Frequently Asked Questions
How does holistic dentistry approach patient care?
Holistic dentistry takes a broader approach to patient care by considering how oral health may be influenced by lifestyle and personal preferences. It may also consider relevant habits, such as oral hygiene or dietary factors, when planning dental care.
This approach to care may involve discussing alternative materials, including options that use alternatives to fluoride or amalgam, depending on patient preference and clinical needs. When existing fillings require replacement for clinical reasons, our dentists use established protocols for amalgam removal. As part of this broader approach to dental care, holistic dentistry seeks to support oral health through patient-centred treatment planning.
What lifestyle or nutritional advice might a holistic dentist provide?
Some dental practitioners may discuss lifestyle or dietary factors when these are relevant to oral health. This can include limiting processed sugars, maintaining hydration to balance saliva, or incorporating foods that contain nutrients essential for tooth structure.
In some cases, discussions may include breathing habits or functional factors that can influence oral health. This may be particularly relevant for children as their oral development continues.
These discussions are part of an approach that takes into account relevant daily habits during treatment planning. Advice is based on clinical findings, patient preferences, and current oral health needs.
How is holistic dentistry different from traditional dental care?
Holistic dentistry considers a wider range of factors when planning care. While conventional dentistry focuses on teeth and gums, holistic approaches may also take into account lifestyle or patient preferences that could influence oral health. This broader perspective can be seen as a form of whole-body dental care, linking oral health with general well-being.
The table below outlines the key differences between the two types of dental care:
| Aspect | Traditional Dentistry | Holistic Dentistry |
| Primary Focus | Teeth and gums | Oral health with consideration of patient preferences |
| Materials Used | May include amalgam and fluoride | Options may include non-amalgam and fluoride-free materials where appropriate |
| Treatment Style | Reactive—addresses existing issues | Includes preventive approaches alongside management of dental concerns |
| Health Considerations | Limited to the mouth | May consider lifestyle factors that can influence oral health |
| Restorative Decisions | Based mainly on durability and appearance | Material choices may be influenced by durability and patient preferences |
| Patient Preferences | May not account for material sensitivities or personal health beliefs | Considers individual sensitivities, beliefs, and long-term health goals |
This approach may appeal to individuals seeking treatment options that reflect their personal preferences and values.
Is holistic dentistry suitable for children and families?
Yes, holistic dental care can be suitable for children and families, depending on clinical needs and preferences. People who prefer fluoride-free treatment or want to explore different material options in their care often choose this approach.
This model may be suitable across all life stages. Some parents choose a dentist with a holistic approach for children, with care tailored to oral health and development. Practitioners assess oral health in relation to age, dietary factors, and oral habits. Where relevant, issues such as bite alignment or mouth breathing may also be discussed.
Treatment materials are selected based on the patient’s clinical needs, medical history, and personal preferences. All care is provided in accordance with current clinical standards and tailored to meet individual needs. Some families choose this model because it allows consideration of material preferences and treatment choices aligned with their values.
Do you offer fluoride dental alternative options?
Yes, at Crown Holistic Dental, we provide fluoride-free alternatives for patients who prefer them. This may include remineralisation treatments using calcium- or phosphate-based compounds. Practitioners may also provide diet or hygiene advice where relevant to oral health.
Treatment discussions are based on clinical findings and individual circumstances. Preventive measures may be suggested if they are relevant and in line with recognised dental care guidelines.
What materials do you use for fillings and restorations?
Our clinic offers a range of restorative materials selected for their clinical performance and compatibility with the oral environment. Material choices may be discussed where relevant to patient preferences and specific treatment considerations. Each material is chosen based on the type of treatment, location in the mouth, and individual requirements.
- Composite Resin:
Composite resin is a tooth-coloured material frequently used for fillings in visible or moderately stressed areas. It bonds directly to the tooth structure, allowing for conservative preparation, and it is valued for its natural appearance and versatility. - Ceramic-Based Materials:
Ceramics such as porcelain or zirconia are commonly used for crowns, inlays, and onlays. These materials are often selected for their durability, strength, and appearance, particularly in larger or long-term restorations. - Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC):
GIC can be used in low-stress areas or for temporary restorations. It gradually releases small amounts of minerals and may be used where moisture control is limited. - Fluoride-Free Options:
For patients seeking to avoid fluoride, we offer alternative materials as part of our approach to fluoride-free dentistry. These include fluoride-free composites and ceramics, selected based on clinical considerations and patient preferences.
