Biological & Holistic Dental Services in Red Bank, NJ
Biological and Holistic Dentistry with Dr. Glenn MacFarlane
While daily dental care and routine visits can protect your smile from tooth decay and periodontal disease, conventional dentistry does not always address the impact of dental materials on your overall health. Many materials traditionally used in dentistry can deposit toxins in the body if they are rejected by your immune system. Dr. Glenn MacFarlane is committed to reducing and preventing dental toxicity by testing all materials before they are placed in your mouth, and by offering a full range of holistic dental products and services to patients in Red Bank and throughout Monmouth County.
What it is
Holistic dentistry considers your whole-body health when providing dental care, using biocompatible materials and toxin-free products that are safe for your entire biological system.
Who it's for
Patients who want dental care that avoids mercury, metals, and other potentially harmful materials, as well as anyone seeking a healthier, more natural approach to oral health.
Our approach
Dr. MacFarlane tests all dental materials for biocompatibility before placing them, and offers a full range of metal-free, mercury-safe services and natural take-home products.

Why Are Silver Amalgam Fillings a Concern?
Silver amalgam fillings contain approximately 50% mercury. Mercury is toxic to the human body and can contribute to mercury toxicity over time. Additionally, these fillings tend to expand and contract with temperature changes, which can leave the inner canals of the teeth susceptible to bacteria entering inside and causing infection. At our practice, we use only biocompatible, mercury-free, BPA-free alternatives for all restorations.
