Holistic Dental Surgery options in Lakewood, Littleton, and Denver Colorado

Holistic Dental Care

Peak OMS focuses on our patients’ whole health, not just their dental care, which is a natural fit with holistic dental care. We are proud to integrate a holistic approach into our oral surgery practice, improving care and optimal patient results.

What is Holistic Dental Care?

Holistic dental care, sometimes called integrative dentistry, focuses on treating the whole person, not just the teeth and gums. This approach recognizes the connection between oral health and overall wellness. Holistic dental care and oral surgery combine traditional practices with natural and preventive health principles. We prioritize patient safety, use non-toxic materials, and aim to support the body’s natural healing abilities while achieving long-lasting oral health.

Rather than viewing oral health as an isolated concern, holistic dentists and oral surgeons consider how dental issues may affect other systems in the body and vice versa. This patient-centered philosophy encourages collaboration and education, giving our patients the tools to make informed decisions about their dental care.

Benefits of Holistic Dental Care

Holistic dental care offers many benefits for patients who value a more natural, health-conscious approach to oral care, including:

Biocompatible Materials

One of the foundations of holistic dentistry is using biocompatible materials that are gentle on the body and unlikely to trigger allergic or inflammatory responses. We do not use materials containing dental toxins such as mercury or BPA. Using gentler, biocompatible materials reduces the risk of side effects and promoteensures healthier healing.

Zirconium Implants

We offer zirconium dental implants as an alternative to traditional titanium implants. They are metal-free, non-corrosive, and have excellent biocompatibility, making them an ideal choice for patients with autoimmune disorders or metal sensitivities. Zirconium also resists plaque buildup and, because of its color, blends naturally with the look of the attached restoration for a more aesthetic appearance.

Minimizing Invasive Procedures

Whenever possible, we prioritize minimally invasive techniques that preserve as much of the natural tooth structure and surrounding tissue as possible. This approach reduces trauma, speeds recovery, and supports long-term oral health. We can achieve effective results with less intervention by using advanced diagnostic tools and conservative treatment planning.

Patient Education

Education plays a key role in holistic dental care. Our patients are encouraged to understand the links between nutrition, lifestyle, and oral health. By learning how systemic conditions like diabetes or digestive issues can impact the mouth—and vice versa—our patients are better equipped to take an active role in their wellness journey.

Minimal Use of Pharmaceuticals

Many healthcare professionals and their patients are concerned about the overuse of pharmaceuticals. We seek to limit our patients’ reliance on opioids and heavy medications when appropriate. While traditional care may rely on painkillers and antibiotics, we strive to reduce pharmaceutical use by using natural antibacterials and pain remedies to support comfortable healing without exposing patients to unnecessary chemicals.
