Comprehensive Biological &
Holistic Dental Care
Every service at Dr. Mehta's clinic is anchored in the principle that what goes in your mouth affects your whole body. Safe, biocompatible, and scientifically grounded.
Safe Amalgam (Mercury) Removal
SMART Protocol – International Standard of Care
Dr. Mehta recommends patients discuss mercury detox with a functional medicine or naturopathic practitioner before and after treatment.
Amalgam fillings contain approximately 50% mercury by weight. While controversy exists regarding the degree of harm, numerous studies document mercury vapour release from amalgam, particularly during chewing, grinding, and temperature changes. Dr. Mehta follows the internationally recognised SMART protocol to minimise exposure during removal.
What this treatment includes:
- Sectional removal – fillings removed in large chunks to minimise vapour
- High-volume evacuation throughout the procedure
- Rubber dam isolation to prevent ingestion
- Nasal oxygen or air supply for patient
- Full protective cover for patient and clinical team
- Activated charcoal and chlorella supplementation guidance
- Post-removal detox support protocol recommendations
Biological Fillings
No Mercury. No BPA. No Compromise.
All materials used are sourced from manufacturers that provide full biocompatibility documentation.
Once amalgam is safely removed, it must be replaced with materials that are truly biocompatible. Dr. Mehta uses advanced composite resins, ceramic inlays, and onlays that are free from heavy metals, BPA, and known allergens — and matched precisely to your natural tooth colour.
What this treatment includes:
- BPA-free, metal-free composite resins
- Ceramic and porcelain inlays/onlays for large cavities
- Shade-matched to surrounding natural teeth
- Minimally invasive preparation — preserving maximum tooth structure
- Strong, durable, aesthetically excellent results
- Biocompatibility testing available on request
Zirconia Crowns
Premium Metal-Free Restoration with Natural Aesthetics
Zirconia crowns are the preferred choice for patients transitioning to a fully metal-free mouth.
Zirconia (zirconium dioxide) crowns represent the gold standard in metal-free dental restorations. Stronger than porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns, they eliminate the risk of metal ion leaching, galvanic interference, and dark gum lines — while achieving exceptional natural aesthetics.
What this treatment includes:
- 100% metal-free — no base metal alloys, no nickel, no chromium
- Strength exceeds traditional PFM crowns
- No grey gum line over time
- Ideal for patients with metal sensitivities or EHS (Electro-Hypersensitivity)
- Highly biocompatible — excellent gum tissue response
- Outstanding aesthetics for front and back teeth
- Long-lasting — often 15–20+ years with proper care
Cerec Crowns
CAD/CAM Technology – Your Crown in One Visit
Dr. Mehta uses CEREC for single crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers. Complex cases may still require lab fabrication.
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a revolutionary CAD/CAM technology that allows Dr. Mehta to design, mill, and fit a ceramic crown in a single appointment. No impressions, no temporaries, no second visit.
What this treatment includes:
- Digital scanning — no messy impression material
- Computer-aided design (CAD) on-screen before milling
- In-clinic milling of a solid ceramic crown in ~15 minutes
- Cemented and polished — same day
- Precise fit using 3D scanning technology
- 100% ceramic — metal-free by design
- Ideal for patients who cannot attend multiple appointments
Biological Dental Implants
Zirconia & Ceramic Implants — No Titanium, No Metal
Zirconia implants are suitable for most patients. Pre-implant evaluation and bone density assessment are always performed.
Conventional titanium implants, while effective, introduce metal into the body permanently. For patients who are sensitive to metals, concerned about galvanic currents, or simply prefer a completely biological approach, Dr. Mehta offers zirconia (ceramic) implants — a metal-free alternative with excellent clinical outcomes.
What this treatment includes:
- 100% metal-free — zirconia ceramic material
- Excellent osseointegration (bone bonding) rates
- No galvanic interference with other dental restorations
- No metal ion leaching into surrounding tissues
- Ideal for patients with metal allergies or autoimmune conditions
- Natural white colour — aesthetically superior in the gum zone
- One-piece and two-piece options available
Tooth Regeneration Therapies for Root Canal Treated Teeth
Revitalising Dead Teeth with Biological Protocols
This is a nuanced area and treatment decisions are always made on a case-by-case basis following thorough clinical evaluation.
Conventional root canal treatment removes the tooth's nerve and blood supply, leaving a 'dead' tooth in the jawbone. Emerging biological dentistry research suggests that these teeth can harbour anaerobic bacteria in dentinal tubules, potentially linked to systemic inflammatory conditions. Dr. Mehta offers biological approaches to managing and, where possible, revitalising root canal treated teeth.
What this treatment includes:
- Ozone therapy for disinfection of root canal system
- Biological irrigation protocols (ozonated water)
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) regenerative support
- Nutritional and supplementation support for remineralisation
- Assessment of existing root canal treated teeth for focal infection risk
- Biologics-informed extraction and socket healing for non-salvageable teeth
- Holistic treatment planning post-extraction
Holistic Oral Health Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive one-on-one consultation with Dr. Mehta. This is not a standard dental check-up — it is a thorough investigation of your dental history, systemic health concerns, lifestyle, and goals.
Together, you will map out a customised biological dental treatment plan that prioritises your whole-body health — not just your teeth.
