We answer the most common questions about biological dentistry
What is biological dentistry, and how does it differ from traditional dentistry?
Biological dentistry is a dental care approach that considers oral health, the patient’s medical history, and the individualized selection of materials and procedures. At W SMILE, in Medellín, we integrate this approach with dental diagnosis to evaluate alternatives such as biocompatible materials, amalgam removal protocols, and complementary therapies. Its application must be supported by clinical criteria, and it does not replace conventional dental treatments of proven efficacy.
Is it safe to remove mercury amalgams, and what is the SMART protocol?
The SMART protocol (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) brings together measures designed to reduce exposure to mercury particles and vapors during the removal of dental amalgams. At W SMILE, we consider this protocol when there is a clinical indication to remove a restoration. It’s important to clarify that not all amalgams need to be replaced: if they are in good condition, removing them without justification can temporarily increase mercury exposure and cause unnecessary loss of tooth structure.
What are the biocompatible materials used in biological dentistry?
Biocompatible materials are those selected by considering how they interact with the tissues and the individual characteristics of the patient. At W SMILE, we evaluate dental restoration alternatives based on factors such as the condition of the teeth, chewing function, history of sensitivity or allergy, and the properties of the material. There is no ideal material for every patient, so choosing one requires a personalized dental assessment.
¿Qué diferencia hay entre una endodoncia biológica y una endodoncia convencional?
La endodoncia biológica mantiene los principios del tratamiento de conductos convencional, pero pone especial atención en la selección de materiales biocompatibles y la conservación de los tejidos dentales. En W SMILE Premium Dental Practice, en Medellín, evaluamos alternativas como los selladores biocerámicos, que pueden favorecer un adecuado sellado de los conductos y son compatibles con los tejidos circundantes. Nuestro enfoque de odontología biológica integra diagnóstico individual, técnicas de desinfección y materiales seleccionados según las necesidades de cada paciente.
What are photodynamic laser therapy and ILIB therapy used for in dentistry?
At W SMILE, in Medellín, we incorporate photodynamic laser therapy and ILIB therapy as complementary treatments within our biological dentistry approach. Photodynamic therapy helps reduce microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi associated with certain oral conditions, and its use against some viral infections has also been researched. ILIB therapy, for its part, is studied for its potential benefits in reducing pain, inflammation, and cellular oxidative stress, as well as its effects on certain inflammatory processes in the body. Both procedures are indicated according to each patient’s needs and as a complement to established dental treatments.
How much does a biological dentistry treatment cost in Medellín?
The price of a biological dentistry treatment in Medellín depends on the procedure required, the materials used, and the complexity of the case. At W SMILE, we prioritize biocompatible materials, with BPA (bisphenol A)-free options and options free of potentially toxic components, depending on the characteristics of each material and the patient’s needs. We perform a personalized assessment to determine whether it is necessary to replace dental restorations or perform complementary treatments. Based on the diagnosis, our team establishes a treatment plan and an individualized quote.
