The advantages of holistic dentistry are that we use biocompatible materials and we are looking at less toxic materials that are not harmful to the body. We also use minimally invasive techniques, trying to keep as much of the natural tooth structure as possible. Additionally, we have alternative therapies such as ozone therapy to help kill off the bacteria deep inside the cavity and in gum disease.

Holistic dentistry differs from traditional dentistry in which we take some extra steps to help clean up the infections that we find in the mouth, such as using ozone gas and ozone water underneath the cavities once we clean everything out. We also use ozone gas underneath the gums once we are treating gum infections, and we are also safely removing the mercury fillings in a manner in which it does not become toxic for the patient.

The materials that are avoided in holistic dentistry are anything that contains BPA, and we are avoiding mercury that can become very toxic and make you sick.

The effectiveness of the holistic approach compared to traditional approaches is that, number one, we are looking at longevity because we are cleaning everything at a cellular level. We are able to maintain the restorations for a longer period of time. We are able to effectively clean up any kind of gum infections with the ozone therapy that we're using, and they're just very safe.
