Comprehensive Biological &
Holistic Dental Care
Every service at Dr. Mehta's clinic is anchored in the principle that what goes in your mouth affects your whole body. Safe, biocompatible, and scientifically grounded.
SMART Mercury Filling Removal
SMART Protocol β International Standard of Care
Dr. Mehta recommends patients discuss mercury detox with a functional medicine or naturopathic practitioner before and after treatment.
Amalgam fillings contain approximately 50% mercury by weight. While controversy exists regarding the degree of harm, numerous studies document mercury vapour release from amalgam, particularly during chewing, grinding, and temperature changes. Dr. Mehta follows the internationally recognised SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) protocol to minimise exposure during removal.
What this treatment includes:
- Sectional removal β fillings removed in large chunks to minimise vapour
- High-volume evacuation throughout the procedure
- Rubber dam isolation to prevent ingestion
- Nasal oxygen or air supply for patient
- Full protective cover for patient and clinical team
- Activated charcoal and chlorella supplementation guidance
- Post-removal detox support protocol recommendations
Biomimetic Fillings
No Mercury. No BPA. No Compromise.
All materials used are sourced from manufacturers that provide full biocompatibility documentation.
Biomimetic dentistry restores teeth using materials and techniques that mimic the natural structure and function of tooth enamel and dentine. Once amalgam is safely removed, Dr. Mehta replaces it with advanced biocompatible composites, ceramic inlays, and onlays β free from heavy metals, BPA, and known allergens, and matched precisely to your natural tooth colour.
What this treatment includes:
- BPA-free, metal-free composite resins
- Ceramic and porcelain inlays/onlays for large cavities
- Shade-matched to surrounding natural teeth
- Minimally invasive preparation β preserving maximum tooth structure
- Strong, durable, aesthetically excellent results
- Biocompatibility testing available on request
Zirconia Crowns
Premium Metal-Free Restoration with Natural Aesthetics
Zirconia crowns are the preferred choice for patients transitioning to a fully metal-free mouth.
Zirconia (zirconium dioxide) crowns represent the gold standard in metal-free dental restorations. Stronger than porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns, they eliminate the risk of metal ion leaching, galvanic interference, and dark gum lines β while achieving exceptional natural aesthetics.
What this treatment includes:
- 100% metal-free β no base metal alloys, no nickel, no chromium
- Strength exceeds traditional PFM crowns
- No grey gum line over time
- Ideal for patients with metal sensitivities or EHS (Electro-Hypersensitivity)
- Highly biocompatible β excellent gum tissue response
- Outstanding aesthetics for front and back teeth
- Long-lasting β often 15β20+ years with proper care
Cerec Crowns
CAD/CAM Technology β Your Crown in One Visit
Dr. Mehta uses CEREC for single crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers. Complex cases may still require lab fabrication.
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a revolutionary CAD/CAM technology that allows Dr. Mehta to design, mill, and fit a ceramic crown in a single appointment. No impressions, no temporaries, no second visit.
What this treatment includes:
- Digital scanning β no messy impression material
- Computer-aided design (CAD) on-screen before milling
- In-clinic milling of a solid ceramic crown in ~15 minutes
- Cemented and polished β same day
- Precise fit using 3D scanning technology
- 100% ceramic β metal-free by design
- Ideal for patients who cannot attend multiple appointments
Ceramic Implants
Zirconia & Ceramic Implants β No Titanium, No Metal
Ceramic implants are suitable for most patients. Pre-implant evaluation and bone density assessment are always performed.
Conventional titanium implants, while effective, introduce metal into the body permanently. For patients who are sensitive to metals, concerned about galvanic currents, or simply prefer a completely biological approach, Dr. Mehta offers zirconia ceramic implants β a 100% metal-free alternative with excellent clinical outcomes.
What this treatment includes:
- 100% metal-free β zirconia ceramic material
- Excellent osseointegration (bone bonding) rates
- No galvanic interference with other dental restorations
- No metal ion leaching into surrounding tissues
- Ideal for patients with metal allergies or autoimmune conditions
- Natural white colour β aesthetically superior in the gum zone
- One-piece and two-piece options available
Tooth Regeneration Therapies for Root Canal Treated Teeth
Revitalising Dead Teeth with Biological Protocols
This is a nuanced area and treatment decisions are always made on a case-by-case basis following thorough clinical evaluation.
Conventional root canal treatment removes the tooth's nerve and blood supply, leaving a 'dead' tooth in the jawbone. Emerging biological dentistry research suggests that these teeth can harbour anaerobic bacteria in dentinal tubules, potentially linked to systemic inflammatory conditions. Dr. Mehta offers biological approaches to managing and, where possible, revitalising root canal treated teeth.
What this treatment includes:
- Ozone therapy for disinfection of root canal system
- Biological irrigation protocols (ozonated water)
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) regenerative support
- Nutritional and supplementation support for remineralisation
- Assessment of existing root canal treated teeth for focal infection risk
- Biologics-informed extraction and socket healing for non-salvageable teeth
- Holistic treatment planning post-extraction
Ozone Therapy
Nature's Antibiotic β Powerful, Safe, Residue-Free
Ozone therapy is used as an adjunct to clinical treatment β not a standalone cure. Dr. Mehta will advise on suitability during your consultation.
Medical-grade ozone (Oβ) is one of the most potent antimicrobial agents available in biological dentistry. Unlike antibiotics, ozone eliminates bacteria, viruses, and fungi without creating resistance and leaves no harmful residue. Dr. Mehta integrates ozone therapy across a wide range of treatments for maximum biological benefit.
