What Is Holistic Dentistry and Why Is It Important?
Holistic dentistry is more than just a treatment plan for your teeth—it’s a philosophy that treats the whole person. We integrate traditional dental practices with natural therapies to promote better oral and systemic health. It’s a way of caring for your smile while considering your entire body’s needs, ensuring that everything we do supports your overall health.
Key Principles of Holistic Care
We’re committed to using safe, non-toxic materials that work in harmony with your body. Whether it’s using mercury-free fillings or focusing on nutrition to boost gum health, we carefully consider each treatment’s effect on your body.
How Holistic Dentistry Differs from Traditional Care
Traditional dentistry often focuses solely on the teeth, while holistic care emphasizes prevention, natural healing, and using materials that are biocompatible with your body. It’s not just about fixing a tooth—it’s about supporting your overall health in the process.

The Real Benefits of Holistic Dentistry
When you choose holistic dental care, you’re choosing more than just a clean smile. Here’s what it can do for you:
Whole-Body Health
Your oral health impacts your entire body. Gum disease, cavities, and infections can lead to more serious conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Holistic dentistry promotes better health by reducing your exposure to harmful toxins and focusing on prevention.
Biocompatible Materials for Your Health
We use materials that are safe for both your teeth and your body. For example, instead of using mercury in fillings, we use biocompatible alternatives that are safe and long-lasting, ensuring your oral health is supported in every way.
Our Holistic Dentistry Services
At Thrive Dental & Orthodontics, we offer a range of holistic treatments designed to give you a healthier smile—naturally.
Mercury-Free Fillings: Safe & Effective
Say goodbye to old mercury amalgam fillings. We use composite resin that matches your tooth color and is free of harmful substances, protecting both your smile and your health.
Non-Surgical Gum Disease Treatment
Our non-surgical treatments focus on naturally supporting your gums, using tools like laser therapy and scaling and root planing to eliminate bacteria and promote healing without the need for invasive surgery.
Nutritional Counseling for Healthy Gums and Teeth
Good nutrition goes hand-in-hand with great dental health. We offer nutritional counseling to help you make smart food choices that nourish your gums and teeth. From foods that fight inflammation to those that promote enamel health, we’re here to guide you.
