Holistic Dentistry at Presidio Dentist
Holistic dentistry is an emerging approach to oral care that focuses on a person’s well-being rather than just treating individual symptoms. We offer a natural dental care philosophy that promotes overall health through safe and effective dental treatments. Presidio Dentist is your trusted destination if you’re looking for a holistic dentist who prioritizes natural healing and uses biocompatible materials.
What Is Holistic Dentistry?
In contrast to traditional dentistry, which considers only teeth and gums, the holistic dental approach to oral health is all about a full reflection of health, or how the mouth is related to the body and mind.
Why Choose Presidio Dentist for Holistic Dental Care?
When finding a holistic dentist, choosing a practice that uses the best materials, techniques, and technologies to support your oral and general health is essential. Presidio Dentist offers holistic dental services that cater to your unique needs, providing a safe, effective, and natural approach to oral care.
Mercury-Free and Biocompatible Materials
We have always been aware of the possible dangers of mercury found in traditional dental fillings. Mercury-free fillings, which were commonly used in past times, release breathable vapors that enter the body entirely and could conceivably cause serious adverse health effects over time. Under our holistic approach, mercury fillings are never used, and we utilize only those materials that are biocompatible and safe for your mouth and body.
- Composite Resins: Tooth-colored fillings are highly aesthetic and free of chemicals such as mercury.
- Ceramic Crowns and Veneers: Built with durable, biocompatible dentistry that is highly functional with a natural look to enhance a smile while maintaining tooth health.
Choosing biocompatible materials ensures that cosmetic dental treatments align with the patient’s end health goal, thus supporting the patient’s welfare at all stages.
Safe Amalgam Removal Techniques
If mercury-free fillings are removed from your teeth, the removal has to be carried out safely and effectively. The Presidio Dentist uses state-of-the-art techniques to safely remove your amalgam fillings without risking mercury vapors or particles entering the air.
Our procedure includes the placement of a rubber dam to protect the tooth being treated, suction devices that collect any particles, and air filtration systems that reduce the presence of toxins. These precautions are placed to keep the removal of mercury fillings as safe as possible for our patients.
Now that your fillings have been safely removed, we will restore your teeth with mercury-free alternatives that are biocompatible and engineered to last longer and support your oral health more naturally.
Personalized Preventive Care Plans
Problems need to be prevented before treatment. Working with the patient, our holistic dentist will develop individualized, risk-based preventive dental care programs to prevent dental problems from occurring.
Our preventive treatment plans are tailored to your requirements and aims. Your lifestyle, diet, health history, and medical background are all considered because they can affect your oral health. We give you the tools and know-how to keep your mouth and body in good health, including personal oral hygiene programs and dietary counseling.
On the other hand, preventive care in holistic dentistry also includes regular screenings for early-stage oral diseases, such as gum disease and oral cancer, to catch them when they are still a problem, not when they have become serious.
Whole-Body Health Integration
We cultivate your health from your teeth, gums, and mouth. Healthy teeth, gums, and mouth will maintain the rest of your body well.
Gum problems may affect systemic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or respiratory problems. Our holistic approach to treatment considers not only teeth but also how teeth might affect an individual’s physical health.
With this in mind, we work alongside other health practitioners to design a healing treatment plan for you that aids your body on its path to healing and well-being. If you are living with any chronic health condition or wish to improve your general health, our team at Presidio Dentist is ready to assist.
