Biological & Preventive Dentistry
We firmly believe prevention is the key to optimal oral health. By addressing potential issues before they escalate, we help patients avoid extensive dental work in the future, with a comprehensive assessment of each patient’s oral health using advanced tools and treatment that respects the connection between your mouth and your whole body.
What is biological dentistry?
Biological dentistry, also called holistic or integrative dentistry, considers the interconnectedness of the mouth and body. It focuses on treating the whole person rather than isolated dental issues, prioritizing biocompatible materials, minimally invasive techniques, and preventative measures, while avoiding potentially harmful substances like mercury fillings.
Our preventative strategies
Natural, minimally invasive, and grounded in understanding your unique oral ecosystem.
-
Microscopic bacterial testing
We analyze your oral microbiome in detail, identifying the specific types and levels of bacteria in your mouth, so preventative care is tailored to your actual biology, not a template.
-
Ozonated water
A potent natural disinfectant that eliminates bacteria, viruses, and fungi, creating a clean, sterile treatment environment and better outcomes.
-
Air polishing
At hygiene visits we use warmed, pressurised ozonated water with a fine erythritol powder to disinfect below the gumline. For most patients it means noticeably less scraping.
-
Bacterial laser reduction therapy
A non-invasive laser treatment that reduces the bacterial load in the mouth, lowering infection risk and promoting healthier gums.
-
Biocompatible, mercury-free materials
Materials chosen to support your overall health and reduce exposure to harmful substances, especially for patients with sensitivities to traditional dental materials.

Common questions
How is this different from regular dentistry?
Traditional dentistry primarily treats specific dental issues. Our approach considers the broader impact of oral health on the body, prioritizing biocompatible materials, minimally invasive techniques, and prevention, and accounting for factors like nutrition and lifestyle.
Who should see a biological dentist?
Anyone who values a whole-body approach to health, prefers natural and minimally invasive treatment, or has sensitivities to traditional dental materials. Patients of all ages and health backgrounds can benefit.
Why does preventative care matter so much?
Catching issues early makes them easier and less expensive to treat, and it helps you avoid root canals, extractions, and implants later. Oral health is also linked to overall health, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory conditions.
