Dental Care

Holistic dentistry means taking your patient as an entire person. They have their life, their personality, and their entire body — not just a tooth, gum, or X-ray. When we practice holistic dentistry, a lot of it involves special certifications and training, but even more importantly, it's about reducing harm to the patient.

This means not using silver mercury fillings, and when we remove mercury fillings, we take a number of extra precautions. There are specialized steps and equipment we use to minimize exposure to mercury. We also use specific techniques to reduce the release of monomers and other chemicals during treatment because dentistry involves many materials that can contain potentially harmful substances. A major part of holistic dentistry is minimizing the patient's exposure to these chemicals.

Reducing inflammation is another important focus. By bonding our crowns in a way that is biomimetic — meaning it mimics nature — we can preserve more of the natural tooth and make the patient healthier overall. Holistic dentistry is about copying nature whenever possible.

We also think of the person as a whole when developing treatment plans. Each plan is tailored specifically to the patient because not every patient should be treated the same way. The ideal treatment is different for everyone. To create the best plan, you need to understand what your patients value most and what's most important to them. This way, we can design treatment that fits their goals, lifestyle, and long-term health.

Nature in general is perfection by iteration — trial and error that results in ideal function. Engineers use this concept all the time, and dentistry should too. Nature should be copied, and when we don't fully understand why something works, that's even more reason to replicate it. Biomimetic dentistry follows this philosophy by bonding porcelain and using a process called immediate dentin sealing to create the strongest bond possible. This helps recreate the natural structure of a tooth, minimizes irritation to the pulp, reduces the need for root canals, and leads to longer-lasting, more comfortable results for patients.

At Studio Smiles Huntington Beach, our philosophy of holistic dentistry focuses on the connection between oral health and overall well-being.
