Holistic / Biological Dentistry
Holistic, or biological, dentistry is a whole-body approach to dental care that recognizes the connection between oral health and overall wellness. Serving patients in Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Paradise Valley, our biological dental practice focuses on treating the mouth in a way that supports long-term systemic health.
​
Rather than treating teeth in isolation, biological dentistry considers how dental materials, chronic inflammation, infections, and bite function may influence the rest of the body. A holistic dentist prioritizes biocompatible materials, conservative treatment techniques, and advanced technologies designed to minimize toxicity and preserve natural tooth structure.
​
Our approach may include mercury-safe amalgam removal, metal-free restorations, ozone therapy, and minimally invasive restorative dentistry. Every treatment plan is personalized, with careful attention to safety, longevity, and how dental care interacts with each patient’s overall health goals.
