About Alex Bell Dental
Alex Bell Dental is a general dental practice at 900 East Alex Bell Road in Centerville, Ohio, serving the Dayton–Centerville area. Its stated orientation is biological dentistry: the office treats oral health as linked to general health, and holds that the materials placed in a mouth and the techniques used to treat teeth can affect the rest of the body. It states a no-mercury policy, restoring teeth with composite resin selected for biocompatibility rather than amalgam, and says it uses specific protocols to protect patients when existing mercury fillings are removed. Minimally invasive work is stated as the preference over drilling where possible, with ozone therapy and laser dentistry named among the methods used, alongside preventive care, cosmetic restorations including veneers, crowns, dentures, implants, extractions, and treatment of gum disease. Sedation, including laughing gas and intravenous sedation, is offered to patients with dental anxiety.

Common Questions
Does Alex Bell Dental place amalgam fillings?
No. The practice states a no-mercury policy and restores cavities with composite resin it describes as biocompatible, rather than amalgam, which it characterises as containing high mercury content that can leak into the bloodstream and lungs. It notes that composite can be shaded to match the surrounding tooth structure.
What does the practice do differently when removing an existing mercury filling?
The office states that it uses specific protocols to protect patient health when it removes mercury fillings. Its stated reasoning is the oral-systemic one it works from: that the materials placed in a mouth and the techniques used to treat teeth can affect the rest of the body, and that it also considers connections between gum disease, diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
How does this office approach drilling and minimally invasive treatment?
It states a preference for conservative treatment and for avoiding drills where it can, naming ozone therapy and lasers as the minimally invasive alternatives it uses, and says it has invested in laser dentistry. Its stated aim is to treat the root cause of a problem and to work with materials it describes as safe and biocompatible.
What position does the practice take on fluoride?
The practice states that it does not recommend fluoridated toothpaste or oral rinses, and instead recommends natural toothpaste with remineralisation properties together with a diligent home care routine intended to prevent cavities before they form. This is the office's own stated position on materials it will and will not recommend.
Is sedation available for patients who are anxious about dental treatment?
Yes. The practice states that it is especially sensitive to patients with anxiety or fear about dental visits and offers several methods of sedation dentistry, including laughing gas and intravenous sedation. It also states that it uses digital radiographs, intra-oral cameras and laser dentistry, and rarely refers patients out for specialty treatment.
Where does the office's stated position on dental mercury come from?
Its homepage presents the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology's film on dental mercury, with a full transcript. That film sets out the environmental and occupational pathways by which mercury from amalgam restorations reaches the atmosphere, soil and wastewater, and argues that discontinuing use of the material is the first step in reducing that release.
