What Makes Biological Dentistry Unique?
Biological dentistry focuses on using biocompatible materials and techniques that support your overall health. Furthermore, by avoiding toxins and preserving natural teeth, this holistic approach promotes long-term wellness for both you and your family.
At Byond Dental, we view the mouth as an integral part of your overall health. Unlike conventional dentistry, our treatments are designed to minimize toxicity, promote natural healing, and mimic nature’s design—all while prioritizing prevention and evidence-based care.
Our practice stands out with advanced techniques and certifications, including the SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) protocol, activated oxygen therapy, and cutting-edge technologies like Zirconia dental implants, platelet-rich fibrin therapy, 3D CBCT imaging, digital radiographs, and oral health scanning. In fact, our team carefully tailors each treatment to protect and improve your overall health, ensuring a dental experience that goes beyond just your smile.
New to biological dentistry? Here’s how our approach works.
Should You Replace Your Mercury Fillings?
Amalgam fillings contain approximately 50% mercury. As a result, routine actions such as chewing, brushing, or temperature changes can release mercury vapors into your mouth.
Amalgam Cracks Teeth
Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear aligners that move your teeth in the ideal position.
Recurrent Decay
Due to metals expanding and contracting, amalgam fillings form open margins that can leak causing recurrent decay.
Aesthetics
Mercury free composite fillings are white and aesthetic like your natural tooth.
SMART amalgam removal
We follow the IAOMT SMART (Safe Amalgam Removal Technique) protocol to reduce patient and staff exposure to mercury vapors during mercury amalgam replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Below are some of the most common questions we receive about Biological Dentistry.
Is holistic dentistry the same as biological dentistry?
Holistic and biological dentistry share a similar philosophy, emphasizing the connection between oral health and overall well-being. However, biological dentistry goes further by following science-backed protocols — such as SMART-certified mercury removal and the use of biocompatible, non-toxic materials.
At Byond Dental, we don’t rely on philosophy alone — we follow evidence-based practices that prioritize your long-term health.
Does Byond Dental use ozone therapy in treatments?
Yes. At Byond Dental, we use activated oxygen (ozone therapy) as a natural disinfectant across many biological dentistry treatments. Ozone may be applied as a rinse or irrigant to thoroughly clean infected tissue, reduce bacteria, and promote healing. It is also used beneath the gums to treat periodontal infections and can help desensitize root surfaces naturally.
By using ozone therapy, we support faster healing, minimize the need for harsh chemicals, and align with our commitment to safe, science-backed biological care.
Should I remove my root canal treated tooth?
A Root Canal is performed when tooth decay is left untreated and bacteria infiltrate the pulp of the tooth. The goal of root canal treatment is to remove the bacteria and nerve tissue from the tooth, and seal it from the inside out. Root canal treated teeth are often re-infected, and not thoroughly cleaned, acting as a harbor for new bacteria to proliferate. Root canal treatment teeth that are re-infected often times should be removed to prevent further infection.
Should I remove my mercury fillings?
This is a great question because we get it so often. Mercury amalgam fillings often have leakage where bacteria infiltrate under the filling and cause recurrent decay. They also can cause structural problems to a tooth leading to fracture. These mercury fillings should be removed and replaced using the IAOMT SMART protocol.
Does your composite have BPA in it?
Many traditional dental composites and glass ionomers contain BPA (bisphenol A), a chemical commonly found in plastics. Research has linked BPA to potential endocrine disruption, raising concerns about its long-term health effects. At Byond Dental, serving patients in Metro Detroit, Sterling Heights, Madison Heights, and surrounding Michigan areas, we prioritize your well-being by offering BPA-free composite options for dental fillings and restorations.
Our BPA-free composites are a safe, biocompatible alternative for patients seeking holistic dental care. Whether you need a cavity filled, restorative work, or cosmetic procedures, we ensure your materials are tailored to your health preferences. By choosing BPA-free options, you can rest assured that your dental treatments align with your commitment to a healthier, holistic lifestyle.
If you’re searching for a “bpa-free dentist near me” or “BPA-free fillings in Metro Detroit,” look no further than Byond Dental. Contact us today to learn more about our biological, biocompatible approach to dentistry or to schedule an appointment.
What metal-free options do I have for replacing my missing tooth?
A porcelain / ceramic bridge is one way to replace a missing tooth. This requires us to prepare the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth. Zirconia dental implants replace missing teeth without touching any neighboring teeth.
