Holistic Fillings: A Natural Approach to Dental Restoration
At Dr. Sharon Dickerson’s practice, we believe in providing safe, biocompatible dental care that aligns with your values and commitment to a holistic lifestyle. Our holistic fillings are a revolutionary alternative to traditional amalgam and composite fillings, offering a natural solution for restoring damaged or decayed teeth.
The Benefits of Holistic Fillings
Conventional dental fillings often contain mercury, BPA, and other potentially toxic materials that can pose risks to your overall health and wellbeing. Our holistic fillings are carefully crafted from biocompatible, non-toxic materials that work in harmony with your body, providing numerous advantages:
- Reduced risk of sensitivity or allergic reactions
- Improved long-term oral health outcomes
- Aesthetic, natural-looking results
- Environmentally-friendly and sustainable materials
The Materials We Use
Our holistic fillings are meticulously crafted from the finest natural and biocompatible materials, including:
- Ceramic materials: Durable and long-lasting, with a natural tooth-like appearance.
- Composite resins: Free from BPA and other harmful chemicals, these resins mimic the strength and aesthetics of natural tooth structure.
Our team of experienced holistic dentists carefully selects the appropriate material based on your specific needs and preferences, ensuring optimal results.
The Holistic Filling Process
Receiving holistic fillings at our practice is a straightforward and comfortable experience. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Consultation and Assessment: During your initial visit, our dentist will thoroughly evaluate your oral health, discuss your concerns, and determine the best course of action.
2. Preparation: The affected area will be carefully prepared, ensuring a precise fit for your new holistic filling.

FAQs
- Traditional dental fillings like amalgam (silver) and composite fillings contain materials like mercury, BPA, and other synthetic chemicals that may pose health risks. Holistic fillings use biocompatible, non-toxic materials like ceramic, composite resins, and glass ionomer cements that are safe for the body and environment.
Yes, holistic fillings made from high-quality ceramic or reinforced composite resins can be just as strong and long-lasting as traditional fillings when placed by an experienced holistic dentist like Dr. Dickerson.
- Absolutely. Dr. Dickerson carefully selects filling materials that blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color and texture. The ceramic and composite resin options mimic the translucency and luster of real tooth enamel for beautiful, natural-looking results.
- The process is very similar to getting a traditional filling. After numbing the area (or using a dental laser), Dr. Dickerson will remove any decay, clean and prepare the tooth, then place and sculpt the holistic filling material. The entire procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes.
- The cost can be slightly higher due to the premium biocompatible materials used. However, Dr. Dickerson believes investing in your long-term health is invaluable. Many patients find holistic fillings to be worth the modest increase in cost.
- Not really. You’ll care for teeth with holistic fillings just as you would your natural teeth – brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend your recommended dental cleanings and exams with Dr. Dickerson. Avoiding staining foods/drinks can help maintain their appearance.

“Dr Sharon Dickerson and her entire staff is absolutely amazing! I had been looking for a biological dentist for over a year when I came across her website. The whole office is so warm, kind and caring. They truly want to help you in any way they can. I’ve had nothing short of a positive experience here! The office space is so welcoming with state-of-the-art equipment.
I sought out a biological dentist to investigate the possibility of having infected cavitations following getting my wisdom teeth removed 10 years ago. I was having gut issues, fatigue, brain fog, skin rashes. Dr Sharon listened to my concerns and validated what I was going through. No one tried to up-sell me on any procedure and helped me to get the answers I needed.
I worked with Nicole and she was fantastic–so knowledgeable and also assisted with my surgery! Carly is absolutely wonderful, she is so caring and can answer all your questions as well as put your fears to rest. I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for answers. Trust me, your health is worth it! I can’t thank Dr. Sharon and her team enough. I feel like I have my life back!”
