Top Holistic Dentist in Dothan, AL | Find Your Biodentist Today

We know there are many excellent offices to choose from in your search for a "dentist near me in Dothan." However, not all of these offices practice holistic dentistry. Even those offices that market themselves as "holistic" can vary in terms of their techniques, products, materials, technologies, and services. It is our great pleasure at Biodentist Alabama to introduce you to three ways to select an authentic holistic dental care provider who truly has the best interests of your family at heart.

1 – Look for an office that connects your oral health to your overall health.

Dentists can easily diagnose a cavity, fill it, and then send you on your way. This is not the case when you partner with Dr. Nathan Pfister, Dr. Brian Pfister, and our talented team. We account for the many factors that can influence the development of cavities and other forms of tooth decay and oral disease. To us, cavities or other forms of damage are not the "end all, be all". They are the symptom of the underlying condition and not the source of the problem. By identifying and targeting the true root cause of the damage, we support sustained pain relief and long-term health and function. These "root causes" might involve uncovering nutritional or behavioral/habit-related challenges that could put you at risk of future oral problems, which may be resolved with guidance on nutrition or on how to brush better and floss all of the areas of the mouth. The use of microscopy helps to identify areas that may be missed or where care is lacking based on the amount of harmful bacteria that may colonize these spots.

2 – Assess the materials that are used in all procedures.

Genuine holistic dentistry providers also practice biological dentistry. They only use and introduce materials compatible with biological/natural tissues to the mouth. You may be familiar with the health concerns of using mercury in silver-colored amalgam metal fillings. Mercury is a known toxin. You cannot find any toxic materials at our office. They have no place in the environment or our patients' mouths. Instead, we use metal-free, mercury-free materials for fillings and other restorations. These materials are attractive and designed to blend in with the rest of the teeth and the smile, and they are highly durable and strong. So, using only the safest, highest-quality materials goes beyond how we repair cavities. For example, we replace teeth with implants made from a high-performance ceramic (zirconia). Other offices only offer implants made from metal (titanium). This material partially eliminates concerns over adverse allergic reactions and sensitivities associated with metal implants.

3—Evaluate the type of materials and techniques used to complete your treatment or service.

Notably, true holistic providers avoid mercury/amalgam fillings and apply various measures to properly remove, handle, and dispose of the mercury in these fillings. Biodentist Alabama abides by the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique guidelines set forth by the IAOMT (International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology). To be SMART-compliant, we have invested in special technologies, equipment, and training on these protocols, which minimize mercury exposure during the filling removal and replacement process. Our approaches to mercury removal, handling, and waste disposal are better and healthier for our people, patients, and the planet. Our holistic techniques also extend to natural "healers" like ozone therapy. Dental ozone may be used on its own to reduce painful tooth sensitivity or in conjunction with other dental procedures – such as holistic root canal therapy.
We encourage you to see and experience the differences for yourself. Call (855) 939-5566 to schedule your visit today! We look forward to being your choice for holistic dental care in Dothan, AL, and the greater Montgomery, Tallahassee, and Panama City, FL, area.
