Holistic Dentistry

We take pride in sourcing and selecting materials that are as non-toxic and as minimally invasive as possible. This is to ensure that any dental treatment you have will exist in harmony with your body and protect the health of the body as well as the mouth. 

Latex-Free
Instead of using latex gloves, we prefer the use of nitrile gloves and rubber dams.

Mercury-Free
When removing old dental amalgam fillings containing mercury, we take multiple precautions to minimise exposure. These include:

• Placement of a dam to isolate the tooth and protect the rest of your mouth from exposure
• Use of suction to collect residual mercury vapour
• Skilfull sectioning of the filling by the dentist

Phasing Out Non-Precious Metal Crowns and Onlays 

We no longer use non-precious metal crowns and onlays in all of our clinics, as they may trigger allergic or autoimmune responses in some. Instead, we selectively use ceramics or precious metals, which are more biocompatible. Holistic dentists tend to use ceramic or BPA free composite materials. 

Avoid the Use of Certain Techniques

Holistic dentists try to avoid drilling practices. For instance, when a patient requires a filling, they ensure that much of the tooth is left intact before using non-toxic filling material. They avoid procedures like dental crowns that involve the removal of much of the tooth, and instead use inlays for cavities.
