Elevate Your Dental Experience with Holistic Dentistry
Are you looking for holistic dentistry in or near Annandale, Virginia? Welcome to Evergreen Dental Wellness, where we treat you as a whole—not just a set of teeth and gums. Our holistic dentist, Dr. Gyu Hwang, is committed to providing excellent dental care to support your oral-systemic health. From simple cleanings to complex restorative work, we strive to bring your mouth and body into harmony.
Raising the bar with holistic dental services
Holistic dentists offer services similar to traditional dentists, but the approach differs. We employ biocompatible materials and minimally invasive techniques to address dental issues.
Our holistic services include:
- Preventive dentistry: We encourage prevention over treatments with regular check-ups, professional cleanings, and low-radiation X-rays.
- Restorative dentistry: Even with diligent care, teeth can experience wear, decay, or damage over time. We use metal-free materials like composite fillings and porcelain crowns to restore your smile.
- Metal-free implant dentistry: Zirconia implants offer a practical, metal-free alternative to titanium implants. Better yet, ceramic implants are non-corrosive and offer better aesthetics because of their white appearance.
- Safe mercury removal services: Are you concerned about amalgam fillings in your mouth? We follow the SMART protocol to remove mercury-filled restorations without exposing patients and the dental team to harmful mercury vapors.
- Laser dentistry: Our “less is more” approach employs minimally invasive techniques like laser dental care. This innovative technology uses lasers instead of scalpels, drills, and other invasive tools. Laser dentistry has several applications, including periodontal care, teeth whitening, and cavity removal.
- Biological periodontal care: We take a natural approach to periodontal care, focusing on treating gum disease with minimally invasive, toxin-free methods. We use advanced techniques like laser therapy, ozone therapy, and salivary diagnostics to address oral bacteria while supporting whole-body health.
Why choose holistic dentistry?
Here are the benefits of holistic dental care.
- Addressing the root cause: We don’t just focus on your symptoms—we get to the root cause to resolve your dental issues and achieve sustainable outcomes.
- Whole-body approach: We understand the intricate relationship between your oral health and overall well-being. We evaluate how dental treatments, materials, and oral conditions affect the entire body, promoting overall wellness.
- Minimally invasive: Despite advancements in dental care, nothing can quite beat your natural dentition. We advocate for conservative dentistry without the overuse of aggressive drillings and excisions.
- Prevention: Instead of firefighting, we proactively stop dental issues before they arise. We emphasize good oral hygiene, routine dental visits, and proper nutrition to prevent tooth decay, infections, and other issues.
- Personalized care: We do not take a one-size-fits-all approach. We consider factors like diet, lifestyle, and stress levels, offering customized recommendations that promote oral and systemic health.
- Biocompatible materials: We are also called natural or biological dentists for a reason. We use non-toxic, tissue-friendly materials that are safe for the body. We avoid dental materials that contain BPA, mercury, and other substances that may pose health risks.
