Our Philosophy

The Mouth Isn't Separate From the Rest of You

Biological dentistry considers how the materials and procedures we use interact with your body as a whole — favoring biocompatible, metal-free materials and conservative, tissue-preserving techniques.

A Materials-First Mindset

Every material placed in your mouth is there for years. We believe those choices should be made deliberately — with your individual biology and preferences in mind, not by default.

That means metal-free options wherever practical, careful technique when removing old materials, and biologic support to help your body heal naturally.

We treat the tooth — and we never lose sight of the person it belongs to.

🌿

Biocompatible by Design

Metal-free materials, conservative technique, and your body's own healing biology — working together toward dentistry that fits you.

What We Offer

Biological Dentistry Services

A focused set of services for patients who want a metal-free, biocompatible approach to their dental care.

🧪

Material Compatibility Testing

Before placing materials, we can evaluate how compatible they are for you — including the potential for galvanic (electrical) reactions that can occur when dissimilar metals sit together in the mouth. This helps us choose materials suited to your biology.

Metal-Free Ceramic Implants

We place ceramic (zirconia) implants following the Swiss BioHealth protocol — a metal-free alternative to titanium. Gum tissue tends to attach well to ceramic, and the material releases no particles into surrounding tissue.

SMART Amalgam Removal

When replacing old amalgam (mercury) fillings, we follow a protective SMART-style protocol: rubber dam isolation, high-volume suction, supplemental clean-air supply, and sectioning the filling for controlled removal.

PRF / PRP Biologic Support

Platelet-rich fibrin and plasma use your body's own healing factors to support tissue and bone recovery — often combined with implant placement and extractions to support natural healing.

Metal-Free Ceramic Implants, Swiss BioHealth Protocol

For patients who want tooth replacement without metal, ceramic implants are the answer — and placing them well takes specific training and technique.

  • Zirconia ceramic — a metal-free alternative to titanium
  • Gum tissue tends to attach well to the ceramic surface
  • Releases no metal particles into surrounding tissue
  • Often paired with PRF/PRP to support healing
  • Placed following the Swiss BioHealth protocol

A Regional Destination

True Biological Dentistry Is Hard to Find

Few practices across the Midwest offer ceramic implants with the Swiss BioHealth protocol, material compatibility testing, and protective amalgam removal under one roof. Patients travel to Lafayette from across Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky to find it.

🗺️

Worth the Drive

An easy day trip from Indianapolis, Chicago, and Fort Wayne for biological care many can't find closer to home.

🎓

Protocol-Trained

Ceramic implants placed following the Swiss BioHealth protocol — not every dentist offers this.

🤝

Coordinated Travel Visits

For out-of-town patients we group appointments efficiently so treatment fits fewer trips.

Common Questions

Biological Dentistry FAQs

What is biological (holistic) dentistry?

It's an approach that considers how dental materials and procedures interact with the rest of the body, emphasizing biocompatible, metal-free materials and conservative, tissue-preserving techniques. At Highland Creek, that includes material compatibility testing, metal-free ceramic implants, SMART-protocol amalgam removal, and PRF/PRP biologic support.

What is material biocompatibility testing?

Before placing materials in your mouth, we can evaluate how compatible they are for you — including the potential for galvanic (electrical) reactions that can occur when dissimilar metals are present together. This helps us select materials suited to you, particularly if you prefer to avoid metals.

Do you offer metal-free ceramic implants?

Yes. We place metal-free ceramic (zirconia) implants following the Swiss BioHealth protocol — a metal-free alternative to titanium. Gum tissue tends to attach well to ceramic, and we often combine implant placement with PRF/PRP to support healing.

Do you safely remove old amalgam (mercury) fillings?

Yes. When replacing amalgam fillings, we follow a protective SMART-style protocol — rubber dam isolation, high-volume suction, supplemental clean-air supply, and sectioning the filling for controlled removal. Whether to replace an amalgam filling is an individual decision we make together based on your situation.

What are PRF and PRP?

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are prepared from a small sample of your own blood and use your body's natural healing factors to support tissue and bone recovery. They're often used alongside implant placement and extractions.
