About BioDent

BioDent practices biological dentistry in San Juan Capistrano, working from the premise that oral conditions and dental materials act on the whole body — and that the whole body is reflected in the mouth. The practice has operated on this model since 2010 and describes its work as minimally invasive dentistry organised around that oral-systemic view. No fluoride, metal, or mercury is used in its procedures; restorations are built instead from BPA- and fluoride-free filling material, zirconia, and EMAX or zirconia porcelain crowns, with CEREC used to mill crowns and onlays in a single visit. Dental material biocompatibility testing by Clifford Test and salivary diagnostics inform which materials a given patient receives. Imaging uses the lowest X-ray settings that still yield usable results, with CBCT cone-beam scans where two-dimensional radiographs cannot resolve the anatomy.

Common Questions

How does this practice decide which dental materials are appropriate for an individual patient?

The practice provides Clifford material testing and salivary diagnostics so that treatment can be tailored to the individual rather than standardised. It states that the dental materials used can affect the entire body, and works only with what it describes as the healthiest, highest-quality materials available — BPA- and fluoride-free filling material, zirconia, and EMAX or zirconia porcelain for crowns.

What does this practice do differently when removing mercury amalgam fillings?

The practice offers safe mercury amalgam removal and states it can remove silver amalgam fillings in a way that minimises the patient's mercury exposure. Removed restorations are replaced with biocompatible materials: BPA- and fluoride-free filling material, or zirconia for crowns and implants. No fluoride, metal, or mercury is used in any of its procedures.

What imaging is used, and how is radiation exposure handled?

X-rays are taken at the lowest settings that still produce high-quality results, and CBCT cone-beam scans are used to resolve anatomy that two-dimensional radiographs cannot show. During all X-rays the practice offers patients Nascent Iodine, on the stated rationale of saturating cells with healthy iodine so they take up less of the radioactive iodine the X-ray unit produces.

Does the practice place metal-free implants, and what systems does it use?

Yes. The practice places ceramic and zirconia non-metal implants, specifically naming the ZERAMEX and SDS ceramic implant systems. It describes these as biocompatible implants intended to serve both health and aesthetics without metal, and zirconia is used across its restorative work, from crowns through to implants.

What adjunct biological treatments does the practice use alongside restorative work?

Dental ozone is used, described by the practice as a treatment for a variety of issues and as a natural antibiotic. Platelet Rich Fibrinogen draws on the healing properties of the patient's own body. Intraoral cameras and oral cancer screening are part of the examination protocol, alongside cone-beam imaging.
