What Is Biological, Natural & Holistic Dentistry
There is no dental school that teaches "holistic dentistry". You could substitute the words biological, integrative, whole person, wellness, and longevity, and they could all fit. To us, being a holistic dentist means taking a broader perspective, and knowing your patient and what they want.
It means working with people who share a common mission and purpose. Recognizing that what works for one person might not work for the next. Listening to what they have to say and honoring it. Striving to love people and help them heal via dentistry.
Being a holistic dentist and a natural dentist also involves avoiding drugs and surgery when possible, and caring for the teeth and tissue of the mouth as if they were your own. These principles have taught us to work slower but more effectively, preserving and protecting what nature has given the patient. We strive to do the least invasive, longest acting, and least toxic treatments that we possibly can, doing so with love and kindness. To us, this is holistic dentistry.
Being Minimally Invasive
Being minimally invasive is a philosophy of preserving and protecting the teeth and gums by doing the least invasive procedure that will solve the problem. Some examples include:
- We use magnification and halogen lighting to improve vision so that only the diseased part of the tooth is removed.
- We use LASER to reduce the need for anesthetic, speed up healing time, and reduce micro fractures in the tooth.
- We use ozone therapy to disinfect treated areas and increase blood flow for faster healing.
- A slow drilling technique is used to reduce nerve inflammation, leading to fewer root canals and less pain medication.
- We use strong and long-lasting biocompatible materials to minimize repeat treatments and preserve your natural teeth.
- Non-surgical periodontal therapy using our laser is just as effective as periodontal surgery.
Mercury and Metal-Free Dentistry
Our holistic dentists use mercury and metal-free tooth-colored restorations to restore cavities and replace worn-out fillings, utilizing all-ceramic fillings, onlays, inlays, crowns, bridges, and implants.
We eliminate crowns that contain mercury-based amalgam and nickel. Our practice uses a combination of a mercury vapor filter, HEPA filters, rubber dams, and high-speed suction to reduce exposure to mercury vapor and other chemicals during the removal process.
