Holistic Dentistry
Welcome to Iconic Smiles, where we embrace a unique and comprehensive approach to dental health through holistic dentistry. Under the expert care of Dr. Daniel Avezoff, our practice is proud to offer a range of services that prioritize not just your oral health, but your overall well-being too.
What Is Holistic Dentistry?
Holistic dentistry, sometimes referred to as biological dentistry, is an approach that considers the patient’s entire state of physical and emotional health. It’s a blend of both modern science and natural healing. This method focuses on using biocompatible materials, and it aims to minimize the impact of dental treatments on the body as a whole.
Holistic Dentistry vs Traditional Dentistry
The primary difference between holistic and traditional dentistry lies in the approach:
- Material Use: Holistic dentistry avoids the use of potentially toxic materials like mercury in amalgam fillings.
- Overall Health Focus: This approach considers dental health as a part of your overall health and well-being.
- Treatment Methods: It includes a broader range of treatments, focusing on natural and less invasive methods.
Are you interested in trying out holistic dentistry? Give us a call to see how we can implement it in your next dental visit. You can always return to traditional dentistry if you feel it’s not right for you.
Holistic Dentistry Options
Our holistic dental care includes:
- Mercury Amalgam Removal: Replacing old mercury fillings with safer, more biocompatible materials. Our biocompatible replacements blend in with your teeth, effectively hiding your filling and giving a more natural look.
- Fluoride-Free Options: Providing alternatives to traditional fluoride treatments. This can be a great help to our patients who may have sensitivities or allergies to fluoride.
- Natural Dentistry Practices: Focusing on preventative care and natural treatments to reduce overexposure and long-term wellness.
If you’re hesitant about trying our biocompatible options, we recommend biocompatibility testing to detect what chemical groups you may be sensitive to. We can easily alter your dental treatments to provide the safest, most comfortable care.
