Every part of your body works with the others for the benefit of your whole body health. When one part is damaged or unhealthy, it will invariably affect the rest of your body as well. Your dental health is no exception, and this is why at South Lakewood Dental we practice holistic dentistry in an effort to provide the best possible care for our patients. Your teeth and your body are intricately connected, and a holistic dentist believes that neither should be treated without considering the other. As a result, we use better alternatives to traditional dental treatments that we believe are much safer for your overall health and your smile.
We, along with many others, believe that traditional metal dental fillings that are made up of 50 percent mercury are simply too dangerous to keep using in our patients’ smiles. This is why when you have a cavity, we will use new alternative fillings made of biocompatible materials that also look better in your smile. These fillings do not pose the same risks to the health of patients, dentists, or the environment and are a much more attractive cosmetic option.
We make use of the latest that technology has to offer by providing laser dentistry to our patients. Lasers can be used in dental treatments to achieve many things without cutting into or damaging healthy tissue. Lasers can even help us to scan your smile for signs of decay and to treat cavities with minimal discomfort and better results.
Implants are another dental treatment we offer because we believe they are the best solution for your smile when you have lost teeth. Getting implants will offer support to your other dental structures, thereby keeping your whole smile healthier. At our office, we offer zirconium implants as an alternative to common titanium implants if you want your smile to stay entirely metal free.
If you have been looking for healthier dental alternatives, stop by and make an appointment with the dentist at our office on 2525 S. Wadsworth Blvd. #11, Lakewood, Colorado, 80227 to find out more about these and other treatments.
