Biological Dentistry
The concept of dentistry from a holistic approach is characterized by considering the body as a whole, taking into account mental, social and physiological factors rather than solely the symptoms of an oral issue. At Living Wellness Dental Northland, our goal is to empower and educate clients, assisting them to make informed decisions and take control of their own health and wellness. We clearly identify the materials used at our practice, assess their biocompatibility with the intended client, and outline associated risks. While we acknowledge that holistic dentistry is not recognized by collegial boards, we analyze all current studies and research, and take great strides to perform our procedures in a way that minimizes the impact of our clients’ biological responses.
CEREC Crowns
Our Living Wellness Dental Northland team is committed to achieving the desired result from treatment while tailoring care around each individual client. One way in which we do this is to offer CEREC restorations. Restorative treatments such as inlays, onlays and crowns normally take more than one visit to complete. Impressions taken from the tooth have to be sent to an external lab where fabrication of the restorative device takes a number of days.
Invisalign
Clients of modern dentistry can take advantage of the variety of treatment options now available. In the area of orthodontics, Dr. DeSanti and Dr. Redd use Invisalign technology to help teens and adults correct mild-to-moderate misalignment, paving the way towards better smiles without the need for metal braces.
Invisalign can often produce excellent results in about the same time frame as conventional braces, while ensuring comfort and aesthetics with clear aligners throughout the process. It can correct spacing problems as well as certain bite problems, including open bite, cross-bite, over-bite, and under-bite issues. If your teeth are crowded, crooked, and just not to your liking, Living Wellness Dental Northland about Invisalign treatment.
Gum Disease
Gum disease is a condition dental patients likely feel they hear about all the time. There is a good reason for ongoing discussions on the topic of gum disease. This progressive infection is currently the leading cause of tooth loss in adults around the world. More than half of the adults in North America are affected by gum disease to some extent. Gum disease is so prevalent in today’s society that dentists treat this condition as much or even more often than cavities. Untreated gum disease has been linked to heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and pre-term low birth rate babies.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are restorations used to repair teeth that have been weakened. A tooth that has sustained damage from a fractured amalgam filling, has a large cavity, or has been treated with root canal therapy may be treated with a dental crown. The crown will protect the natural surface of the tooth from further damage. Dental crowns are made from high quality materials and designed take the brunt of chewing force, alleviating pressure on the natural tooth structure.
