What Is Metallic Testing?

Metallic testing can identify mercury, nickel, lead, and other metals commonly found in dental materials. This testing is a crucial part of our holistic dentistry philosophy at Dentistry By Design because certain metals used in dental work, like amalgam fillings, can bleed into the bloodstream, potentially causing adverse effects on oral and overall health.

When these metals accumulate in the body, they can cause allergic reactions, contribute to chronic conditions like fatigue and headaches, and even impact vital organs such as the kidneys, liver, and brain. By identifying and addressing metal toxicity early on, our Midwest City, OK, team can help you avoid these serious health risks and create personalized treatment plans that use biocompatible materials and safer, more natural dental care options.

Why Metallic Testing Is Important

With metallic testing, our team can identify potentially harmful metals in the body that can be absorbed by dental materials, leading to various health risks. Common metals used in dentistry, such as mercury, nickel, and lead, have been linked to toxicity and can negatively impact overall health.

Mercury can be released into the body over time from amalgam filings and may cause neurological or kidney damage. Nickel and lead are also known to trigger allergic reactions or autoimmune responses, which can contribute to health issues like fatigue, headaches, or skin rashes. By conducting metallic tests, our Dentistry By Design team can assess the risks these metals may have on your body, allowing us to take the proper steps to protect your oral and overall health!

We Test for Titanium Compatibility Before Your Implant Procedure

When it comes to dental implant placement, we perform a thorough evaluation to ensure it’s the right material for you and your body. We understand every patient’s body will react differently to certain materials, so we conduct tests to assess your sensitivity or potential allergic reactions to titanium. These metallic tests help our Dentistry By Design team determine whether titanium implants integrate well with your bone and support long-term oral health.
