Holistic Dentistry

Holistic dental care and biocompatible dentistry are both approaches to oral health that consider a patient’s entire well-being rather than just focusing on their teeth. These specific methods prioritize using natural and non-toxic materials in dental treatments, as well as considering the connection between oral health and overall physical and emotional health.

At the office of Dr. Talebi, she believes in treating the whole person, not just their individual teeth. This means taking into account a patient’s diet, lifestyle habits, and overall health when creating a treatment plan.

Holistic dental care recognizes that the mouth is an integral part of the body and that any issues or imbalances within the mouth can affect other parts of the body. For example, gum disease has been linked to systemic health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.

Biocompatible dentistry focuses on using materials that are in harmony with the body and the most compatible with the natural tooth structure. This includes using materials such as ceramic, glass, and composite resin, which offer a more natural option for restoring damaged tooth structure. 

Overall, holistic dental care emphasizes preventive care rather than just treating existing issues. By promoting effective oral hygiene habits and understanding the link between oral health and overall well-being, patients can avoid more invasive dental procedures.

Fluoride

We also offer a fluoride alternative for preventative oral hygiene. Nano-hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral in your teeth and bones and a derivative of calcium phosphate.

As Erlind Pepla’s research showed; “With regard to restorative and preventive fields, nano-hydroxyapatite has remarkable remineralizing effects on initial lesions of enamel, certainly higher than traditional fluorides used until now for this purpose. ” These fluoride-free toothpastes offer a fluoride free solution to remineralize your teeth where it has been damaged by decay..

Sustainability

We have incorporated clean equipment like amalgam separators to remove toxic metals safely. Air filters in each room continuously eliminate unwanted aerosol particles. We’ve also implemented environmentally friendly sterilization systems like using sterilizable plastics rather than disposable ones, recycling the majority of the office waste by prioritizing recyclable materials, and avoiding the use of mercury in fillings, which has been shown to negatively impact overall health.
