Wellness Dentist in West Seattle, WA

We take a holistic and biological approach to dentistry at Holliday Dental Wellness, also known as non-toxic dentistry. What does that mean?

It means that as a natural dentist, we’re not just considering your dental health but also how it integrates and connects with your general health and well-being. It also means providing high-quality dental care with close consideration of the materials we use and the techniques we employ to deliver the most conservative and minimally invasive options.

Some wellness-focused services Dr. Holliday may recommend for you are ozone therapy, biocompatibility testing, laser dentistry, airway or sleep dentistry, and SMART Safe Mercury Removal.

We aim to make dentistry as safe and comfortable as possible for our patients. Non-toxic dentistry prioritizes biocompatibility. Biocompatibility testing in the dental field involves assessing the compatibility of dental materials with the tissues of the oral cavity. This testing is used as a tool to help in making informed decisions on restorative materials. 

Dr. Holliday can order serum biocompatibility testing to identify the materials you are least likely to have sensitivities to before using them for restorations or procedures. We recommend testing for anyone with a history of allergies, sensitivities, or chronic conditions where dental conditions may play a role.

Dental Ozone Therapy in West Seattle

Ozone therapy in dentistry is an innovative treatment used in non-toxic dentistry that helps eliminate harmful bacteria in the mouth that naturally cause tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease without damaging side effects. Medical grade ozone is a super-charged oxygen that is a  powerful antimicrobial that also reduces inflammation and promotes healing.

Ozone treatments can play an integral role in preventive dental services as it is most effective in treating problems like tooth decay and gum disease in their earliest stages.

Some of the procedures Dr. Holliday may combine ozone therapy with are:

• Cavity treatment and prevention
• Tooth sensitivity
• Promote healing of canker sores or other lesions
• Periodontal disease treatment
• Antimicrobial action

As part of our natural dentistry approach, Holliday Dental Wellness offers solutions for patients struggling with snoring, sleep disorders, and airway issues.

Using tools like customized oral appliances and laser therapy, Dr. Holliday can help you manage and sometimes even eliminate snoring and develop your jaw to open your airway for clear breathing while you sleep.

We diagnose and treat the oral contributions to systemic diseases, including medical, dental, cognitive, and mood issues, for dental patients to relieve pain, support sleep, and restore fatigue.

SMART Safe Mercury Removal to Boost Your Health

We follow Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) protocols for removing metal amalgam fillings at Holliday Dental Wellness. This means that our dentist and team follow additional safety measures outlined by The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) for the safe removal of amalgam fillings. This reduces exposure to harmful mercury debris or vapor for our patients and dental team that could be released during the procedure.

Laser dentistry is another tool we use in our natural dentist practice. Dental lasers help us with everything from treating periodontal (gum) disease to providing solutions for patients managing sleep apnea. 

Lasers have been used in dentistry for over 50 years, and their capabilities keep expanding. They have become increasingly popular in dentistry due to their precision, versatility, and the potential to minimize discomfort for patients. Concentrated light and heat combine to provide the utmost precision during treatment, so it’s less invasive, with no need for scalpels. The healing process for patients is also more straightforward and accelerated after a laser dental procedure.
