What is Biological Dentistry?


Biological Dentistry focuses on using biocompatible materials that are non-toxic and safe for human consumption. Testing these materials for compatibility before any treatment is administered. Biocompatibility is the interaction between a patient and a medical treatment, evaluating the safety of those treatments, via a blood test that reveals how the patient’s own immune system reacts to a variety of dental materials.

In comparison to what a traditional dentist might do -see a cavity, drill it and fill it-  a biological dentist understands that the mouth and body are connected. Biological dentists have a clear understanding of the harmful effects of dental toxins on overall health, they carefully select materials and procedures to restore and strengthen your immune system, not only your teeth. 

During a consultation, you can expect to have more time spent on patient education, more concern for whole-body wellness and how it relates to oral health and of course, non-toxic materials in all of the procedures. Experiencing a quality dental treatment, that will always guarantee your safety.
