Biological Dentistry Defined: Our Unique Approaches Support the “Whole You,” Not Just Your Stunning Smile!
Have you heard of “dental ozone” or the importance of safely removing silver-colored fillings? Does your dentist discuss only your teeth and gums but fail to get to know you as a “whole person”, with other factors that can contribute to oral conditions? If you’ve answered “yes” to any of these questions, you’re not alone. Not every dentist can claim to practice biological, holistic, or biocompatible dentistry in Clemmons, North Carolina. In fact, not every dentist marketed as a “holistic” or “biological” practitioner legitimately practices this type of dentistry. But we at Carolinas BioHealth Dentistry embody these principles in everything we do!
Our dentist, Dr. Tyler Wynne, has invested in the training, technologies, and tools to support authentically holistic or biocompatible (“tissue-friendly”) techniques and services. These investments allow us to truly help our patients’ long-term health and well-being as the one-of-a-kind, complex individuals they are.
- All techniques, services, products, and materials enhance whole-body health. For instance, we select the most conservative, tooth-preserving approaches possible to support the long-term strength and structural integrity of natural tissues. Conservative options, such as inlays or onlays instead of full crowns, are generally less invasive, costly, and time-consuming than more extensive ways to rebuild or replace teeth.
- Technology promotes happier, healthier patients. For example, the computer-aided CEREC system allows inlays, onlays, and crowns to be made in a single visit–while you wait. Onsite “helpers” such as digital imaging, laser dentistry, and ozone therapy also provide precision, comfortable alternatives to conventional instruments and approaches that trigger dental fear or anxiety. They also support fast and natural healing.
- Biocompatibility is a must-have. Some dental materials, notably amalgam made from mercury, present toxicity risks. Also, metals are not appropriate for patients with sensitivities. Furthermore, as an accomplished aesthetic dental practitioner, Dr. Wynne appreciates that non-toxic metal-free composites and ceramics are also lovely to look at and optimally replicate the appearance of natural and healthy enamel.
- We are mercury-safe! Carolinas BioHealth Dentistry has demonstrated the safeguards to be certified in “SMART,” the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique, by the International Academy of Oral Medicine & Toxicology. We have invested in the training, supplies, and equipment to minimize the risks of exposure to the toxin mercury during the removal of silver-hued amalgam fillings.
We also empower patients with the knowledge they need to support optimal oral health. When oral health is maintained or restored, it benefits the rest of the body and quality of life. After all, we appreciate how the mouth’s health affects and reflects the health of the rest of the body in all that we do. Experience our uniquely and authentically biological approach to dentistry for yourself. Call (336) 793-0577 to schedule your visit to our Clemmons, North Carolina office. We look forward to partnering with you and your family!
