Dr Piela Holistic Dentistry

Dr. Piela Holistic dentistry is a dental clinic located in Lake Como, NJ, dedicated to providing a comprehensive, whole-body approach to oral health. The practice's philosophy, often referred to as "biological dentistry," emphasizes the interconnectedness of oral health with a patient's overall well-being. They believe that dental issues are not isolated problems but can be linked to systemic conditions and that treatments should support the body's natural healing processes. The clinic distinguishes itself from traditional dentistry by utilizing biocompatible materials that are free from metals and other potentially harmful substances. For instance, they offer ceramic implants made from zirconia, BPA-free fillings, and metal-free bridges and crowns. A key service is their Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART), which follows a strict protocol to safely remove mercury-containing fillings and replace them with healthier alternatives. Dr. Piela Holistic Dentistry employs advanced technology and innovative treatments to ensure patient safety and comfort. This includes the use of FOTONA laser treatments, which offer precision and comfort for a variety of dental needs, as well as Dexis 3800W intraoral scanners for highly precise results. They are also a proponent of natural healing therapies like ozone therapy, which is used for decay prevention, gum disease management, and to enhance root canal therapy. Another specialized service is their holistic cavitation treatment, which addresses jawbone cavitations—areas of dead or diseased bone—with a focus on healing and regeneration. The practice offers a wide range of services, including general dental care, cosmetic dentistry, and restorative procedures. This includes holistic teeth cleanings, biomimetic dentistry (which uses materials to mimic the natural tooth structure), and various denture solutions, including implant-retained options. Their patient-centered approach involves a thorough assessment of a patient's diet, lifestyle, and medical history to create personalized treatment plans that go beyond just addressing symptoms. The team is committed to providing compassionate, comprehensive care in a supportive and eco-friendly environment.