What this treatment includes:
- Cavity sterilisation β killing decay bacteria without drilling in early-stage caries
- Gum disease treatment β ozonated water irrigation for deep pocket disinfection
- Root canal disinfection β replacing harsh chemical irrigants
- Post-extraction socket healing β accelerated and infection-free
- Oral ulcer and aphthous sore management
- Safe for children, pregnant patients, and the immunocompromised
- Zero chemical residue β completely biocompatible
Oral Detox
Systematic Elimination of Oral Toxins and Biofilm
Oral Detox is a personalised programme. Duration and protocols depend on each patient's clinical presentation and health goals.
The mouth is one of the most biodiverse microbial environments in the human body. When harmful bacteria, heavy metals, and chronic inflammation are left unaddressed, the toxic load can burden the entire system. Dr. Mehta's Oral Detox programme is a structured protocol designed to systematically reduce this load β combining clinical treatment with nutritional support and Ayurvedic adjuncts.
What this treatment includes:
- Oral microbiome assessment and harmful biofilm identification
- Ozonated oil pulling and irrigation protocols
- Heavy metal chelation guidance (pre- and post-amalgam removal)
- Gum tissue detox β ozone and laser-assisted deep cleaning
- Dietary recommendations to support oral and systemic detox
- Remineralisation and alkalisation support
- Herbal and Ayurvedic rinse protocols
Airway Focus Therapy
Dentistry's Role in Optimising Your Airway
Airway Focus Therapy is an integrative programme. Dr. Mehta collaborates with ENT specialists, myofunctional therapists, and sleep medicine practitioners for complex cases.
The jaw structure, tongue posture, and dental arch shape profoundly influence airway volume β and therefore breathing quality, sleep, and even cognitive function. Dr. Mehta takes an airway-focused approach to dental treatment, identifying structural patterns that may contribute to mouth breathing, snoring, and disrupted sleep.
What this treatment includes:
- Airway assessment and nasal breathing evaluation
- Tongue posture and myofunctional awareness coaching
- Dental arch analysis β width, height, and airway correlation
- Airway-positive night appliances vs. conventional nightguards
- Jaw positioning to decompress the airway during sleep
- Referral to ENT or sleep medicine specialists when indicated
- Structural causes of TMJ dysfunction linked to airway compromise
Biological Root Canal Alternates
Safer Alternatives for Infected and Compromised Teeth
Not every tooth is a candidate for alternatives to conventional root canal treatment. Dr. Mehta provides an honest, evidence-informed assessment for each patient.
Conventional root canal treatment removes the tooth's living tissue and seals it β retaining a non-vital tooth in the jaw. Biological dentistry questions the long-term systemic implications of this approach. Dr. Mehta offers carefully considered alternatives for suitable cases, prioritising tooth vitality, systemic safety, and biological compatibility.
What this treatment includes:
- Ozone sterilisation as primary intervention for deep decay before pulp exposure
- Biological direct and indirect pulp capping β preserving tooth vitality
- PRP-assisted socket healing following biological extraction
- Ceramic (zirconia) implants as 100% metal-free tooth replacement
- Focal infection assessment protocol for existing root canal treated teeth
- Nutritional and remineralisation support for borderline cases
- Honest case-by-case evaluation β no blanket anti-root-canal dogma
Biocompatible Non-Toxic Fillings
No Mercury. No BPA. No Heavy Metals. Ever.
Patients with known material sensitivities are encouraged to discuss biocompatibility testing prior to treatment.
Every filling placed in your mouth is a material that will reside in your body β sometimes for decades. Dr. Mehta's practice is built on a non-negotiable standard: no amalgam, no BPA-containing composites, no heavy metals in any form. Every restorative material is selected and verified for biocompatibility, longevity, and aesthetic excellence.
What this treatment includes:
- Full biocompatibility documentation provided on all materials
- BPA-free composite resins only β no conventional composites with bisphenol derivatives
- Ceramic and porcelain inlays for larger restorations
- Glass ionomer for specific clinical applications (fluoride-free options available)
- Biocompatibility testing available on patient request
- Mercury-free environment β no amalgam has ever been placed or stored on-site
- Material safety data sheets available for review
Ayurvedic Dentistry
Integrating 5,000 Years of Healing Wisdom into Oral Health
Ayurvedic approaches are used as evidence-informed adjuncts to clinical dentistry β not as replacements for clinical treatment.
India's ancient Ayurvedic system offers profound insights into oral health that align remarkably with modern biological dentistry. Dr. Mehta integrates Ayurvedic oral care principles into his practice β from oil pulling (Kavala and Gandusha) to herbal rinses, neem applications, and dosha-aware nutritional guidance β to complement clinical treatment with time-tested wisdom.
What this treatment includes:
- Oil pulling (Kavala) with sesame or coconut oil β oral detox and microbiome support

Jaw (TMJ) Balancing
Resolving TMJ Dysfunction from a Biological Perspective
TMJ is a complex, multifactorial condition. Dr. Mehta takes a team-based approach, collaborating with physiotherapists and specialists for complex cases.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most complex joints in the body β and its dysfunction can cause jaw pain, chronic headaches, tinnitus, neck stiffness, and postural changes. Dr. Mehta approaches TMJ from a whole-body perspective, recognising that bite imbalances can affect the entire musculoskeletal system and even airway function.
What this treatment includes:
- Comprehensive TMJ assessment β joint, muscle, and bite analysis
- Custom occlusal splint (nightguard) therapy for jaw decompression
- Airway-positive splint design for sleep-related TMJ bruxism
- Biological jaw decompression and repositioning protocols
- Anti-inflammatory nutritional and supplementation guidance
- Postural and cervical spine referral when TMJ has a musculoskeletal component
- Botox for TMJ muscle spasm β as adjunct therapy where appropriate
