Dr. Dennis T. Nagata, DDS
Restorative Mercury Free Dentistry

There is much discussion about the toxic content of dental materials that you have in your teeth. At Health Center for Aesthetic & Restorative Dentistry, we believe it is an outdated material that may be affecting your health. Amalgam fillings are removed safely with the correct precautions and equipment used. Newer, more advanced tooth coloured materials that are bio-compatible for your over-all health are used to replace mercury amalgams.

We have developed a specific program for mercury filling removal to ensure the best result for your overall health. This involves the use of a rubber dam, medical air, hepar filter exhaust (to capture the mercury vapors) and nasal oxygen inhalers while removing these fillings.

Mercury Amalgam Fillings	Amalgams Replaced With Porcelain Fillings

Temporomandibular Dysfunctional (TMJ) patients often complain of symptoms relating to jaw, neck, shoulder pain, chronic headaches, pressure behind the eyes, light sensitivity, ear ringing and stuffiness, postural imbalances, difficulty in chewing and opening the mouth, feeling a tingling sensation in the arm and hands and clenching and grinding their teeth. These symptoms are attributed to a bad dental bite characterized by facial and jaw muscle tension.

We use the state of the art computerized diagnostic instrument (Kinesiograph) to record the correct jaw - teeth bite relationship along with an orthopedic jaw repositioner, postural and muscle tension relaxation techniques to free up these TMJ symptoms.
