When I had all my amalgams restored, it included crowns and inlays.

I used a company in Colorado, Scientific Health Solutions, that does

a serum biocompatibility test on your blood sample, which results in

a very comprehensive report of least reactive substances. My

dentist used that report to choose materials and I no longer have

any type metal in my mouth. So yes, there are non-metal choices.

Here's a description of the report followed by the link to the

company.

The report, which is over 30 pages in length, lists in categories

of " Highly Reactive, " " Moderately Reactive, " and " Least Reactive "

over 1,000 different dental products, including composite fillings,

crown materials, bridge materials, cements, denture materials, and

other materials. Nearly all reports have some materials in

the " Least Reactive " categories from which the dentist may choose.

It is important to emphasize that the utilization of a dental

material from a " Least Reactive " category cannot be guaranteed to be

a completely safe choice. As with all other medical therapies and

interventions, nothing can be given unqualified support or

recommendation. However, years of clinical experience with this

testing has consistently shown such a choice to be vastly superior

and preferable over random choice or over the choice of any product

from a " Highly Reactive " category.
