FAQs About Holistic Dentistry
- What is holistic dentistry?
- Holistic dentistry is a whole-body approach that emphasizes biocompatible materials, mercury-free fillings, and minimally invasive treatment. Adriatic Dental in Vista, CA practices this approach across restorative and preventive care.
- What does mercury-free mean?
- It means restorations are placed using tooth-colored composite rather than amalgam, which contains mercury. Adriatic Dental in Vista, CA uses composite for new fillings, bonded directly to the tooth structure.
- What are biocompatible dental materials?
- Biocompatible materials are chosen for how the body tolerates them as well as how they perform mechanically. Adriatic Dental in Vista, CA uses ceramic and zirconia restorations, which contain no metal and are shade-matched to the surrounding teeth.
- Is holistic dentistry the same as regular dentistry?
- The clinical standards are identical, and the difference lies in material selection and how conservatively the tooth is treated. Adriatic Dental in Vista, CA follows the same diagnostic process, using digital X-rays and an intraoral camera to assess each tooth.
- Does minimally invasive mean less drilling?
- It means removing only diseased tooth structure and preserving sound enamel and dentine. Adriatic Dental in Vista, CA monitors early demineralization for remineralization rather than restoring it immediately, since enamel that has not cavitated can still recover.
- Does holistic dentistry avoid X-rays?
- No. Imaging is used where it answers a clinical question that examination cannot. Adriatic Dental in Vista, CA uses digital X-rays, which require significantly less radiation than traditional film, and takes them selectively rather than routinely.
- How do I schedule an appointment at Adriatic Dental?
- Call (760) 517-8655 to schedule an appointment at Adriatic Dental in Vista, CA. The practice accepts new patients and treats both adults and children.
