Biocompatible materials are dental materials designed to work harmoniously with the body’s natural tissues. Unlike traditional metals or synthetic compounds that may trigger sensitivities or inflammation, biocompatible options minimize adverse reactions while supporting oral and overall health. As a biological dentist in Lake Oswego, OR, Dr. Larry Bowden uses these materials to promote safer, more holistic dental care.
What Is Biological Dentistry?
In biological dentistry, biocompatibility is especially important because it ensures that the materials placed in your mouth behave predictably and safely within your unique biology. BPA-free composites, ceramic restorations, and non-metal alternatives reduce the risk of allergic responses and help maintain the natural balance of the mouth. These materials also tend to integrate more naturally with tooth structure, enhancing comfort, durability, and aesthetics.
Whether you’re replacing an old restoration, treating decay, or seeking a more natural approach to dentistry, biocompatible materials offer reassurance that your dental care is actively supporting your overall health.
