Biological Dentistry (Formerly Known as Seattle Dental Care)
Serving Patients Across Alaska
We proudly serve patients traveling from across Alaska, including:
- Anchorage
- Fairbanks
- Juneau
- Wasilla
- Kenai Peninsula
Many Alaska patients seek care with us for advanced biological dentistry treatments that focus on identifying and addressing the root cause of oral health concerns.
Our Seattle Office Location
Conveniently located near Pike Place Market, our office is easily accessible for patients traveling from Alaska via direct flights into Seattle.
Why Alaska Patients Choose Biological Dentistry
Patients from Alaska often travel to us for:
- Mercury (Amalgam) Removal
- Root Canal Removal & Hidden-Infection Assessment and Treatment
- Evaluation of chronic dental infections
- Zirconia (ceramic) implants
- A comprehensive biological approach to better improved oral health
Advanced Diagnostics with CBCT Imaging
We utilize high quality CBCT (3D imaging) to detect:
- Hidden jawbone infections
- Issues around root canal-treated teeth
- Issues around metal implants
- Bone structure for implant planning
This allows for a deeper understanding of infection and inflammation that may not be visible on standard X-rays.
Mercury Removal (Safe Amalgam Removal for Alaska Patients)
Many patients traveling from Alaska seek safe mercury (amalgam) removal as part of a biological approach to dentistry. Traditional silver fillings can contain mercury, which may release vapor over time, especially during chewing or grinding.
Over time, mercury will accumulate in the body, and our body is unable to naturally detoxify these heavy metals efficiently. At Biological Dentistry (Formerly Known as Seattle Dental Care), our doctors are knowledgeable not only in the safe removal of mercury fillings using protective protocols, but also in guiding patients through supportive measures aimed to detoxify the accumulation of these harmful toxins.
At our office, we follow a strict safety protocol designed to reduce exposure during removal. This includes:
- Isolation techniques to minimize ingestion or inhalation
- High-volume suction and air filtration
- Protective barriers and controlled removal methods
- Supportive measures before and after treatment
Our goal is to remove amalgam fillings in a way that prioritizes safety, precision, and overall wellness.
Amalgam Removal (Mercury Removal)
Root Canal Removal & Chronic Infection Management
Some Alaska patients visit us due to ongoing concerns with root canal-treated teeth, especially when symptoms such as discomfort, fatigue, or unresolved inflammation persist.
In certain cases, root canal-treated teeth may harbor anaerobic bacteria within microscopic tubules that are difficult to fully sterilize. This can contribute to localized or systemic inflammation.
Our biological approach focuses on:
- Careful evaluation using advanced imaging (CBCT)
- Determining whether the tooth is a potential source of chronic infection
- Atraumatic extraction when clinically indicated
- Thorough debridement and cleaning of the surrounding bone
- Creating an environment that supports proper healing
We aim to address hidden sources of infection and restore a healthier oral foundation.
Zirconia (Ceramic) Dental Implants
For patients needing tooth replacement, we offer zirconia (ceramic) dental implants as a metal-free alternative.
Zirconia implants are:
- Biocompatible and designed to integrate naturally with the body
- Free from metal, making them an option for patients with sensitivities or preferences for non-metal restorations
- Aesthetic, with a tooth-colored appearance that blends naturally with surrounding tissue
These implants are often part of a broader biological treatment plan focused on reducing inflammation and supporting long-term health.
Zirconia Dental ImplantsHow These Treatments Work Together
For many Alaska patients, care involves a comprehensive approach, not just a single procedure.
This may include:
- Removing potential sources of toxicity (amalgam fillings)
- Addressing areas of chronic infection (root canal removal / extraction)
- Rebuilding with biocompatible materials (zirconia implants)
By combining these approaches, we aim to support both oral health and overall wellness in a more integrated way.
A Whole-Body Approach to Oral Health
We evaluate:
- Chronic oral infections
- Inflammation and toxicity
- Oral-systemic connections
Our goal is to restore a healthier oral environment that supports overall wellness.
