HOLISTIC DENTISTRY OPTIONS AT SUBURBAN DENTAL

Amalgam Removal

While the removal of dental amalgam fillings has been touted as having health benefits, it is as yet unproven. We do however remove old amalgams for cosmetic purposes and replace them with ceramic inlays or onlays, composite restorations, and ceramic crowns. If the purpose is strictly cosmetic your insurance company may not pay any benefits.

Non-Surgical Periodontics

In many cases gum surgery is not required for gum disease. Often we will do chemical curretage whereby a chemical solution is placed under your gums to dissolve the diseased gum tissue. We can also institute body chemistry balancing procedures to help insure that you do not get continued bone loss.

Body Chemistry Balancing

It has been shown that patients with certain inherited glandular patterns have an increased decay rate and periodontal or gum problems. Body chemistry balancing improves your inherited glandular pattern. It has also been shown that body chemistry balancing can help other health problems. Body measurements are required along with blood testing.

Orthopedic Orthodontics

Some dentists believe that the size of your teeth is just right for your face and extractions are often not necessary to make room to straighten them. Instead your dental arches can be expanded to make room and orthopedic appliances can be worn to stimulate your jaws to grow properly. This is the kind of orthodontics that we do at our office.
