The Biological Dentist

Doctors are increasingly finding that their patients are aware, informed and savy. We have become vigilant about what we eat, drink and breathe. We are concerned with the alarming frequency of pollutants present in our environment and artificial additives in our diet. What’s more, we now enlist the help of homeopathic and bionatural experts to help wean ourselves off pharmaceutical supplements in favor of naturally occurring ingredients. We do this in pursuit of better health and quality of life.

Today, the biological doctor is helping pave the way for a new era of medicine that integrates the best traditional treatment with the most promising alternative remedies in use for generations across the planet, from Europe all the way to China. At the Smile Spa, a center known for luxury accommodations and clinical service second to none, patients seek more than the usual excellence in clinical care and outstanding cosmetic enhancement. They come for rejuvenation of the body and soul.

The Smile Spa services go beyond today’s standards. We identify dental bio-toxins to the oral cavity and banish it from our facilities. We avoid a multitude of heavy metals, steer clear from controversial substances and services when possible, and substitute them with a more friendly alternative. A good example of such material would be mercury in amalgam restorations or nickel in crowns. Fluoride and root canals are other lesser known culprits that are receiving a lot of attention due to their toxicity.

We are learning that dental implants, even with their metallic properties are a much safer option for our biologically astute patients than the mummification of badly damaged teeth and the possible entombment of residual pathogens in them. Many of our patients have zero tolerance for toxins in their oral cavity. They are well aware of the many scientific studies linking the health of their oral cavities to a multitude of risks ranging from pregnancy complications to cardiovascular and autoimmune diseases of the body. The concept of eliminating pain and anxiety from dentistry is not a new one, but one where few strides have been made, until now. Today, elite dentists are not satisfied providing clinical excellence, they are committed to elevating their standards of care to meet the more demanding and better educated consumer. With luxury accommodations, full spa services and relaxation bays designed to distract our patients from the negative stereotypes of dental care we continue to build on past successes. Just as our toddlers look forward to being at their best behavior for the chance of selecting a toy from the treasure chest, so do adults for a courtesy hour of pampering in our facility. This is a classic evolution of the concept of the treasure chest that we have always used to gain compliance from our young patients. We all crave the zen of peace of mind and wellness of the body. This is why we feel that toxicity, biological or chemical, has no place in a healing environment. You should look for these values and expect them when you visit dental offices in the future.
