Bio Compatible Material

Dr. Vafa uses Biocompatible materials in all his dental treatments. Such materials do not provoke an immune response or irritate existing tissues. As a matter of fact they coexist with the body’s natural systems and promote health and well-being. Our dental office uses bio compatible dental material whenever possible to ensure the safest, healthiest dental treatments.

In the past, dental amalgam and metals such as gold were popular to restore teeth. While these restorations were strong and durable, they were not without risk. Dental amalgam contains a high level of mercury while metal crowns tended to stain and discolor gums. Our dentist offers restorations using bio compatible dental material, which has a low risk of health complications and adverse events.

One of the most common materials we use is composite resin. Composite resin is a bio compatible dental material that Dr. Vafa  may use to restore minor damage on teeth. It blends beautifully with your own natural teeth so is often considered a more attractive restoration. Biologic Dentists use no mercury or other problematic materials to treat teeth. Dr. Vafa's Holistic approach to dentistry is not like the conventional dentists. For example he uses mercury free fillings in all his tooth fillings.

Is Porcelain Bio Compatible?

Porcelain is another bio compatible dental material that we use in our office. We can restore teeth using porcelain inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges or veneers. Each of these restorations changes, improves or strengthens teeth without interfering with your dental or physical health. For example. Dr. Vafa may uses porcelain veneers to fix crooked teeth or to transform your smile. Porcelain veneers are bio compatible and will not cause irritation, inflammation or an immune response.

Finally, we use titanium to restore lost teeth. Titanium dental implants are a popular holistic approach to replace the natural roots of a lost tooth. The titanium can fuses with the living bone tissue in the socket. It can creates a new support for the prosthetic tooth, which is generally made of porcelain.

Dr. Vafa only uses bio compatible materials,. Therefore, he can protect and preserve your dental health and give you a beautiful, strong smile. Call today to learn more or to schedule your appointment with the best holistic dentist in Beverly Hills.

Minimally Invasive Dentistry

Did you know with proper care your teeth could last a lifetime? However you should know your teeth are vulnerable to bacterial assaults and dental trauma. Tooth decay, cavities, gum disease and other common problems can occur as a result of inadequate preventative treatments. Dental diseases will progress when not diagnosed early. Dr. Vafa offers minimally invasive dentistry in Beverly Hills. He uses the most advanced procedures and techniques to preserve the health, function and aesthetics of your smile.

Minimally invasive dentistry is a type of dentistry that is concerned with preserving the maximum possible amount of healthy tissue. Due to the nature of tooth decay and some treatment options, healthy tooth structure was often removed along with damaged structure. This often led to the further weakening of the tooth and eventual tooth loss when insufficient structure remained to restore. Today, our Beverly Hills minimally invasive dentistry expert offers more conservative options that preserve the maximum amount of healthy tissue.

Minimally Invasive Dentistry Beverly Hills, Los Angeles

Dr. Vafa offers minimally invasive dentistry in Beverly Hills. He offers full range of preventative dental care. Such as, routine cleanings, dental sealant applications and fluoride treatments to reduce the risk of gum disease and tooth decay. Dr. Vafa offers composite resin fillings that chemically bond with teeth rather than amalgam fillings, which require retention grooves.

Bruce uses advanced diagnostics. They allow him to identify dental disease before it can reach a more advanced stage and cause more extensive damage. Identifying dental caries at the earliest stage allows him to treat them more conservatively. Therefore, this can reduce the need for more invasive or extensive treatments, including root canal therapy and dental crowns. Our Beverly Hills minimally invasive dentistry expert uses a focused approach and concentrates on your specific risk factors. We do not use a cookie cutter approach that may not be equally effective for all patients.

The goal of minimally invasive dentistry is to preserve your own natural teeth. Therefore Dr. Vafa may restore your teeth with the most conservative treatments possible. Minimally invasive dentistry can keep your smile healthy, whole and beautiful. Give us a call today to find out more or to schedule your appointment with our Beverly Hills dentist.

What Is the Focus of Holistic Dentistry?

Holistic dentistry focuses on dental techniques that advance patients' overall well-being. Therefore, a holistic dentist might give you lifestyle and dietary tips.

Biological dentistry places a premium on less toxic materials and less invasive procedures:

  • Your holistic dentistry practice would avoid fluoride, mercury amalgam fillings, and other heavy metals.
  • It would rely instead on composite materials and herbal remedies.
  • A holistic dentist would give you a root canal only as a last resort.
  • At Smile Angels of Beverly Hills, we use Digital X Ray which produce 80% less radiation than traditional X-Rays.

