Biological Dentistry Explained

Biological dentistry (also called holistic or integrative dentistry) treats the mouth as part of the whole body. It focuses on biocompatible materials, reducing toxins, and supporting overall wellness.

Key Principles

Biological dentists avoid materials that can affect immune function—such as mercury in amalgams—and use safe removal protocols when replacing old fillings. They consider how dental procedures and infections impact systemic health.

Common Practices

Safe mercury amalgam removal (SMART protocol), zirconia implants, ozone therapy, and cavitation treatment are core to biological dentistry. At America Dental, we integrate these approaches into every aspect of care.
