Integrative Dentistry of Chester County

Integrative dentistry of Chester County is a distinguished dental clinic located in Exton, PA, committed to a unique and comprehensive approach to oral healthcare known as integrative, holistic, or biological dentistry. Their philosophy centers on the profound connection between oral health and overall systemic well-being. The clinic, previously led by Dr. Donald Robbins (retired) and now by Dr. Patrick DeForno, emphasizes "biosafe dentistry," a method that prioritizes the use of non-toxic, biocompatible materials and minimally invasive techniques to promote the body's natural healing abilities. Key aspects of their practice include being a mercury-free and fluoride-free office. They specialize in the safe removal of amalgam (mercury) fillings, employing advanced protocols and air filtration systems to protect both patients and staff from mercury vapor exposure. They also exclusively use white, bonded, and safe restorative materials, avoiding metals like nickel and beryllium. Services offered extend beyond conventional dentistry to include alternative materials for dental restorations, dental implants (often ceramic/zirconia as a biocompatible alternative to titanium), endodontic treatment (root canal therapy), and ozone therapy. Ozone therapy is utilized for its ability to kill viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens, and all water used in their treatment rooms is infused with ozone. The clinic also performs intra-oral mercury vapor level testing for new patients. Integrative Dentistry of Chester County focuses on prevention and addressing the root causes of dental issues, considering factors such as diet, oral microbiome imbalances, systemic inflammation, and stress. They provide personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's health history, sensitivities, and wellness goals. The practice aims to create a welcoming and reassuring environment, with a strong emphasis on patient comfort and education. Their team, including Dr. DeForno, clinical supervisor Dodie, and office manager Denise, works to ensure a seamless and comfortable experience for all patients.
