1
What is Bio Health Dentistry?
It’s a dental approach that considers the connection between oral health and the body’s overall wellness. It uses natural and non-invasive techniques whenever possible and avoids harmful substances. It emphasizes biocompatible materials like porcelain, ceramic, and composite fillings instead of mercury or other metals.

What materials do you use in your practice?
At Oravea Dental Bio Health, ceramic or porcelain crowns and metal-free zirconium implants are preferred over metal alternatives. Composite and porcelain materials are used for fillings and other restorative work. We do not use mercury amalgams and are often certified in the safe removal of existing ones (SMART Certified).

What are your common treatments or procedures?
At Oravea Dental Bio Health we perform routine cleanings, checkups, and other procedures, but with a focus on overall wellness. Another technique is Biometrics which preserves as much healthy tooth structure as possible when repairing teeth. Ozone therapy which is used as a natural and non-invasive way to kill bacteria, reduce inflammation, and aid healing. Biomimetic dentistry:

I have metal fillings currently, what should I do?
If you already have metal fillings or other metal restorations, we can safely remove the metals and replace them with metal-free, biocompatible materials on an as-needed basis. Not all mercury filling removals are the same (it can be a very dangerous procedure). We take extra precautions to keep you safe during the procedure, even going so far as to develop our own safe protocol that is above and beyond what is required.
5
Do you offer fluoride treatment?
We avoid using or recommend fluoride, as it could potentially buildup in the body.
6
Do you cost more than traditional dentists?
Costs for dental procedures can vary widely depending on the materials and techniques used. Our prices are commensurate with the quality and level of service you receive, and most of our patients would agree. While some of our services may be more expensive than discount dental practices, we have also found that some of our services are less expensive over time.
7
Do you offer payment plans?
We accept checks, cash, Mastercard, Visa, and Discover. There are also credit services such as CareCredit, Alphaeon Credit, or Lending Club that specialize in dental credit plans.
8
Do you accept dental insurance?
We are not currently in network with any insurance carriers. If you have a PPO or Indemnity plan that allows you to see the provider of your choice, we can probably help you with your insurance. Regardless of your insurance situation, we can help you maximize your reimbursement from your insurance company.
