At South Lakewood Dental, we believe that Lakewood, Colorado area patients are deserving of quality dental health care in our community. Dr. Scott Stewart stresses with his patients the importance of visiting a dentist who has a holistic, bio compatible and biological approach to dentistry for the health and wellness of patients smiles and bodies.
Many patients are interested in learning about the benefits of visiting a bio compatible dentist such as Dr. Scott Stewart. Bio compatible dentists, or dentists who provide holistic dental care, stress the importance of using reliable and safe materials in dental work and perform procedures that are conservative in nature to maintain as much of the natural tooth structure as possible and allow patients to maintain a smile free from periodontal disease and decay.
A bio compatible dentist may also be well aware of the problems associated with using materials such as silver amalgam fillings. Silver amalgam fillings are metal fillings that have been used for decades by traditional dentists to address areas of decay, but it has been found that the mercury used in these fillings can be toxic and affect one’s dental and physiological health. A holistic dentist is concerned about the integrity of the smile and how it affects one’s oral systemic health and wellness overall.
The oral systemic connection is a primary concern for dentists who perform bio compatible dental procedures. Dr. Scott Stewart himself knows a lot about how the health of the smile can affect the health of the body. Patients with periodontal disease are known to have other infections throughout the body because of how the bacteria travels through bloodstream and into other organs of the body, having a cumulative effect on the overall demise of a healthy body. By addressing periodontal disease and infections within the oral cavity, patients can enjoy a healthier body as well, reducing their risk for many medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and strokes.
