If you have a history of allergies or material sensitivities and you're facing a procedure that involves new dental materials — like a crown, filling, or implant — it's worth raising before treatment begins. Dr. Bentler or Dr. Simmons can use testing results, alongside your health history, to help guide which materials are right for you.
Testing is typically done through an outside lab, like BioComp Laboratories, using a simple blood sample that checks your reaction to a range of common dental materials. Dr. Bentler or Dr. Simmons reviews the results with you, alongside your health history, to help guide material choices.
Results usually take a couple of weeks, and no test offers a complete guarantee — it's one input among several used to plan your care thoughtfully. If you'd like to discuss whether testing makes sense for your situation, call The Holistic Dental Center at (509) 325-2051.