Our clinic does not use amalgam fillings, though we may manage existing ones when clinically necessary. We offer restorative materials, such as tooth-coloured composites or ceramics, that are selected in line with clinical needs. If existing amalgam fillings require replacement, we follow established protocols for amalgam removal to manage the procedure appropriately.
Can I still get regular dental services like check-ups and cleans?
General dental services, including check-ups, cleans, and preventive care, are available and delivered in accordance with clinical standards. These appointments may include fluoride-free options upon request, as well as assessments of overall oral health and risk factors.
Check-ups may also involve evaluating bite function, signs of inflammation, and other oral factors where clinically relevant. Materials are selected based on the patient’s history, treatment goals, and compatibility with their needs.
Dental care is provided with attention to comfort and personal preferences, guided by evidence-based recommendations. Preventive visits remain an important part of maintaining oral health at every life stage.
Can I use my health funds for holistic dental treatments?
Yes, you can usually use your private health fund for general dental treatments provided by a dentist with a holistic approach. If your level of cover includes these services—such as check-ups, cleans, fillings, and other common procedures—you can generally claim them.
Because every health fund and policy is different, it’s crucial to check with your provider before your appointment. Our team can provide treatment item numbers in advance if required. Patients can directly reach out to their health fund to verify the services that fall under their policy. This information can help you better understand your care options and any potential out-of-pocket costs.
What should I expect during my first visit to a holistic dentist?
A first visit may include a detailed assessment of oral health. Treatment planning may also take into account medical history, oral habits, and sensitivities to dental materials. The aim is to provide care tailored to your individual oral health needs.
Comprehensive Oral Examination
The appointment typically begins with a detailed examination of the teeth, gums, soft tissues, and jaw. This helps identify any signs of decay, gum disease, inflammation, or structural issues. The examination provides the foundation for understanding your current oral health status and informs further assessments or treatment planning.Full-Mouth X-Rays (OPG)
Panoramic X-rays may be taken if clinically required. These images assist in assessing bone structure and tooth roots. They may also reveal concerns that are not visible during an exam, such as impactions or localised infections. X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary and help support accurate diagnosis and planning.Digital Photographic Imaging
Photographs are often used to record the condition of your teeth and gums at the time of the visit. These images can assist with diagnosis, treatment planning, and ongoing monitoring. Visual records also support transparent communication between practitioner and patient.Breathing, Bite, and Airway Assessment
Where relevant, the dentist may assess breathing habits, bite alignment, and airway function as part of a comprehensive oral evaluation.Discussion of Treatment Preferences and Health Goals
You will have time to discuss your health history, concerns, and desired outcomes. If you have material sensitivities or wish to avoid substances such as fluoride or amalgam, these can be discussed in detail. The dentist may discuss available treatment options during the consultation. A care plan can be developed based on clinical findings and relevant preferences.
Do I need a referral to see a dentist with a holistic approach?
No referral is required to schedule an appointment with a dentist who takes a holistic approach. Patients may enquire directly about general care, second opinions, or different treatment options.
Some patients seek this type of care when exploring different materials or treatment preferences, such as fluoride-free or amalgam-free options. If another health professional has referred you, collaborative care can be coordinated as needed.
Can I switch to a dentist with a holistic approach if I’ve always had mainstream care?
Yes, patients may consider a different care approach if they have sensitivities to certain dental materials or personal treatment preferences. This transition can include a review of past treatments and patient preferences.
You do not need to start over—existing dental records can often be reviewed and incorporated into your new care plan. A dentist may assess an individual’s oral health status and review their previous treatment. Where suitable, other options may be considered without disrupting continuity of care.
What questions should I ask at my first holistic dental appointment?
The initial consultation offers an opportunity to review oral health and discuss factors that may influence treatment decisions.
The following questions may be helpful:
- What materials are used in fillings or restorations?
Ask whether options are available for patients with chemical sensitivities or material concerns. - Do you provide fluoride-free or amalgam-free alternatives?
This information can be relevant for patients who want to avoid certain substances. - Can bite function or breathing habits affect my oral condition?
Understanding how these factors relate to dental care can aid in informed decision-making. - How are my medical history and daily habits considered in the care process?
These factors may be reviewed during treatment planning. - How are medical history and lifestyle factors included in the care process?
This may include reviewing your medical history and daily habits as part of planning. - What are the recommended home care practices?
Ask how to maintain oral health between visits using daily hygiene or dietary measures.
During your visit, we may discuss clinical findings and answer relevant questions to clarify treatment considerations. If you are seeking holistic dentistry in Joondalup, our clinic offers care that considers patient preferences and relevant clinical needs. Treatment is planned based on clinical findings and relevant preferences.
