Biologic dentistry

  • What is biologic dentistry?

    Biologic dentistry, also known as holistic or integrative dentistry, emphasizes the connection between oral health and overall systemic wellness. At Tetrahealth™, we focus on non-toxic, biocompatible materials and minimally invasive procedures to address root causes of dental issues, supporting your long-term health rather than merely managing symptoms.

  • How does biologic dentistry differ from traditional dentistry?

    Unlike traditional dentistry, biologic dentistry:

    • Uses biocompatible, non-toxic materials instead of mercury-containing amalgams
    • Emphasizes minimally invasive treatments
    • Incorporates advanced diagnostics (e.g., 3D imaging, salivary testing)
    • Considers whole-body health in all dental treatments
  • What materials are used in biologic dentistry?

    Biologic dentistry utilizes materials safe and compatible with your body, including:

    • Zirconia implants (metal-free, durable alternatives)
    • Ceramic crowns and bridges (safe, aesthetic restorations)
    • BPA-free composite fillings
    • Non-toxic bonding materials
  • How can biologic dentistry improve my overall health?

    Biologic dentistry helps reduce systemic inflammation by eliminating oral bacteria and toxic exposures linked to heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and chronic illnesses. At Tetrahealth™, our integrative approach promotes enhanced immunity, reduced inflammation, and overall vitality.

  • Who can benefit from biologic dentistry?

    Biologic dentistry benefits patients seeking safer alternatives to conventional dental materials and methods—especially individuals with sensitivities, allergies, or chronic health conditions. A biologic dentist can determine a personalized approach tailored specifically to your health needs.

  • What treatments are offered in biologic dentistry?

    Biologic dentistry at Tetrahealth™ includes:

    • Preventive care (routine cleanings, comprehensive diagnostics)
    • Restorative dentistry (non-toxic fillings, crowns, bridges)
    • Periodontal therapy (non-surgical gum treatments)
    • Cosmetic dentistry (safe, biocompatible aesthetic enhancements)
  • How does Tetrahealth™ approach patient education?

    At Tetrahealth™, patient education is a cornerstone of our biologic approach. We emphasize thorough communication regarding your treatment options, biocompatible materials, and the impact on your overall health. Our goal is to empower informed decisions aligned with your personal health philosophy.
