wholeHEALTH Biomimetic and Biological Family Dentistry

wholeHEALTH Biomimetic and Biological Family Dentistry, located in Pewaukee, WI, is a dental practice that distinguishes itself by integrating two advanced philosophies: Biomimetic Dentistry and Biological Dentistry. This unique blend emphasizes conservative, minimally invasive treatments that support both oral health and the patient's overall systemic well-being. Biomimetic Dentistry at wholeHEALTH focuses on "mimicking life." This means restoring damaged or decayed teeth with materials and techniques that closely replicate the natural tooth's structure, function, and strength. The goal is to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible, reducing the need for aggressive procedures like traditional crowns and root canals. By using advanced adhesive protocols and layering techniques with materials like composite resins, they aim to create restorations that behave like natural teeth, distributing stress effectively and preventing future fractures or sensitivity. This approach often leads to more durable and long-lasting results, minimizing the "dental cycle" of repeated repairs. Biological Dentistry, also known as holistic dentistry, views oral health as intrinsically linked to the entire body's health. wholeHEALTH Biomimetic and Biological Family Dentistry adheres to this principle by prioritizing biocompatible, non-toxic materials and procedures. They are committed to being mercury-free and mercury-safe, offering protocols for the safe removal of amalgam fillings. Their focus extends to utilizing natural therapies and diagnostic tools, such as digital radiographs (with significantly reduced radiation exposure) and 3D imaging, to ensure treatments are as safe and beneficial as possible for the patient's overall health. Services under biological dentistry also include ozone dentistry for treating infections, biological periodontal therapy, and supporting biocompatible materials testing. The combination of these two approaches means that wholeHEALTH Biomimetic and Biological Family Dentistry strives to "fix it right the first time" by using scientifically proven modern techniques to seal and preserve teeth. They aim to avoid the unnecessary grinding and trauma associated with traditional crowns and have a high success rate in preventing the need for root canals. Their services include stress-reduced composite restorations, air abrasion for less invasive cavity preparation, biological extractions, zirconia implants, and non-metal partials. They also offer biological dental hygiene, including Guided Biofilm Therapy and Oral DNA Testing, to address the root causes of oral health issues. The philosophy at wholeHEALTH is centered on tooth-conserving dentistry, long-lasting results, and a commitment to patient education. They aim to empower patients to take ownership of their oral health, recognizing that healthy teeth contribute significantly to overall vitality.
