At Etesse Holistic & Cosmetic Dentistry, we are proud to offer holistic services to our patients. We believe in providing a whole-health approach to treating dental problems. Our holistic outlook means we focus on treating the underlying causes of dental problems, not just the symptoms.
Why Choose Holistic Dentistry?
Holistic dentistry has many benefits that will help optimize not only your oral health but your overall health as well. A dentist who practices holistic dentistry looks at the mouth as part of a whole, so whatever treatments you receive will be beneficial to your whole body.
Here are a reasons to choose holistic dentistry:
- Benefits to Your Overall Health: When you come to our dental practice, we look at your oral health in context with the rest of your body. Conditions in the teeth can also cause side effects throughout the entire body and vice-versa. We can help evaluate your symptoms and search for ways to optimize your oral and overall health.
- Optimal Healing and Health: Holistic dentistry encourages optimal healing and health. At our practice we offer ozone therapy, an effective treatment that helps kill microbes and encourages healing.
- Minimally Invasive Treatments: We try to maintain a minimally invasive approach to our dental procedures. With holistic dentistry, when we are removing a cavity, we try to only remove as little tooth material as possible. We try to maintain as much of the natural tooth as we can. Minimally invasive treatments allow for quicker healing time as well.
- Non-Toxic and Biocompatible materials: Our holistic dentists offer mercury-free dental fillings and crowns. Our fillings and crowns are natural and completely safe and mercury-free. We are also able to remove your old amalgam fillings and crowns and replace them with our non-toxic materials.

What Is Holistic Dentistry?
Holistic dentistry is an alternative to traditional dental care. At our practice, we approach oral care from a health-based perspective to understand the oral cavity as one part of a larger system . Holistic dentistry can also be known as natural dentistry and biological dentistry. Our doctors consider how oral health affects the whole body.
Whole-Body Health
Many dentists believe in just finding and filling cavities or pulling teeth. Here at our practice, we know that oral health is connected to our whole-body health. We understand that the mouth has a connection to the body. We help our patients understand how they can achieve lasting health overall, with an emphasis on their oral health.
Safe Mercury Removal
For many years dentists have been using amalgam materials for dental fillings and crowns. Now there is a much healthier alternative that is non-toxic and safe for your whole body. We provide safe dental amalgam removal at our office. Get new mercury-free dental restorations in a single visit!
Mercury-Free Dentistry
Amalgam fillings consist of a mercury material that can be harmful and toxic to the body. At our practice, we provide a more biocompatible approach to our fillings and crowns by using a mercury-free material. These white fillings and porcelain crowns provide not only a non-toxic approach, they also provide aesthetic appeal with their natural appearance that matches your other teeth.
Ozone Therapy
Ozone therapy is used to kill the bacteria in your mouth which enables a healthier immune system and promotes overall health. This therapy is highly effective and minimally invasive. We provide ozone therapy as a holistic approach to treating a variety of dental conditions including periodontal disease, tooth infections, tooth sensitivity, or canker sores.
Fluoride-Free Options
We offer a range of fluoride-free options like nanohydroxyapatite varnish to cater to our patients’ diverse needs and preferences. These options are ideal for those seeking a more holistic approach to oral health. Rest assured, our team is dedicated to providing personalized care that respects your choices and supports your overall well-being.
Biocompatible Materials
Our commitment to your health means we only use biocompatible materials for your restorations including resin composite and ceramics. These are less likely to cause adverse reactions and are well-tolerated by your body. We conveniently also carry oral hygiene products that also support this commitment to your well-being.
Technology
Providing safe and biological dentistry is very important. Our technology aids us in making our office and services safe. Dental X-rays are important for diagnosing cavities and other oral problems, and in our office we only use our digital X-rays with the lowest radiation possible. This exposes patients to less radiation, making the diagnosis process safer.
3D Cone Beam Scan (CBCT)
Our doctors use a 3D cone beam scanner to assist us in providing excellent modern dental care to our patients. The 3D cone beam scanner (CBCT) is a highly advanced dental technology that provides us with a three-dimensional image reconstruction of your teeth, mouth, sinuses, and jaw. The 3D cone beam scanner helps us plan and carry out treatments. Here are a few examples of how we use it:
- Surgical planning for impacted teeth
- Evaluating the jaw, sinuses, nerve canals, and nasal cavity
- Determining bone structure and tooth orientation
- Locating the origin of pain
- Reconstructive surgery
- Planning dental implant placement
