What Is Wellness & Holistic Dentistry?

Wellness & holistic dentistry is an approach that looks at how your mouth, body, and lifestyle work together. Instead of focusing only on fixing problems, we explore possible root causes, such as diet, sleep, stress, or habits, and partner with you on practical, sustainable changes.

We still use proven, science-based dentistry, but with extra attention to how treatments may affect your comfort, immune system, and long-term health. You receive clear explanations, options, and support so you can make informed choices that align with your values.

  • Whole-body assessments We consider medical history, medications, sleep, and stress when planning your care. Great for: patients seeking a more personalized approach.
  • Conservative treatment planning We prioritize preserving natural tooth structure and avoiding unnecessary procedures.
  • Focus on prevention Routine exams, gentle cleanings, and lifestyle guidance to reduce future problems.
  • Collaboration with other providers When helpful, we can coordinate with your physician or wellness team.

Conservative, Biocompatible Treatment Options

Our wellness & holistic philosophy is reflected in the materials and techniques we use. We aim to choose options that are strong, long-lasting, and as kind as possible to your body. Your preferences and sensitivities are always part of the conversation.

If you have concerns about metals, previous restorations, or sensitivities, we will listen carefully and walk you through safe, thoughtful options for your situation.

  • Tooth-colored, metal-free restorations Natural-looking fillings and crowns selected with durability and aesthetics in mind.
  • Thoughtful removal of old restorations When needed, we follow careful protocols to protect your teeth and surrounding tissues. Helpful for: updating aging fillings or crowns.

Wellness & Holistic Dentistry FAQs

How is wellness & holistic dentistry different from traditional dentistry?
Wellness & holistic dentistry uses the same evidence-based treatments you expect from modern dentistry but places extra focus on prevention, biocompatible materials, and your whole-body health. We consider how your mouth affects sleep, digestion, inflammation, and quality of life, and we tailor care accordingly.
Is holistic dentistry safe?
Yes. At Mint Dental Loft, safety and science come first. We follow current clinical guidelines, use proven materials, and layer a whole-body perspective on top. We are happy to discuss the pros and cons of different options so you can choose what feels right for you.
Can I still receive standard treatments like fillings and crowns?
Absolutely. Wellness & holistic dentistry does not mean skipping needed care. It means we plan fillings, crowns, and other treatments thoughtfully, often favoring conservative, tooth-preserving techniques and materials that align with your preferences and health needs.
What if I am concerned about metals or certain materials?
Let us know about any concerns or past reactions. We can discuss metal-free options, talk through the benefits and limitations of different materials, and plan any replacement of older work carefully and safely when appropriate.
Does wellness & holistic dentistry cost more?
Costs vary depending on the type of treatment and materials selected. Some biocompatible options may be similar in cost to traditional choices, while others can be higher. Before any treatment, we review fees, insurance benefits, and payment options so you can make informed financial decisions.
Will my insurance cover holistic dental services?
Most insurance plans focus on the type of procedure performed rather than the philosophy behind it. Exams, cleanings, fillings, and crowns are typically covered according to your plan, regardless of our wellness-centered approach. Our team can help you understand how your benefits apply.
Can a holistic approach help with issues like fatigue or headaches?
In some cases, dental factors such as clenching, grinding, jaw tension, or gum inflammation may contribute to broader symptoms. While we cannot treat every cause of fatigue or headaches, we can screen for dental contributors and collaborate with your other healthcare providers when appropriate.
Is wellness & holistic dentistry appropriate for children?
Yes. Children can benefit greatly from a preventive, whole-body approach. We emphasize gentle visits, healthy habits, nutrition guidance, and age-appropriate treatments that support growth and development while keeping kids comfortable and relaxed.
