Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing Bio-Compatible Dental Materials, the Gold Standard of Dentistry
Dr. Farnum has researched the bio-compatibility of available dental materials. He has become passionate about the health benefits and overall effectiveness of gold. No other restorative material compares with gold for effectiveness, longevity, lack of chemical reactivity, value, and bio-compatibility with oral tissues. These properties make it the best material for returning teeth to Form and Function while supporting whole-body health.This is why it is called the ‘Gold Standard’ of dentistry.
For restorations, Dr. Farnum prefers a high quality platinum-gold alloy that meets his specifications. Porcelain has benefits similar to gold, including bio-compatibility. Where desired for aesthetic reasons, gold can be covered with porcelain, or dental work can be 100% porcelain, to mimic and blend with the surrounding natural teeth.
Other dental materials used in Dr. Farnum’s practice are chosen based on their low re-activity, bio-compatibility and ultimate support of oral and whole-body health. Most patients, even those with chemical sensitivities, are typically comfortable with the materials used by Dr. Farnum.
