Biological Dentistry That Supports Your Health Journey

Biological dentistry considers how dental materials, infections, and procedures affect your whole body—not just your teeth. At America Dental, we use biocompatible materials, SMART mercury removal, ozone therapy, and protocols aligned with integrative and functional health goals.

Holistic dentistry is another term for biological dentistry: an approach that connects oral health to systemic wellness. We focus on safe removal of toxic materials, minimizing inflammation, and supporting patients who prioritize long-term health over quick fixes.

When performed without proper protocol, amalgam removal can increase mercury vapor exposure. Our IAOMT SMART-certified team uses rubber dam isolation, high-volume suction, air filtration, and sectional removal to protect you and our staff throughout the procedure.

SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) is the IAOMT standard for minimizing mercury exposure during amalgam removal. It includes protective equipment, room filtration, proper amalgam handling, and biocompatible replacement materials.

Many of our patients work with functional medicine practitioners or follow structured wellness programs. We coordinate timing of amalgam removal, cavitation treatment, and restorative care with your broader health plan—without making medical claims about detox outcomes.

Patients travel to America Dental for IAOMT/SMART-certified care, advanced technology, and significant savings compared to US biological dentistry fees—while receiving personalized attention from a team experienced with international, health-conscious patients.

Oligoscan is a non-invasive spectrophotometry test that estimates mineral and heavy metal levels through the palm. It helps inform a personalized picture of your status and supports discussion with your dental and medical team—results should be interpreted in clinical context.

We offer heavy metals assessment including Oligoscan as part of a comprehensive biological evaluation. This supports informed decisions about amalgam removal timing, nutrition, and coordination with your healthcare providers.

Medical ozone is used in biological dentistry for disinfection and support in prevention, periodontics, surgery, and endodontics. It is a minimally invasive adjunct that aligns with our focus on reducing bacterial load and supporting healing—individual results vary.

A mercury-free practice avoids placing new amalgam fillings and follows strict protocols when removing existing amalgam. America Dental is SMART-certified and does not use mercury-containing restorative materials for new work.

Yes. We diagnose and treat jawbone cavitations—often related to previous extractions or infection—using biological protocols and advanced imaging including CBCT. See our cavitation treatment page for more detail.

Zirconia implants are metal-free and favored by many biological dentistry patients concerned about titanium sensitivity or systemic metal load. We offer ceramic implants alongside comprehensive evaluation of your bone and bite.

Use our contact form or call our US line. We review your history, goals, and imaging (if available), then outline a treatment approach and travel timeline for Costa Rica—no obligation.

Most patients can travel after a short recovery period. Your timeline depends on how many fillings are removed, restorative needs, and your overall health. We provide personalized guidance before you book flights.

Traditional dentistry often focuses on treating teeth in isolation. Biological dentistry evaluates materials, hidden infection, airway and bite factors, and how oral conditions may relate to chronic inflammation—using safer protocols and biocompatible options.

Yes. We regularly coordinate with patients under functional, integrative, or wellness-oriented care. Share your practitioner’s recommendations and lab work so we can align dental timing with your broader program.

Our clinic includes CBCT 3D imaging, Trios digital scanning, Navident guided surgery, Er:YAG and D-Storm lasers, ozone therapy, Oligoscan, hyperbaric chamber support, and advanced hygiene systems—supporting precise, minimally invasive care.
