Holistic dentistry embraces a philosophy that your physical, emotional, and oral health are all closely interconnected. Changes or infections in your mouth can have a direct impact on how you feel about yourself and on how you feel physically. In that same manner, health conditions and diseases can significantly affect your oral health. Holistic dentistry addresses you as a total person not just the condition of your teeth and gums. Holistic dentists also evaluate the materials that are used and the long-term impact that they may have.
Biological dentistry, in combination with the holistic approach, emphasizes mercury-safe dentistry and the biocompatibility of materials used in dental procedures.

Mainly, the focus is on the whole person, using the best, safest materials and procedures, as well as safely removing harmful toxins or materials. That’s why our practice is mercury-safe and mercury-free. When removing traditional silver amalgam, or mercury fillings, we follow the standards set forth by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.
