Some patients wonder what a holistic approach to dentistry is and how it is applied to general dentistry. A Holistic approach or “biological approach” refers to an emphasis on the material in dentistry and its connection to the overall well-being. At Living Wellness Dental in Calgary, AB, Dr. Kindal Robertson and his team offer a comprehensive biological approach to dental care, meaning they treat more than just your symptoms. They use biocompatible material and perform material sensitivity testing recognizing the interconnectedness of the mouth and the rest of the body. They tailor all treatment to each client, meaning they customize your care to suit your needs and biology.

Dr. Kindal Robertson is part of a team treating clients for a wide range of issues at their office in Calgary, AB. At Living Wellness Dental, the goal is to make sure patients Live Well. While focusing on offering effective treatment, they work to empower each client with information through clear communication. Your dentist will work jointly with you to understand your needs and goals and answer your questions along the way, making you an active participant in your planned care.

The Benefits of Holistic Approach to Dental Care

Biological approach or “holistic approach” to dentistry refers to the practice of taking the complete patient into account when treating their dental needs, including:

• Your mental well-being
• The social practices of the office
• Your unique physiology

Dr. Robertson believes your oral health is an essential part of and influences your overall health, meaning it directly contributes to your body’s wellness. Your entire body reacts when you are undergoing treatment. Hence, a biological approach to dentistry emphasizes the importance of not only using biocompatible materials but going to lengths to reduce the impact of the entire body’s natural responses when providing treatment. That means gentler treatments and less stressful dentist’s visits.

While your smile’s look and feel are critical, your oral health can also impact your overall happiness. For this reason, Dr. Robertson uses procedures and biocompatible materials tailored to suit your body’s specific physiology, keeping the balance of your body chemistry in mind with every treatment offered. He determines the materials used for each patient based on the results of precise sensitivity tests, letting him know which materials your body responds to well.

The team at Living Wellness Dental – Northern uses new, biocompatible materials like natural-looking resin fillings instead of metal fillings that contain amalgam. Living Wellness Dental’s hallmark is their natural approach to dentistry, providing treatment to your unique needs.
