what is holistic dentistry?

Practicing dentistry in a holistic way requires an understanding of the art and science of the human form and how toxic materials affect the body. The techniques and materials we use need to meet our standards and need to be more biocompatible, less toxic, while still being effective.

Holistic dentistry really aims to treat the root cause of a problem, not chase signs and symptoms endlessly. Here, we work collaboratively with you to achieve total wellness, starting with a whole-team, whole-body, whole-person approach.

mercury filling removal

“The use of mercury in dental amalgam fillings poses serious risks to human health, and dental mercury released into the environment can cause long-lasting damage to wildlife.”

- International Academy of Oral Medicine & Toxicology

If you have mercury fillings (“silver fillings”), removing them in a way that is safe for you, for us, and for the environment is incredibly important. We’re one of the only practices in Louisiana that is SMART certified, allowing us to remove mercury fillings in the least toxic way possible, and replace them with filling options that are more biocompatible.

ozone therapy

“Oral microbiomes play an important role in the human microbial community and human health.”

- The National Center for Biotechnology Information

Ozone therapy is a minimally invasive treatment offered here at enlightenDENTAL to completely reset your oral microbiome. This in-depth cleansing allows us to replenish your microbiome to have more of a balanced system in your mouth overall. The process safely eliminates bacteria in the mouth, fighting infection and inflammation, and leads to a healthier mouth and teeth.

Airway & Biological Assessments

The mechanics of natural breathing rely on an open airway that is supported by stable oral health, functional jaw joints, and unrestricted airflow through our nasal passages. When a component of this natural process is compromised, it can lead to chronic and serious health concerns. We’re passionate about airway and biological assessments to evaluate your breathing and the structure of your jaw and palate. These assessments help us to identify underlying issues, and create a customized treatment plan to get you on the path to better sleep, better breathing, and better long-term health.
