What is biological dentistry, and why is it important?
At Westwood Dentistry of Westwood, Massachusetts, Drs. Monica Anand and Anshuman Rawat provide biological dentistry to patients in their office. Biological dentistry is a holistic approach that emphasizes the connection between one’s oral health and overall health. This type of dentistry incorporates safe, toxin-free, natural and holistic materials and strategies to improve and maintain oral health. A more biocompatible approach to oral health is the hallmark of biological dentistry.
What is biologic dentistry?
Biologic dentistry is a holistic approach to taking care of oral health. It includes a focus on the following concerns:
- BPA-free white fillings. Other dentists have been using materials such as metal or silver amalgam to help patients diagnosed with tooth decay. Our team focuses on offering composite resin fillings instead, which are safer and more appropriate for the human body.
- SMART certification. Our team has SMART certification, which is additional education and training in the removal of harmful fillings and replacement with biological materials.
- Compatibility testing for material allergies. Various materials are used in dentistry, and we can test patients for allergies before placing certain types of implants or restorations.
- Ceramic implants for metal-free options. Instead of using titanium metal dental implants, we are pleased to offer an alternative, such as ceramic implants, for those looking for metal-free choices for their smiles.
- Ozone treatments. The use of ozone gas can be integrated into many of our procedures to help boost the natural healing process.
PRF. Our dental practice uses PRF or platelet-rich fibrin to hasten the healing process, alleviate pain, and reduce swelling during various dental procedures. This involves withdrawing PRF from the patient’s blood and injecting it during treatments.
