Our Holistic Approach - Bluffton, SC

Under the guidance of our founder, Dr. Richard Porcelli, we’ve developed a holistic approach to treatment that encompasses everything from minimally invasive procedures that preserve the integrity of your mouth, to natural materials that safeguard your current and future health. It also includes laser dentistry and the CT scan equipment we use for diagnostic evaluations. With holistic dentistry (or biological dentistry), we carefully choose materials and methods that will enhance and protect the physical wellbeing of your entire body.

One key way we achieve this is by offering biocompatibility testing, where we confirm the materials and devices we use during procedures are completely safe for you before we use them. Through an independent lab, we verify that they are free of toxins that can harm your immune and nervous systems, for example. No treatment we offer will benefit you if the tools we use for it can compromise your health. We’ll make sure you have the peace of mind you need to proceed.

In addition, we understand how your diet impacts not only your oral health, but your overall body health as well—what we call the mouth-body connection. To protect both, we offer nutritional counseling from a highly trained specialist who can help you make better dietary choices and enjoy a healthier life going forward.
