Both traditional and biological dentists attend dental school and uphold standards of care set by recognized governing bodies. The main difference between philosophies occurs within their approach to patient care. It is generally believed that traditional dentists diagnose and treat dental disease, often with an emphasis on prevention.
Biological dentists approach patient care with a more holistic view, seeking to understand the root cause of oral disharmony, treat the problem with modalities that do not adversely affect the health of the patient, and collaborate with the patient and their health care providers to achieve and maintain the most optimal oral and systemic health outcomes.
The term holistic dentistry dates back to the 1970s when it was made popular by the Holistic Dental Association which was developed in order to collaborate on methods of care that incorporated whole-body health. Since then, the field of holistic dentistry has continued to evolve as more understanding is gained about the role nutrition, environmental toxins, sleep, bite or TMJ disorders, and potentially toxic dental materials play in systemic health.
In more recent years, holistic dentistry has been referred to as biological dentistry. Some practitioners feel that this differentiation highlights the addition of greater surgical expertise within the field. Yet, although each individual dentist may resonate with one title over another, both terms are generally accepted as comparable.
- Cosmetic Advantage: Metal implants often present a gray hue through the gums or around the edges of the crown. Ceramic implants are white and mimic natural teeth exquisitely.
- Metal-Free: Research continues to suggest that the dental application of metal implants can result in negative health implications for the patient. Therefore, the use of non-metal ceramic implants avoids any such potential ramifications.
- Immunologically Neutral/Biocompatible: Zirconia has no free surface electrons, making it an inert material. Thus, studies show that it does not act as an interference field within the energetic meridians of the body.
- Healthy Integration: Growing research indicates that zirconia poses little to no risk for peri-implantitis. In other words, it generally heals readily to healthy bone and rarely accumulates inflammatory bacteria. Therefore, many of the leading biological dentists find zirconia implants to have higher long-term success rates than metal implants.s

Solea® is the top-selling soft, hard, and osseous tissue laser in the field of dentistry. It is the first laser of its kind to be approved by the FDA and utilizes a sophisticated computer to deliver a unique wavelength. It features isotopic CO2 technology that produces a very narrow, intense beam of light energy. As a result, this laser is able to gently reshape and/or remove oral soft and hard tissues (i.e., gingiva, dentin, enamel, and bone tissues) with fast and safe precision.
