In 2011, I went to Dr. Devening to have all of my mercury amalgams replaced. I believe I had around 15 in all. I grew up in near poverty in the 70s before fluoridated water programs were widespread.
As an adult with a near 20-year history of Lupus, I wanted those toxic-waste fillings OUT of my mouth. I received an unexpected amount of money that had been just sitting in the TX state treasury, and decided to use it for their removal. The gift of health!
It has been 7 years since that procedure and my current dentist says my dental work was exquisitely done as observed via X-rays and inspection, and continues to serve me very, very well.
I paid extra to get a special test at the time, so that my new replacement filling material was biologically compatible and affordable. I keep that very detailed test data to this day, for it contains info. about my bio. compatibility to the medical materials used in the making of other medical equipment/ prosthetics, e.g., hip and knee replacements, etc. At least, it will be a starting point to avoid possible rejection or allergic reaction.
Thank you for your holistic dentistry expertise, precision, and professionalism, Dr. Devening. I may never return to Lexington, Virginia, as I was a PhD student at the time doing the long drive in from Virginia Tech, but I never regretted choosing your practice over others, thanks to the beautifully scenic route to your office and to the excellent quality of service I received under your care. read more
