Holistic Materials in Pediatric Dentistry

At Shine Pediatric Dental Co., we take a biocompatible and biomimetic approach to children’s dental care. That means we carefully select restorative and pulp therapy materials that are not only safe and durable, but also work in harmony with the body’s natural healing systems.

Why Biocompatibility Matters

Children’s developing bodies are uniquely sensitive. Traditional dental materials often contain ingredients such as Bis-GMA, BPA, or other synthetic monomers that may not be ideal for long-term health. Our philosophy is to minimize exposure to these substances by choosing restorative materials that are:
  • Non-toxic to living tissues
  • Highly biocompatible (work with the body, not against it)
  • Biomimetic (mimic natural tooth structure and function)
  • Durable and clinically proven

Examples of Our Holistic Materials

Ceramic Fillings – Admira Fusion®
  • The world’s first purely ceramic-based restorative material (99% ceramic).
  • Contains no Bis-GMA, no BPA, and no common resin monomers.
  • Biocompatible, strong, and highly aesthetic with minimal shrinkage.
Biocompatible Pulp Therapy – Biodentine®
  • A mineral-based, monomer-free material that protects and heals the dental pulp.
  • Creates an alkaline, bioactive environment to encourage natural tooth repair.
  • Less inflammatory than older pulp materials, while maintaining pulp vitality.
  • No staining or discoloration — a safe, tooth-friendly solution.

Our Holistic Philosophy

By integrating these advanced materials, we support:
  • Healthier outcomes with less inflammation and sensitivity
  • Safer restorations without unnecessary chemicals
  • Long-term success by working with biology, not against it
Because your child deserves dentistry that protects not just their smile, but their whole-body health.

Biocompatible Pulp Therapy with Biodentine®

At Shine Pediatric Dental Co., we believe that the best dental materials should work with the body—not against it. That’s why we use Biodentine®, a next-generation, bioactive dentin substitute designed to protect and heal the living dental pulp.

Unlike traditional pulp capping or base materials, Biodentine® is made from high-purity, monomer-free mineral ingredients that are both biocompatible and non-toxic to delicate pulp cells. Its unique composition creates an alkaline, healing environment that encourages the pulp’s natural ability to repair itself. Clinical research shows that Biodentine® reduces inflammation, helps regulate the balance between tissue inflammation and repair, and even promotes the transformation of immune cells toward a more healing-focused state.

By supporting the pulp’s natural vitality and reducing post-treatment sensitivity, Biodentine® allows us to preserve more of your child’s healthy tooth structure. It also avoids the concerns associated with traditional resin-based or staining materials, offering a clean, safe, and biomimetic approach to vital pulp therapy.

In simple terms—Biodentine® helps the tooth heal itself, while protecting it for the long run.
