Biologic Dentistry

Biologic Dentistry, based in Acworth, Georgia, is a leading dental practice committed to the principles of biological dentistry. This philosophy, also known as holistic or integrative dentistry, moves beyond traditional dental care by recognizing the profound interconnection between oral health and the health of the entire body. The practice's core belief is that the mouth is a gateway to systemic health, and treatments should support overall wellness rather than just addressing symptoms. At the heart of Biologic Dentistry's approach is the unwavering commitment to using biocompatible and non-toxic materials. Unlike conventional dentistry that may utilize substances like mercury amalgam fillings, Biologic Dentistry rigorously avoids such materials, opting for safer alternatives like ceramic or composite fillings. They are highly skilled in safe mercury removal procedures, adhering to strict protocols to minimize patient exposure to mercury vapors. The practice offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to their holistic philosophy. These include, but are not limited to, safe mercury removal, ozone therapy (a natural solution for disinfection and healing), biocompatibility testing to ensure materials are harmonious with an individual's biology, and minimally invasive techniques to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible. They also provide general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry services, all while maintaining their focus on whole-body health. This includes an on-site dental lab where Dr. Hamel creates his own restorations for optimal aesthetics and quality. Biologic Dentistry emphasizes personalized patient care, taking the time to understand each individual's unique needs and goals. They prioritize patient comfort, aiming to create a relaxed and at-ease environment during appointments. The team is known for its professionalism, caring demeanor, and attentiveness, with many patients praising their gentle approach and clear explanations of procedures. The historical roots of biological dentistry can be traced back to pioneers like Dr. Weston A. Price and later, in the mid-1980s, Dr. Gary Verigin and Dr. Ed Arana, who sought to integrate the body's natural healing abilities into dental care, drawing inspiration from German Biological Medicine. Biologic Dentistry embodies this modern evolution, blending cutting-edge technology with these established holistic principles. Their dedication to reducing toxins, promoting natural healing, and considering lifestyle factors like nutrition underscore their commitment to optimizing patient health beyond just the oral cavity. Reviews consistently highlight the practice's high level of service, professionalism, and the genuine care extended by Dr. Hamel, Dr. Vita, and their entire staff.
