Why Should I Choose Biologic Dentistry?

Your mouth and teeth are essential parts of your body. When these structures are healthy, they promote wellness throughout your body. When your teeth are damaged or painful, it reduces your ability to eat, sleep, and generally live your life the way you deserve.

In our office, we are well aware of how dental health affects your entire body, from emotional well-being to digestive function. By practicing biologic dentistry, we are emphasizing not only your teeth, but the purpose of your mouth and chewing system as well as their role in your overall health.

What Is the Difference Between Biologic and Traditional Dentistry?

Traditional dentistry focuses on the immediate problems with your teeth, sometimes at the expense of the body as a whole. For example, traditional dentistry practices might recommend a filling that is made from a material that has the potential to negatively impact your overall health.

With biologic dentistry, we make every effort to consider the system the tooth exists in, not just the minor problem facing that single tooth in the moment.In the example above, biologic dentistry would look for opportunities to use safe materials to restore the tooth. These other materials are chosen carefully to protect your overall health as well as your oral health.

What Are the Advantages of Biologic Dentistry?

As biologic dentistry takes systems rather than only symptoms into consideration, your body’s chewing system experiences less disruption, and you can expect far fewer potential side effects occurring anywhere in your body.

Just like traditional dentistry, practitioners of biologic dentistry are always working to improve your dental functionality, oral health, and the aesthetics of your smile—we simply want to consider your overall health at the same time.
