Holistic dentistry is an approach to oral care that recognizes the connection between your dental health and overall wellbeing. Also known as biological or integrative dentistry, this philosophy prioritizes biocompatibility, minimally invasive treatments and the reduction of toxins in dental care. Holistic dentists aim to enhance not only your oral health but also your body’s systemic balance and wellness.

Our holistic dental services include:

A Focus on Biocompatibility

Holistic dentistry emphasizes the use of safe, non-toxic materials that are compatible with your body. Traditional dental treatments often involve metals, chemicals and other substances that may contribute to sensitivities or long-term health concerns. Our focus on holistic care means that our dentists and team carefully select materials that support overall health, such as:

  • Mercury-free fillings – Composite or ceramic materials are used instead of traditional amalgam, which contains mercury.
  • BPA-free restorations – Bisphenol A, a chemical found in some dental resins, is avoided due to potential health risks.
  • Metal-free crowns and bridges – Porcelain and zirconia alternatives provide durable, aesthetic solutions without the use of metal alloys.

By choosing biocompatible materials, holistic dentistry ensures that dental restorations do not contribute to unwanted chemical exposure.

Minimally Invasive and Preventive Care

Holistic dental care prioritizes conservative treatments that preserve natural tooth structure and prevent unnecessary procedures. This includes:

  • Ozone therapy – A natural antibacterial treatment that can help manage decay and gum disease without harsh chemicals.
  • Digital X-rays – Providing high-quality imaging with significantly lower radiation exposure than traditional film X-rays.
  • Nutritional counseling – Helping patients understand how diet and lifestyle choices influence oral health and systemic wellbeing.

The goal is to address dental issues at their source rather than simply treating symptoms, leading to healthier outcomes in the long term.

Safe & Toxin-Free Dental Practices

Holistic dentists take extra precautions to minimize exposure to toxins in the dental office environment. This includes:

  • Mercury-safe amalgam removal – Special protocols are used to safely remove old silver fillings and prevent mercury exposure.
  • Fluoride alternatives – Some holistic practices offer fluoride-free remineralization treatments for patients who prefer a fluoride-free approach.
  • Chemical-free sterilization methods – Non-toxic disinfectants and steam sterilization help maintain a clean, safe environment.

By focusing on non-toxic practices, holistic dentistry supports your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive.

Integrating Oral and Systemic Health

A holistic approach considers how dental conditions impact the rest of the body. For example, gum disease has been linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other systemic conditions. Dr. Krista Farr, Dr. Jessica Bains or Dr. Eric Mack work to improve overall wellness by addressing the root causes of oral health issues, often collaborating with other healthcare providers when necessary.

I recently had to get a root canal, and I was a little bit nervous because they have such a bad reputation. Dr. O’Connell was great, and the procedure really was not bad at all! Lupe was also very nice and helpful during the entire process. Thank you for giving me such good care, and for making the process as easy as possible!

My wife and I have never had such an amazing dental experience. Dr. Farr takes great care to make sure that she and all of her staff are friendly and courteous to their patients. We both commented to each other that we had no pain during or after our cleaning and exams. Thanks for providing such a gentle dental experience!!
