What is Natural Dentistry?
Here at Apollonia Dental Wellness, we provide dental care that aligns with nature. Natural, holistic, or biological dentistry recognizes that oral health is a key part of overall health. Signs and symptoms present in the mouth are often a manifestation of systemic imbalance, while many problems that start in the mouth eventually affect the rest of the body if they are not addressed. Dr. Knabe understands this intricate oral-systemic connection and firmly believes that a biological approach to dental care is not just a growing niche in dentistry, but the fruit of truly comprehensive dental care.
Education is Key
At the heart of the practice of natural, biological dentistry is a commitment to lifelong learning and adaptation. Dr. Knabe is invested in quality continuing education to provide her team and her patients with the best avenues in oral health. Patients are encouraged to ask questions, discuss concerns, and learn about the fascinating biological interplay of mouth and body. In our practice, there is no such thing as a silly question or an invalid concern-we are here to listen, explore possibilities, and guide you on your health journey.
Treatments Include
- Fluoride-free materials
- Metal-free prosthetics
- Biocompatible restorations
- Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) protocol
- Laser bacterial reduction
Preventive Care
The crux of prevention in biological dentistry is nutritional status of our patients. While conventional dentistry is prone to the “brush and floss” mantra, we dig a little deeper. Nutrient availability and absorption, microbial balance, and hormonal signaling all play a significant role in orodental health, in addition to proper hygiene. Under our care, we monitor your oral health for signs and symptoms of imbalances beyond hygiene and we have specialized tests to determine your individual preventive needs.
Restorative Care
In the realm of dental restorations, biological dentistry emphasizes material biocompatibility and biomimetic function. Our office is equipped with non-toxic options for all restorative treatment needs, carefully selected to perform well for the body just as well as the mouth. We value early treatment to minimize cost, conserve tooth structure, and avoid a cascade of interventions down the road.
