When it comes to caring for your smile, it shouldn’t just look good; it should also support your overall health. At Nashville Restorative Dentistry, we welcome many patients from the Thompson’s Station, Tennessee area who are looking for a more thoughtful, biologically aware approach to dentistry.
Drs. Ryan Jones and Caleb Estes provide mercury-free, holistic, biological dentistry that goes beyond simply “fixing teeth” and considers the impact of dental materials and treatments on your entire body.
Here are seven advantages of mercury-free and holistic dentistry you may not have considered:
Traditional amalgam fillings contain mercury, a metal that raises health and environmental concerns. Choosing a mercury-free practice means minimizing your exposure to this material and eliminating it from future treatment. It’s one more way to support your overall health while keeping your smile strong.
Holistic and biological dentistry views the mouth as part of a larger, interconnected system. Your oral health can influence things like inflammation, sleep, and even cardiovascular health. Whenever possible, we choose treatment options that support your long-term wellness, not just your short-term dental needs.
If you have old amalgam fillings, they must be removed safely. Our team follows strict protocols for safe mercury removal, using specialized equipment and techniques to help protect you from unnecessary exposure during the process. The goal is to keep you comfortable and protected at every step.
We prioritize biocompatible materials that are designed to work in harmony with your body. These materials are selected to minimize potential reactions or sensitivities and to reduce stress on your immune system, while still providing durable, esthetic results.
Whenever possible, we use conservative, minimally invasive methods that preserve as much healthy tooth structure and tissue as we can. This often leads to more comfortable procedures, faster recovery, and stronger teeth over time.
Mercury-free, biologically aware dentistry also takes the environment into account. By avoiding certain metals and carefully managing waste, we help reduce the environmental footprint of dental treatment.
Holistic dentistry emphasizes prevention through nutrition, home care habits, and lifestyle choices rather than waiting for problems to develop. This proactive approach can save you time, money, and stress while helping you maintain a healthier mouth and body.
At Nashville Restorative Dentistry, we believe your smile should reflect your health and vitality. We’re proud to provide mercury-free, holistic, biological dentistry to patients from Franklin, Thompson’s Station, Spring Hill, Nashville, Brentwood, Cool Springs, and Nolensville.

Issue: Two badly infected and broken upper front teeth as well as poor alignment of his teeth overall.
Solution: Through a process involving extractions, bone grafting, and braces we were able to achieve a healthy, infection free point which allowed dental implants to be placed and utilized to replace the two missing front teeth.
