About Natural & Cosmetic Dentistry

Natural & Cosmetic Dentistry operates at 1825 Sunset Point Road in Clearwater, serving patients across Pinellas and Hillsborough County. The practice describes its philosophy as conservative and minimally invasive, treating the oral cavity as continuous with systemic health: the materials placed in a mouth, and the infections left in it, are treated as factors in whole-body well-being rather than isolated dental problems. Restorative work is carried out with biocompatible materials, including BPA-free and mercury-free restorations and metal-free options where the case allows, and compatibility testing is available for patients who report sensitivities. Amalgam removal follows the SMART protocol, with tooth isolation, high-volume suction and charcoal used to limit exposure during the procedure. The clinical range extends from biomimetic restorations and zirconia implants to ozone therapy, platelet-rich fibrin for extraction sites, laser-assisted periodontal treatment, and airway and bite evaluation for patients reporting snoring or jaw tension.

Common Questions

What does this practice mean by holistic dentistry?

The practice defines it as looking beyond isolated symptoms to how oral health connects to whole-body wellness, including inflammation, airway and breathing factors, bite balance, and the materials placed in the mouth. It states that the bacteria, infections and restorative materials present in the oral cavity can have systemic effects, and that treatment plans are personalised and explained so a patient can choose what fits their goals.

How is amalgam removal handled here?

The practice follows the SMART protocol for removing silver mercury amalgam fillings. Stated protective measures include isolating the tooth with a rubber dam or Klean-Up barrier, high-powered dry suction to evacuate vapours and particles from the operatory, continuous water cooling, sectioning the filling into larger pieces rather than grinding it, and charcoal to bind debris. Patients may also breathe oxygen through a nasal cannula during removal.

What materials does the practice use for restorations?

The office states it is mercury-free and places only tooth-coloured restorations, selecting non-toxic, biocompatible materials for every restoration. This includes BPA-free fillings, mercury-free restorations, and metal-free options wherever possible, with zirconia offered alongside titanium for implant cases. Replacement material after amalgam removal is chosen for strength, appearance and compatibility with reference to the tooth, the bite and the patient's stated goals.

Can materials be tested before treatment?

Yes. The practice offers biocompatibility testing for patients who report allergies or sensitivities to dental materials, describing it as a way to check compatibility before committing to a restorative material. It also provides fluoride-free alternatives for patients who prefer to avoid fluoride in preventive care.

Does the practice address TMJ, clenching or airway concerns?

The practice states that it evaluates bite and jaw function and may recommend supportive therapies, appliances and whole-body considerations relevant to TMJ symptoms. Where breathing, sleep quality or snoring is raised, it assesses airway-related factors and discusses appropriate next steps or referrals. Listed approaches include NightLase, Fotona laser treatment, Vivos appliances and custom splints.

What should a patient expect before an amalgam removal appointment?

The practice advises planning for an extended visit, up to four hours depending on how many fillings are being replaced, and eating a full meal beforehand while continuing regularly scheduled medications as directed by a physician. It publishes supplement and sulphur-rich food suggestions around the appointment and directs patients back to their own physician for any detoxification support afterwards.
