Biological Dentistry
What Is Biological Dentistry?
NIHA dentists have practiced biological dentistry in the Washington, D. C. area for 25 years. Biological or holistic dentists respect that the mouth is an integral part of the entire body. Dental treatments should impact the rest of the body as little as possible. Biological dentistry uses natural, or biocompatible materials that will not adversely affect a patient’s immune system. The emphasis is on promoting good oral health for good overall health and wellness.
Sometimes, traditional and commonly performed dental procedures may leave people with chronic problems or other health consequences. If there is disease we will look for the underlying cause that may have its origin in the mouth. Often, oral health and dental issues may relate to overall health within the body.
Mercury Free Dentists and Holistic Biological Dentistry
Holistic biological dentists are mercury free dentists who promote treatments that are safe and effective, with minimal to no side-effects. We use dental materials that are natural, non-toxic and bio-compatible.
The body’s innate capacity to heal itself (self correct) is utilized by providing appropriate immune system support and neurological support, proper nutrition, and if necessary, by reducing an infectious load.

Replace Those Missing Teeth with Ceramic Dental Implants
Your teeth serve many functions. Obviously they are critical for chewing and esthetics but more importantly if teeth are not replaced especially posterior or back teeth, that empty space will allow neighboring teeth to drift into the space formerly occupied by the extracted tooth. Without replacing that missing tooth the neighboring teeth above and to the sides will move into that space altering the way your teeth come together. That altered bite changes jaw alignment, blood flow to and from the brain as well as alters the nervous system function throughout the head and neck. Bite changes will eventually disrupt the TMJ or jaw joint.
