What is biological / natural / holistic dentistry?

IIn practicing biological dentistry, we follow the ancient Oath set forward by Hippocrates, the father of medicine:  

 Διαιτήμασί τε χρήσομαι ἐπ᾽ ὠφελείῃ καμνόντων κατὰ δύναμιν καὶ κρίσιν ἐμὴν, ἐπὶ δηλήσει δὲ καὶ ἀδικίῃ εἴρξειν.

_{(I will use those regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgment, and I will do no harm or injustice to them)}

In Roman times, the Oath in Latin “PRIMUM NON NOCERE”  (FIRST DO NO HARM) simplified the original oath, which should guide all practitioners in their approach in treating their patients.

In remaining true to these guidelines, in our office the patient comes first, and is evaluated as a whole person rather than a set of teeth.

A blend of laser, cosmetic, homeopathic, and family dentistry is applied following biological, or holistic principles. This, combined with highly individualized treatment plans, results in the best possible care for patients of all ages. We are a mercury-free office. Our facility is spacious and equipped with the latest technology, including digital X-rays, 3D con-beam tomography, 3D printing, CEREC technology (same-day crowns and onlays), and the dental Laser (WATERLASE by BIOLASE).  The internal space and treatment rooms are designed meticulously to impart a sense of serenity and comfort to those seeking our services. Dr. Sarkissian’s artwork lines the walls, rather than offensive dental posters. We want patients to enter and feel as if they are inside a familiar home. We have overhead screens in every treatment room for patients to be entertained and distracted during treatment.
