Holistic Dentistry Explained
A common misconception Dr. Gentry often hears is that patients wonder whether she also practices conventional dentistry, providing services such as dental fillings, crowns, or other restorative treatments. The answer is yes.
Dr. Gentry provides all the services you would find at a general dentist's practice, using the healthiest methods possible and considering the patient's whole-body health. In fact, when she places restorations like fillings or crowns, she uses biocompatibility testing to ensure she's using the safest materials possible for the patient's unique needs.
Holistic dentists also focus on a cleaner work environment, using things like air purifiers and the SMART technique for mercury removal to protect their patients, themselves, and their staff. At Gentry Dental, we're proud to bring our patients the latest holistic technology and services for their health and wellness.
