About Lawrence Dental Solutions

Lawrence Dental Solutions is a family-run dental practice at 545 Columbia Drive in Lawrence, Kansas, where a biological approach sets the terms of restorative treatment. The practice describes a holistic mindset that considers the whole person in every aspect of care, selecting biocompatible materials and techniques intended to minimize harmful effects on the body.

Amalgam removal is treated as a containment procedure rather than simple excavation of old filling material. The practice follows a defined removal protocol to limit mercury exposure for the patient and the clinical team, and incorporates a mercury separator so that material washed away during the procedure does not enter the water system. Where material tolerance is in question, a Clifford Materials Reactivity Test informs which replacement materials are selected. Clients come from Lawrence and from surrounding areas of the county.

Common Questions

How does Lawrence Dental Solutions remove existing amalgam fillings?

Removal follows a defined protocol intended to limit mercury exposure for the patient as well as the dentist and staff, and the practice incorporates a mercury separator so removed filling material is not carried into the water system. Replacement restorations are mercury-free: composite resin or porcelain fillings, or metal-free inlays and onlays milled with CEREC technology in a single visit.

How is the choice of restorative material decided?

The practice works to match materials to the systemic conditions of each patient, conducting a Clifford Materials Reactivity Test for greater insight into the available options. Fillings used are free of mercury, and most cases are restored with tooth-colored composite resin or porcelain rather than metal.

What happens at a first visit here?

New patients are received for a one-on-one consultation with the doctor, in which patient and doctor discuss specific needs and concerns before treatment is determined. The practice states that appointment times are carefully scheduled so each patient is seen on time and given undivided attention, and that patients are included in deciding how to proceed.

Why does this office call the people it treats clients rather than patients?

The distinction is deliberate and the practice explains it directly. It characterizes the conventional model as one in which the patient depends on the doctor for health care decisions and results, and states that it works instead toward an interdependent relationship: identifying the client's own goals and working with them toward those goals rather than treating teeth, gums and jaw joints alone.
