At London Periodontics and Implant Dentistry (LPID), holistic dentistry is more than just a trend — it’s a philosophy deeply ingrained in our approach to patient care. We’ve been practising holistic dentistry long before it became popular, focusing on the interconnectedness of oral health and overall well-being.
We invite you to watch our video on the patient journey or schedule an appointment to visit our clinic. We would be delighted to meet you, answer your questions, and help you determine if LPID is the right choice for your dental care.
What Makes LPID a Holistic Dental Practice?
Here are five key reasons why LPID is recognized as a holistic dental practice:
1. Prevention Over Intervention
At LPID, we believe that less is more when it comes to dental treatments. Each tooth is a vital, living part of your body, and the more treatments it undergoes, the weaker it can become. Our specialists emphasise prevention and early intervention, aiming to preserve your natural teeth as much as possible. By focusing on the root causes of dental issues, we can address both the cause and symptoms effectively, ensuring long-term oral health.
2. Whole-Body Connection
Your teeth are not isolated; they are connected to your overall health and well-being. Dental conditions and treatments can significantly impact the rest of your body, which is why we consider the holistic effects of every procedure. We avoid using harmful substances like mercury amalgam and carefully evaluate how gum disease and other conditions might affect your overall health. Our goal is not just a healthy mouth, but a healthy, happy body.
3. Comfortable and Stress-Free Care
We understand that visiting the dentist can be a daunting experience for many. At LPID, we strive to make your visits as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Our team of specialists works together in a relaxing environment, ensuring that each patient receives expert care in a calm and predictable setting. We treat the patient as a whole, taking into account your emotional and physical comfort during every visit.
4. Eco-Friendly Practices
Being eco-friendly is a core value at LPID. We are a mercury-free and mercury-safe office, using specialised equipment to prevent mercury from entering the public water supply. We also strive to minimise our environmental impact by reducing paper usage, limiting the use of harsh chemicals, and choosing sterilizable materials over disposable plastics whenever possible. Additionally, we recycle precious and scrap metals used in dentistry, donating the proceeds to children’s charities.
5. Patient Empowerment
At LPID, you are always in charge of your dental care. Our team of highly skilled and experienced specialists is dedicated to connecting with each patient on a personal and professional level. We believe in clear and open communication, ensuring that you are fully informed and confident in every decision about your oral health. We respect your needs, values, and beliefs, and work with you to make the best choices for your care.
