Minimally-invasive Restorative Dentistry in Flower Mound, TX
When our teeth are damaged through fractures, cavities and wear – improper diagnosis and treatment can have adverse effects that are permanent. Often, traditional dentistry fails to get to the root of the problem - and employ solutions that may result in the need for more advanced and invasive treatments down the line. Treatments shouldn’t worsen and prolong the problem; they should be geared towards extending the longevity and vitality of the natural tooth for as long as possible.
With Holistic dentistry, the aim is to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible. The goal of holistic dentistry is to restore teeth with decay or cracks to their natural strength and structure. In clinical practice, over 10,000 holistic restorations have lasted 20 years and counting, and patients have experienced the highest quality of care resulting in long-lasting, symptom-free restorations.
These days most dentists have moved away from placing silver amalgam filings. We all know that the problem with amalgam is that the metals expand over time - undermining healthy tooth structure that result in cracked, chipped or broken teeth. These days, cavities are filled with a tooth colored filling material known as composite - commonly known as a bonding. But did you know that a composite filling can act just like a silver filling if it was placed improperly? Composite restorations are technique sensitive and require patience and time to get them right. If they are not done right, they act just like silver fillings and will shrink and allow bacteria to re-infect the tooth. With holistic methods, we hope to eliminate the need for re-treatment and keep your tooth as healthy as possible.
How Holistic Treatment is Different
Rather than slapping a dental “band aid” on and hoping for the best, our holistic dentist uses evidence based techniques to identify the exact areas of the tooth that need to be removed due to decay or cracks. This way, we aren’t drilling away healthy tooth structure, and we can preserve your natural tooth for longer.
Our treatments are minimally invasive and much more precise. Whether it’s composite fillings, inlays, or onlays; we will use gold standard materials and advanced bonding techniques to restore your tooth with custom-made restorations that are long-lasting and feel comfortable. Our goal is to provide treatments that stop the death cycle of the tooth, are free of post operative complications, reinforce the strength of the tooth and reduce the need for future intervention; saving you time, money and headaches in the future.
