Holistic Dentistry

There are a lot of different definitions for “holistic dentistry.” The term “holistic” refers to the idea that your oral health and the health of the rest of your body are connected, and that which affects one part of your body can affect the health of other parts. We integrate this approach into all aspects of care, whether you’re visiting for a teeth cleaning in Midtown or more complex procedures.

For example, if you have a metal-amalgam filling, the mercury from the filling could potentially cause toxicity in other parts of your body. Or, if you have gum disease, the inflammation caused by gum disease could contribute to your risk of heart disease.

At Dental Wellness, we use this approach to ensure that your oral health is protected, and that the rest of your body is healthy, too. We want to empower all of our patients with the tools they need for better overall health and wellness, and provide guided, customized treatment plans that help our patients take control of their health.

Kids can benefit just as much as adults from our holistic approach to dentistry in Bergen County. Using a holistic approach, Dr. Moses can track the health and development of your child’s mouth as they age.

At our office, we use special tools and precautions to safely remove metal amalgam (silver) fillings. These fillings are typically made up of more than 50% mercury, which is a toxic metal that has many known dangers to humans.

With SMART amalgam removal, we can quickly remove these fillings safely and restore your teeth with metal-free composite fillings, protecting your overall oral health. Composite fillings also look and feel more natural, so this can improve the appearance of your teeth, too! If you have a dental emergency that requires immediate attention, we also provide emergency dentistry services to ensure you’re taken care of promptly.
