What Is Holistic Dentistry?
Claremont Dental Institute believes in treating the whole patient, taking into account how your oral health and dental care affect your overall physical health and well-being. We want you to feel your best with dental care that minimizes loss of natural tooth structure and incorporates metal-free treatment options.
Dr. Patel practices Holistic Dentistry, a holistic approach to addressing common dental health concerns and helping patients maintain their oral health in a way that balances it with their overall wellness. This approach seeks to preserve your tooth structure and restore damage or decay using natural-looking, metal-free materials. The end result is stable oral and overall health that is aesthetically pleasing.
Metal-Free Dentistry
Metal-free dentistry uses ceramic and porcelain materials to restore damaged or decayed tooth structure and enhance your appearance. We offer:
- White fillings
- Porcelain dental crowns
- Zirconia ceramic dental implants
The materials we use are of the highest quality and are customized to your natural appearance. When combined with cutting-edge digital technology, your dental care is designed to be less invasive, support your long-term dental health, and minimize potential health risks associated with metals used in many restorations.
