Know Your Materials
Dental Compatibility Testing
Before we place anything, we help you choose materials your body is happy with. Many patients already know which materials aren’t right for them, mercury fillings, nickel-based crowns, but few are ever told which healthier materials to choose instead. Here, that choice is tested, explained, and genuinely yours.
The swatch drawer
Flip a swatch to see how each family of materials earns a place in your mouth. Or doesn’t.
Ceramic & porcelain
Crowns · veneers · onlaysBeautifully tooth-like, metal-free, and kind to gum tissue. Layered ceramics are our workhorse for strength with natural optics.
Zirconia
High-strength restorationsExceptionally strong and biocompatible for teeth that take heavy chewing force. Chosen when durability leads the brief.
Layered composite
Bonded fillings & repairsTooth-colored resin placed in careful layers. The biomimetic favorite for conservative repairs that flex like natural dentin.
Metals & amalgam
Not placed hereMercury amalgam and reactive base metals never enter our operatory. Where they already exist, we offer safe, SMART-protocol removal.
How we test
Different bodies, different answers. We combine methods. And collaborate with your naturopath or chiropractor when you have one.
Serum compatibility testing
A blood-based screening that flags materials your immune system is most likely to react to, producing a personal “use / avoid” list across hundreds of dental products.
Biofeedback
Reading how your body responds to candidate materials. A gentle, non-invasive layer of information many holistic patients ask for by name.
Applied kinesiology
Muscle-response testing used as a supporting signal alongside the clinical picture. Never as the sole deciding factor.
Integrative collaboration
Dr. Zadeh works alongside naturopaths, chiropractors, and physicians so material choices fit the rest of your health plan.
Healthier, biocompatible materials aren’t always as strong as traditional ones, so the right choice depends on you. Your bite, your musculature, whether you grind, and the health of your gums. Compatibility testing weighs all of it before anything is placed, and Dr. Zadeh presents the advantages and trade-offs of every option so the final decision is one you make together.
A well-informed patient can make all the decisions needed to take control of their dental health.
