Metals in the Mouth – When Dental Restorations Become a Health Burden

Dear Patients,

In modern dentistry, the connection between metals in the mouth and possible health consequences is increasingly coming into focus. Many traditional dental restorations, such as fillings, crowns and bridges, still contain various metals and alloys. These can react chemically in the moist environment of the oral cavity, releasing metal ions that enter the body via the mucous membrane. There, they can influence processes in the immune system.

Metals in the mouth – an underestimated risk

Metals in the mouth – an underestimated risk

Metals such as mercury, nickel, cobalt, chromium, copper, palladium, platinum and aluminum can have toxic effects.
They are not permanently stable even in alloys. Corrosion and oxidation can cause even the smallest amounts to enter the body.

Possible consequences:

  • Cell damage:
    Metal ions can alter cell surfaces and trigger abnormal immune responses.
  • Immune reactions and allergies:
    Chronic inflammation or hypersensitivity often develops gradually.
  • Electrosensitivity and oral currents:
    Different metals can create galvanic currents, accelerating corrosion and promoting symptoms such as headaches,
    fatigue or sleep disturbances.

Metal removal –  gentle and safe

At Alpstein Clinic in Gais, holistic and biological dentistry is at the core of our philosophy. We follow a completely metal-free approach.
When removal is medically advisable, it is carried out under the highest safety standards – gently, safely and biologically compatible.

  • Painless treatment under local anesthesia
  • Rubber dam and special suction systems
  • Protective masks, oxygen supply and clean-up systems
  • Supportive detoxification with natural chelating agents

The subsequent elimination of metal residues from the body follows the proven Alpstein Detox Protocol
and is individually tailored to your needs.

Why is detoxification  so important?

Metal exposure may contribute to the development or worsening of chronic conditions such as:

  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Neurological disorders
  • Skin problems (dermatoses)
  • Liver, kidney and digestive disorders

Therefore, removing metals from the mouth is only the first step.
It is equally essential to systematically relieve and support the entire body.

Zweite StufeAusleiten und Entlasten

Nun konzentrieren wir uns auf ein ausgeglichenes inneres Milieu des Körpers und schaffen damit die Basis für einen Heilungserfolg. Wichtige Instrumente sind dabei die Zahnsanierung, die Darmsanierung oder die Entgiftung der Organe. In dieser Phase setzen wir die Blut-Plasma-Doppelmembran-Filtration (INUSpherese®) und eine ganzheitliche Schmerztherapie ein und reduzieren schrittweise nebenwirkungsreiche Medikamente der konventionellen Medizin.

In order to bring body, mind and soul back into harmony, you need to accept and appreciate yourself. At the Alpstein Clinic, we offer you an ideal environment in which you can find yourself and recharge your batteries.

Stage threeRegenerate and stimulate

In this step, we promote recovery and stimulate the immune system: We stimulate the humoral and cellular defenses with a wide range of non-specific and specific immune stimulants, immune-boosting measures such as hyperthermia, infusions, ozone therapy and colon hydrotherapy. The stimulation and vitalization of all organs and physical structures are components of our holistic concept.

Step twoDetox and relieve

We now concentrate on creating a balanced internal environment in the body, thereby creating the basis for successful healing. Important instruments here are dental cleansing, intestinal cleansing and detoxification of the organs. In this phase, we use blood plasma double membrane filtration (INUSpheresis® ) and holistic pain therapy and gradually reduce the use of conventional medicines that have many side effects.

Stage oneAnalyse causes

In the first step, we work with you to get to the bottom of the possible causes of your complaints. We examine possible interference fields, toxic loads, environmental factors, deficiencies, malnutrition and stress factors. This is followed by a comprehensive physical and dental examination. This is followed by further diagnostic measures such as blood, stool, saliva and urine tests, thermography and other tools.