In addition, holistic dentistry specialists understand that misaligned bitescan cause a chain reaction of problems. They make swallowing harder, which can lead to digestive difficulties and other issues. Therefore, fixing bites and aligning teeth are top priorities.

Where to Go for Holistic Dentistry in Los Angeles

These days, more and more patients are learning about holistic dentistry, and more and more dentists are starting to offer it. It's still relatively difficult to find a holistic dentistry practice in Beverly Hills, however. Fortunately, Smile Angels of Beverly Hills is waiting for you.

Best of all, we take a holistic approach to all of our treatments.

Ozone Therapy

Ozone is an activated and extremely reactive form of oxygen. And ozone therapy is a technique whereby a dentist uses a tube to transport this gas into a patient's mouth.

Ozone therapy is noninvasive, and it provides plenty of benefits. To be specific, it can:

  • Kill harmful microbes.
  • Reverse the effects of tooth decay.
  • Strengthen enamel.
  • Make teeth less sensitive.
  • Stimulate the immune system to function at a higher level.
  • Reduce or eliminate cold sores and oral ulcers.

Safe Amalgam Removal

Dental amalgams are the materials used in many fillings. Generally speaking, they're half mercury. A blend of other metals such as silver, copper, and tin makes up the other half.

Medical studies have connected environmental mercury to a range of diseases and disorders, including kidney damage and Alzheimer's disease.

However, you shouldn't panic if you have amalgam fillings. Currently, there's no hard scientific evidence that links serious health problems to these fillings.

At the same time, many patients don't want to take any chances, or they're committed to an organic lifestyle. As such, they choose to have their amalgam fillings removed and replaced with materials that are less toxic.

Removal can be dangerous, though, because the heat that's involved in the process causes the mercury to vaporize. That vapor can be harmful when inhaled. For that reason, a removal procedure incorporates a number of safety procedures:

  • The patient receives clean oxygen through the nose.
  • Hair and skin are covered up.
  • Large amounts of cold water cool the fillings.
  • Laser and ozone treatments detoxify the gums.

If you are considering mercury removal from your teeth, contact Smile Angles of Beverly Hills and ask about our safe mercury removal.

Holistic Dentistry for Kids

Holistic dentistry is readily available to children. And it offers many benefits to young residents of Beverly Hills.

For starters, holistic dentistry minimizes the painful and invasive aspects of traditional dentistry — drilling, for instance. These dentists also take special care to be gentle, soothing, and nurturing to little ones. Moreover, holistic dentistry emphasizes straightening and developing the jaws. That way, children may not need as much orthodontic work later on.

Biological dentistry also helps your kids avoid exposure to toxic chemicals and materials. For example, these pediatric dentists prefer digital images to X-rays. And they stay away from sealants that contain the industrial chemical BPA. Thanks to holistic dentistry, your kids might not dread their dental appointments anymore. That's good news as a fear of dentists can last a lifetime.

How Much Does Holistic Dentistry Cost?

You might be wondering: Does holistic dentistry cost more than traditional dental work? Well, the answer depends on your oral health and the specific treatments that you get. And, of course, costs can vary from dentist to dentist. You can expect that your holistic dentist will charge about the same as a traditional dentist for any similar procedures. For example, a routine cleaning should cost about the same at either dentist's office.

What will cost extra is any special holistic treatment that you receive. For instance, a mercury amalgam filling that is replaced with a resin filling, may cost $100 to $500 depending on where you go.

Holistic materials can cost more as well. A composite resin filling, to take one example, might cost about three times as much as its mercury counterpart. It's hard to say how much dental ozone therapy will cost you. The price will largely depend on how extensive your ozone treatments are and how long the process takes.

No matter which kind of dentist you see, it's always helpful to go in for consultations and to seek quotes for specific procedures. Not to mention, it's a good idea to compare prices before you decide which office to visit.

Insurance and Financing

Many dental insurance plans will cover some or all of the costs associated with holistic dentistry. If you lack dental insurance, however, you could always take advantage of our financing plan. As many of our Beverly Hills patients already know, our monthly payments are low.

Once you start seeing a holistic dentistry specialist in Beverly Hills, you may be surprised at the ways in which the mouth is connected to every other system of the body.
