Our holistic dental office gets great reviews in the Highland Village area for good reason

There is one major component of holistic dentistry that sets it apart from the general practices found around the world: our consideration of a patient’s overall wellbeing. When we treat a dental problem, we do so in the context of general health, knowing that what we do to correct the issue will also impact the smile as well as the patient’s emotional and physical wellness. To us, a health mouth is a vital component to a healthy body.

The holistic dental office of Dr. Jonathan Golab continually receives outstanding reviews. We are proud to offer patients from Flower Mound, Highland Village, Argyle, and other areas with care that addresses the big picture. The awards and recognition that Dr. Golab has received throughout his years of practice are indicative of his caring nature and his commitment to his patients.

One of the most recognized aspects of holistic dentistry is the choice of materials used to repair teeth; specifically, the avoidance of amalgam dental fillings. In addition to this mercury-filled material, your holistic dentist will also avoid other metal restorations, and sometimes specific restorations as a whole. For instance, Dr. Golab prefers to repair extensive tooth damage with metal-free inlays or onlays than to cap the damaged tooth with a dental crown.

Holistic dentistry offers a wider view of oral health and dentistry in general:

• The dental exam does not look only at the teeth and gums to identify cavities or gum disease, it is structured in such as way to notice the signs of conditions such as TMJ disorder and sleep apnea, as well. If such problems are identified, your dentist will explain the potential cause and will develop a plan to improve health and functionality.
• Understanding the direct danger of mercury exposure, the holistic dentist will use specific protocol in the removal of mercury amalgam fillings. Many dentists advise their patients to leave amalgams in place due to the excessive exposure that would occur if the filling material were to be drilled out. Following the guidelines of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, Dr. Golab cuts amalgams out in larger chunks, cooling the material as he goes so that mercury vapors are not encouraged. With these and additional precautions, it is possible to replace unhealthy amalgam fillings without allowing undue exposure.
• In the holistic dental practice, advanced technology is used to facilitate the safe, effective diagnosis and treatment of dental conditions. Dr. Golab uses high-definition digital imaging, intra-oral cameras, and laser technology to achieve the most accurate view of teeth, gums, and other structures.
