We&#8217;ll start with the fillings because that is easy. You simply need to <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-mercury-free-dentist.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"see a mercury-free dentist (opens in a new tab)\">see a mercury-free dentist<\/a>.

Traditional dental implants are made from titanium which is extremely biocompatible. They&#8217;re used in many body replacements, including for hips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are still concerned you might have an allergy to it, you can ask your doctor to run an allergy test.  That is fairly simple. If it turns out you are allergic, there is still a way for you to <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-dental-implants.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"get a dental implant (opens in a new tab)\">get a dental implant<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They now make zirconia implants. These are metal free. The zirconia is just as strong as the titanium and is nicknamed ceramic steel. The reason dentists typically use the titanium is it has been in use longer and has a proven track record. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most dentists are good at working around a patient&#8217;s limitations. For instance, there are anxious patients who need either extra patience and explanations or what&#8217;s happening or their anxiety is so strong they need some form of dental sedation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dentist isn&#8217;t willing to work with you, I&#8217;d suggest finding a better caregiver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"New Orleans Dentist (opens in a new tab)\">New Orleans Dentist<\/a> Dr. Duane Delaune.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a severe allergy to cobalt, nickel, and mercury.
