Holistic dentistry in Las Vegas

What is holistic dentistry?

Holistic dentistry, also called biological dentistry, recognizes that your oral health is connected to your overall wellness. Every treatment decision takes into account how it may affect the rest of your body.

At Four Seasons Dental Spa, that means mercury-free options, the most biocompatible materials available, and personalized care that can be coordinated with your other physicians. The goal is to help you take an active role in your own health.

Why materials matter

The World Health Organization lists mercury among the ten chemicals of major public health concern. Exposure has been linked to effects on the nervous, digestive and immune systems, and on the kidneys, skin, eyes and lungs. It can also affect the health of children in the womb.

Mercury is still found in traditional silver amalgam fillings. The European Union banned most uses of dental amalgam from 2025, and in 2020 the FDA recommended that people at higher risk avoid new amalgam fillings when possible. Dr. Wright avoids amalgam entirely and uses the least toxic restorative materials available.

What sets a holistic dentist apart

• No amalgam or mercury fillings
• Safe, accredited removal of existing mercury fillings
• Knowledge and consideration of heavy metal issues
• Integrative care coordinated with other health professionals
• Nutrition and other preventive, non-toxic therapies
• TMJ therapy
• Diagnosis and treatment of cavitations
• Attention to breathing and airway issues

Asking questions about a root canal?

Many patients come to us after watching the documentary The Root Cause. If you have a root-canaled tooth and want to understand your options, Dr. Wright will examine it, explain what he finds and talk you through every choice. Book a consultation.

A truly holistic practice

Many dentists call themselves holistic simply because they don't place mercury. True holistic care starts with knowledge: advanced diagnostic exams and testing, and a treatment plan designed to promote optimum health through integrative care.
