Cracked Tooth? Biocompatible Restoration Options Now Offered in New Jersey

A cracked tooth isn’t just uncomfortable, it can also compromise your overall health if left untreated. For patients in New Jersey, traditional dental restorations often rely on materials like amalgam or non-biocompatible composites, which may not align with a holistic approach to care. Fortunately, new biocompatible restoration options are now available, offering patients safer and more natural solutions that repair teeth without introducing harmful substances into the body.

At the Institute of Systemic Dentistry in Berkeley Heights, NJ, we specialize in providing dental treatments that support both oral and whole-body health. Here’s what you need to know if you’ve cracked a tooth and want a restoration option that’s strong, safe, and biocompatible.

Why Biocompatibility Matters in Dentistry

Conventional restorations often prioritize function but overlook the body’s response to certain materials. Some patients experience sensitivity, inflammation, or systemic reactions to metals and synthetic compounds used in traditional fillings or crowns.

Biocompatible dentistry ensures the materials used to restore your teeth are:

Non-toxic and free of mercury, BPA, and other harmful chemicals
Durable enough to withstand daily chewing and grinding
Natural-looking, blending seamlessly with your existing teeth
Supportive of overall health, minimizing inflammation or allergic responses

Options for Biocompatible Tooth Repair

1. Composite Resin Fillings

Made from BPA-free, biocompatible resins, these restorations are ideal for repairing small cracks or fractures. They bond directly to the tooth structure and maintain a natural appearance.

2. Ceramic and Porcelain Crowns

For larger cracks or more extensive damage, ceramic or porcelain crowns offer superior strength and aesthetics. Unlike metal-based crowns, they contain no alloys that could irritate the body.

3. Onlays and Inlays

For patients who need more than a filling but less than a full crown, ceramic onlays and inlays are a conservative, biocompatible solution that preserve as much natural tooth as possible.

4. Ozone Therapy (Supportive Treatment)

In addition to restorative materials, ozone therapy can be used to disinfect and promote healing in cracked teeth before placing the final restoration.

Cracked teeth don’t heal on their own—and delaying treatment can lead to bigger problems like infections or tooth loss. The good news is that New Jersey patients now have access to biocompatible dental restorations that repair teeth safely and effectively, without compromising overall health.

At The Center of Systemic Dentistry, we’re committed to providing holistic dental care that prioritizes your well-being. Whether you need a simple filling or a full ceramic crown, our solutions are designed to restore both your smile and your confidence.
