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 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:
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.
Our practice is dedicated to helping our patients reach optimal health by viewing their mouth as a gateway to the body. The same blood that circulates throughout your body also reaches your mouth. Research shows that diseased gums are associated with heart problems, strokes, lung problems, osteoporosis, and some cancers. Our biological dentists believe that more connections to other diseases will be discovered in the future.
