What is holistic dentistry?

Holistic (biological) dentistry treats oral health as connected to whole-body health. It avoids mercury amalgam, uses biocompatible materials, considers the impact of dental materials on systemic health, and often incorporates ozone therapy, nutritional guidance, and minimally invasive techniques.

How much does a holistic dentist cost in Brooklyn?

Holistic dental exams cost $150 – $350 . BPA-free fillings run $200 – $450 . Safe amalgam removal costs $300 – $700 per tooth . Expect to pay 10–30% more than conventional practices for the premium materials used.

Is holistic dentistry covered by insurance?

Standard procedures (exams, cleanings, fillings, crowns) are covered at the same rate as conventional dentistry. Holistic-specific services like ozone therapy, biocompatibility testing, and SMART protocol fees may not be covered.

What is the SMART protocol for amalgam removal?

SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) is a set of protective measures — including rubber dam isolation, high-volume suction, activated charcoal, and external air supply — that minimize mercury vapor exposure during amalgam filling removal.

Should I have my mercury fillings removed?

This is a personal health decision. Holistic dentists recommend removal due to concerns about chronic low-level mercury exposure. The ADA considers intact amalgam fillings safe. If you choose removal, the SMART protocol minimizes risk.

What are ceramic dental implants?

Ceramic (zirconia) implants are metal-free alternatives to titanium implants. They cost $3,500 – $6,000 per tooth in Brooklyn — more than titanium — but are preferred by holistic patients concerned about metal in the body.

What is ozone therapy in dentistry?

Ozone therapy uses ozone gas or ozonated water to kill bacteria in cavities, gum pockets, and root canals. It can reduce the need for drilling in early cavities and costs $50 – $200 per treatment in Brooklyn.

Do holistic dentists use fluoride?

Many holistic dentists offer fluoride-free alternatives for cleanings and home care. Some provide fluoride upon request while defaulting to non-fluoride options. Your preference is respected at holistic practices.

What is biocompatibility testing?

A blood test (like Clifford Materials Reactivity Testing) that identifies which dental materials your body may react negatively to. It costs $200 – $500 and is recommended before major restorative work at holistic practices.

Are holistic dentists real dentists?

Yes — holistic dentists hold the same DDS or DMD degree and NYS dental license as conventional dentists. Biological dentistry is a practice philosophy and additional training, not a separate specialty.

What are BPA-free composite fillings?

Standard composite fillings contain trace amounts of BPA (bisphenol-A). BPA-free composites use alternative resin chemistry. They cost $200 – $450 per filling — slightly more than standard composites.

Can a holistic dentist do root canals?

Some holistic dentists perform root canals using ozone therapy and biocompatible sealers. Others recommend extraction and ceramic implant replacement, based on the belief that root-canal-treated teeth harbor bacteria. The approach varies by practitioner.

What is cavitation surgery?

Cavitation surgery addresses infected or necrotic bone in the jaw, often at old extraction sites. It involves cleaning out the affected bone and may include ozone therapy. Cost is $800 – $2,500 in Brooklyn.

Do holistic dentists treat children?

Yes. Many Brooklyn holistic dentists welcome families and use fluoride-free cleanings, BPA-free sealants, and non-toxic materials for children. Some also screen for tongue ties and airway issues in young patients.

What is the difference between holistic and conventional dentistry?

The main differences are material choices (no mercury, BPA-free, metal-free options), additional safety protocols (SMART amalgam removal), and a treatment philosophy that considers whole-body health impacts of dental care.

Where are holistic dentists located in Brooklyn?

Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Williamsburg, and Cobble Hill have the highest concentration of holistic dental practices. Our Top 10 list includes options across these neighborhoods and beyond.

Do holistic dentists accept standard dental insurance?

Yes — most holistic dentists accept the same insurance plans as conventional practices. You use your regular dental benefits for covered procedures. Premium material upgrades and holistic-specific treatments may require out-of-pocket payment.

Is holistic dentistry more effective than conventional dentistry?

Clinical outcomes for standard procedures are comparable. The advantage of holistic dentistry is reduced exposure to potentially harmful materials (mercury, BPA, fluoride if you prefer to avoid it) and a focus on prevention and whole-body health.

What questions should I ask a holistic dentist at my first visit?

Ask about their SMART certification, which composite brands they use (and whether they are BPA-free), whether they offer ceramic implant options, and how they approach root canals and fluoride. Their answers reveal their level of commitment to biological principles.

Can I get teeth whitening at a holistic dental office?

Yes. Holistic practices often offer whitening using peroxide-based systems (the active ingredient is the same) with added protocols to protect gums and minimize sensitivity. Some offer natural whitening alternatives using ozone or activated charcoal.
