Biological dentistry: A better way to support a better smile
Oral health does not exist in isolation. As biological and holistic practitioners in Turlock, California, the office of Ramsin K. Davoud DDS only uses those materials and products that support the overall health and well-being of your entire “system.”
Our patients from throughout the greater Modesto and Merced area can trust that recommendations made by Dr. Davoud are always in the best interests of your smile, health, and overall quality of life.
Proactive, big-picture care makes the difference
Dr. Davoud partners with you to develop a schedule of follow-up visits tailored to your unique oral health needs. Consistent, periodic visits also allow for early detection of conditions such as enamel erosion, tooth decay, gum inflammation and gum infections. We also use advanced technologies to aid in our understanding and proactively preventing and managing conditions like advanced gum disease to keep the “whole you” healthy and happy.
Furthermore, this preventative foundation supports conservative dentistry. When caught and addressed early, teeth damaged by conditions such as dental decay require that minimal dental material be introduced to rebuild the tooth. Conservative dentistry also aligns well with biomimetic principles. Generally, the more natural tissue that is preserved, the more natural the rebuilt tooth feels.
Restoring oral health, the healthy way
Contrary to their name, silver fillings are not made from silver at all. They get their name from their silver hue. But the truth is, these fillings are made from a mix or amalgam of metals that include elemental or liquid mercury. The International Academy of Oral Medicine & Toxicology has isolated some 200 ailments and medical conditions associated with mercury exposure. For these and other reasons, we only place fillings made from non-metal materials, such as composite resin.

In addition to being mercury-free, we are also mercury-safe. Our team has the equipment and training on specific protocols to minimize mercury exposure while removing amalgam “silver” fillings. Also, we are big advocates of zirconium oxide (Zirconia) dental implants that present a metal-free alternative to implants made from titanium. Beyond materials that support lasting health, we also use techniques like dental ozone to encourage natural, fast, and predictable healing.
