Holistic or biological dentistry focuses on the connection between oral health and overall health. It emphasizes natural and minimally invasive treatments, the use of biocompatible materials, and a whole-body approach to dental care. Holistic dentists aim to create a healthy balance of physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness for every patient.
Holistic dentists use mercury-free and non-toxic materials for tooth fillings to minimize exposure to harmful substances. These biocompatible materials are carefully chosen to be safe and promote overall health. Standard options include composite resins or ceramic-based fillings.
While both holistic and regular dentists are professionally trained to provide dental care, holistic dentistry extends beyond standard treatments to consider the entire body’s health.
Key differences include:
Many holistic dental treatments are covered by many insurance plans, especially if they involve routine care such as dental cleanings, checkups, and tooth fillings. However, alternative treatments such as ozone therapy and ceramic implants may not be fully covered, so it is important to check with your insurance provider. We recommend discussing your policy with your provider and our office team at SmileHaven Dental Center to get the most accurate information.
Ozone dental treatment uses medical-grade ozone gas or water to eliminate mouth bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This minimally invasive and non-toxic therapy promotes natural healing and helps treat conditions such as tooth decay, gum disease, root canal infections, and more.
Ceramic and titanium implants both have their benefits. However, holistic dentistry often prefers ceramic implants as a metal-free alternative to traditional dental implants.
SmileHaven Dental Center offers ceramic dental implants in La Mesa, San Diego, to ensure our patients receive top material for their overall health and well-being.
