Biocompatibility Testing
In our practice, we believe your mouth is not separate from the rest of your body—it is deeply connected. That’s why we offer biocompatibility testing to ensure the dental materials we use are in harmony with your individual biology.
Some clients have reactions to certain metals, composites, or bonding agents without even realizing to what they are reacting. Especially if you live with autoimmune conditions, chemical sensitivities, or chronic illness, your body may be telling a story worth listening to.
With a simple blood test, we can identify which dental materials are most compatible with your immune system. This empowers us to choose safer, more supportive options for your fillings, crowns, implants, and other restorations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Biocompatibility testing identifies which dental materials are safest for your unique immune system. It is especially recommended for patients with autoimmune conditions, chemical sensitivities, or a history of allergies.

Digital X-Rays
Modern digital dental x-rays benefit patients in several ways:
- Digital x-rays expose patients to considerably less radiation than conventional film x-rays.
- Digital x-rays require almost no time for development, reducing time spent waiting in the dental chair.
- Digital x-rays allow for incredibly precise and accurate images for timely diagnoses.
- Digital x-rays are securely stored in your digital file and can be securely sent to your insurance company or specialists when necessary.
Because no chemicals are needed for developing the images and no space is needed for film storage, digital x-rays are better for the environment.
