precise placement of everything from tooth-colored fillings and crowns to bridges, dentures, and implants. These biocompatible materials are largely more conservative. They require less removal of otherwise healthy structures to repair damage and preserve the tooth.
Do you use silver-colored fillings?
While traditional metal fillings are silver in color, they contain very little actual silver—about 50% of each filling is mercury by weight. At our practice, we believe that toxins like mercury have no place in dental care. That’s why we exclusively use non-toxic, BPA-free materials like composite resin. Not only is this a safe and healthy choice, but it also offers a cosmetic advantage. Composite resin can be perfectly matched to the shade of your natural teeth, ensuring that your filling blends seamlessly and looks completely natural.
What if I’m unsure about how my body might react to a product?
If you have concerns about how your body might react to a product, we’ve got you covered! We offer biocompatibility testing through an independent lab, allowing you to explore any sensitivities or risks you may have. This testing helps us identify the safest and most suitable materials for your unique needs. It’s all about providing you with personalized care and peace of mind, ensuring that your treatment is as safe and effective as possible.
