What is Integrative Dentistry?

 

Integrative Dentistry is a holistic approach to oral healthcare that combines traditional dental practices with complementary and alternative therapies to address a patient’s overall well-being.

Oral health, your body, nutrition, and lifestyle are all connected. Supporting this connection is the key to overall health and vitality.

Benefits to Treatment:

Integrative dentistry offers several benefits to patients including:

  • Whole-Person Care: Integrative dentistry takes into account the interconnectedness of oral health and overall well-being, providing a more comprehensive and holistic approach to healthcare.
  • Preventive Focus: Integrative dentistry places a strong emphasis on preventive care, hindering more serious dental problems from developing, leading to better long-term oral health.
  • Reduced Use of Harmful Materials: We prioritize the use of biocompatible and non-toxic materials for dental procedures, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or other adverse effects associated with traditional dental materials.
  • Minimally Invasive Techniques: With minimally invasive treatments, we are able to preserve more of the patient’s natural tooth structure and reduce the need for extensive dental work.
  • Customized Treatment Plans: We work closely with patients to create personalized treatment plans that consider the patient’s unique needs, preferences, finances, and overall health goals.
  • Collaborative Care: We collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as nutritionists, chiropractors, or naturopaths, to address the underlying causes of dental issues and promote overall wellness.
  • Patient Education: We prioritize patient education, empowering individuals to take an active role in their oral health and make informed decisions about their dental care.
  • Emphasis on Nutrition: We recognize the impact of diet on oral health and may provide nutritional guidance [link to nutrition page] to support healing and prevent dental issues.
  • Patient-Centered Approach: We take the time to understand a patient’s unique needs and concerns all while involving them in the decision-making process.
  • Improved Overall Health: By addressing systemic factors and focusing on prevention, we contribute to improved overall health, not just oral health.
