Holistic dentistry

A dentist who works with a holistic approach places fillings but does not use dental amalgam for fillings (also called black fillings, amalgam fillings or silver fillings). Instead, we use a mercury-free composite material. First of all, we work hard to prevent caries from progressing to the point where the tooth needs a filling.

We also use dental laser instead of the traditional drill. Laser treatment is much quieter and more comfortable for the patient, prevents trauma and pain, allows faster healing and removes less healthy tooth structures.

In addition to fillings, we continuously work to find and solve the cause of weakened tooth enamel. Our focus is on preventing further tooth decay. We also strive to remineralise weakened tooth enamel when this option is possible.

DENTAL FILLINGS

Dentists who work holistically also make crowns (tooth veneers) and bridges. During treatment, we try to preserve as much of the natural tooth structure as possible. We use advanced techniques such as ozone treatment to clean the affected area and materials such as zirconia ceramics to create prosthetic work. These materials are better for patients’ health as they do not cause allergic reactions and often last longer.

At the Smile Clinic we only use the highest quality zirconium ceramics for the manufacture of crowns and bridges. They last longer than others, are non-toxic and are manufactured in our own dental laboratory using the latest CAD-CAM technology. Our patients can choose bridges on implants that are of high quality and do not damage the surrounding teeth.

DENTAL CROWNS 

Holistic dentistry treats inflammation in the root canals of the teeth in such a way that instead of overusing antibiotics and chemical antiseptics, the inflamed area is treated with non-toxic ozone for more effective results. We also use a dental laser whenever possible to minimize damage to tooth structure.

Sometimes, however, it is necessary to extract the tooth and place an implant, as the root canals of the teeth can become infected again over time.

DENTAL TREATMENT

Dentists practicing the traditional approach usually use titanium dental implants, but some patients are sensitive to metal. In such cases, holistic dentists use special biocompatible implants that perfectly fit the jaw and do not cause allergic reactions. In such cases, we can use high-quality ceramic implants from Straumann at the Smile Clinic.

DENTAL IMPLANTS

Our holistic dentists treat gum disease using the least invasive procedures and the least toxic drugs. Your first line of defence is often ozone therapy, which helps kill pathogenic bacteria that damage gums and cause inflammation.

If the patient’s condition requires surgery, it is performed with a soft tissue dental laser. The healing process is faster and patients feel less pain when surgeries are performed with a laser instead of a traditional scalpel. Lasers can even be used to treat tooth cavitation associated with gum disease.

OZONE THERAPY

Our dentists, who follow a holistic approach, want you, the patient, to have a healthy and beautiful smile. We do not use silver fillings but offer non-toxic, high quality treatments to ensure our patients have the ideal smile, such as invisible braces, dental veneers and laser bleaching.

BLEACHING

We use X-rays to examine teeth and jaws when necessary, but we use technologies that emit very low doses of radiation, such as B. digital X-ray machines.
