Science says your body’s systems are connected. Our holistic dentists treat them that way.
The Holistic Difference
Better Health Through Dentistry
Unlike traditional dental care, holistic dentistry recognizes that what happens to your teeth, gums, jaws, and all the parts of your mouth affects your entire body.
Instead of just “treating mouth issues”, we focus on understanding and preventing health issues at the source through less-invasive treatment, safer materials, and patient education.
- Holistic care for all dental treatments
- Comprehensive, full-service dentistry
- Family-friendly, all-ages oral healthcare
But what does holistic care look like in practice?
Non-reactive, Hypoallergenic Treatments
Zirconia Implants
Clinically-proven and entirely metal-free, they’re ideal for anyone with metal allergies or sensitivities.
Mercury-free Fillings
We remove toxic mercury fillings and replace them with safe and durable composite fillings.
Chelation
This natural technique flushes mercury and heavy metals from your body to protect you from lingering toxins.
Nutrition and Hygiene Education
Habits and home care are every bit as important as treatments and regular checkups. Our Burnaby dentists will teach you:
- Nutrition for better oral health
- Cavity-preventing eating habits
- Flossing & brushing techniques
Safer, Non-toxic Patient Care
Purified Water Lines
Each water line is flushed nightly with a disinfectant and tested regularly to ensure there’s no biofilm growth.
Low-radiation CBCT Scans
Less radiation than traditional CT scans, but much more precision than x-rays, for safer surgery in every way.
Fully Digital Imaging
100% digital imaging lets you avoid potential mouth irritation and toxicity from traditional dental impressions.
