Holistic Dentistry FAQs

A biological dentist takes a whole-body approach to dental care, recognizing that the health of the mouth is intimately connected to the overall health of the body. Unlike conventional dentistry which may focus on treating symptoms, biological dentistry seek to identify and address the root cause of oral health issues. Additionally, biological dentists prioritize the use of biocompatible materials and strive to minimize the body's toxic load, promoting a more holistic approach to healthcare.

At Holistic Smiles Dental Wellness, our fees are thoughtfully set to reflect the time, care, and expertise we devote to each patient and treatment session. While we use similar procedure codes for insurance purposes, we do not adhere to the standard Canadian dental fee guide. Payment for services are due at the time of your appointment. We do not accept payment directly from insurance companies; however, we are happy to submit claim on your behalf or provide you with the necessary codes and paperwork so you can submit a claim to your insurance for possible reimbursement. For fee estimates or to discuss your individual needs, please call our office. We are always here to help clarify costs and ensure you have the information you need before scheduling care.
