Clifford Testing in Atlanta, GA

At Bloom Holistic Dentistry, your oral health is always considered within the context of your overall wellness. That’s why we offer Clifford Materials Reactivity Testing (CMRT) — a lab-based analysis that helps identify which dental materials are most compatible with your body. If you’ve been searching for “Clifford testing near me” or “biocompatible dentist in Atlanta,” our team provides a science-driven, holistic approach to personalized dental care.

This testing allows us to make informed choices about the materials used in your fillings, crowns, bridges, and other dental work — reducing the risk of inflammation, allergic reactions, and other systemic effects.

Clifford Testing is a specialized blood test that evaluates your immune system’s reactivity to a wide range of dental materials. The test screens for sensitivities to:

• Metals
  
  
• Polymers (plastics)
  
  
• Acrylics
  
  
• Dental cements
  
  
• Composites and bonding agents

By identifying which substances may trigger immune responses, we can tailor your dental treatments with materials that support both oral function and systemic health.

This service is especially beneficial for patients with autoimmune conditions, chemical sensitivities, or those who have experienced unexplained health issues after dental work.

In holistic dentistry, we know that what goes into your mouth can affect your entire body. Clifford Testing helps us:

• Avoid reactive materials – Reducing the chance of immune stress or toxic exposure
  
  
• Support healing – Using materials your body tolerates well can improve recovery after treatments like dental implant restorations or CEREC same-day crowns
  
  
• Create long-term stability – Compatible materials are less likely to cause ongoing irritation or breakdown
  
  
• Complement other testing – Often used alongside biocompatibility testing and saliva testing for a complete health profile

We integrate these results into all phases of your treatment plan, whether you’re replacing old metal fillings, planning SMART-certified mercury removal, or starting cosmetic enhancements.

Your testing experience is straightforward and stress-free:

1. Consultation and health history review – We discuss your concerns, past dental treatments, and any known sensitivities.
   
   
2. Blood draw – A small sample is collected at our office or a partner lab.
   
   
3. Laboratory analysis – The sample is sent to a certified lab for testing against thousands of dental material compounds.
   
   
4. Results review – We receive a detailed report of compatible and incompatible materials.
   
   
5. Personalized treatment plan – We select restoration or treatment materials based on your unique results.

By following this process, we ensure that every restoration — from veneers to dental bridges — is chosen with your long-term wellness in mind.
