Wellness Dentistry with Your Whole Body Wellness in Mind
Welcome to our Center for Integrative Wellness and Cosmetic Dentistry, the dental practice of Dr. Katie, Dr. Minh Luu and our orthodontic associate, Dr. Bar Nguyen. Our family-friendly dental practice is located in Katy, TX, and we strive to provide the most natural, non-invasive, and conservative dentistry possible.
Dr. Katie and Dr. Luu believe that each patient should have choices when it comes to how their mouths look and feel. We present every treatment option, along with their benefits and limitations, because educated patients make realistic decisions that work for their lifestyles.
What Is Biological Dentistry?
Whenever possible, we use the least reactive materials for dental restorations and dental prosthetics. While many people can tolerate metals and chemicals, some people cannot, and those patients who prefer non-metal components in their mouths deserve to have that option. The latest technology, such as T-scan to evaluate the bite (occlusion) and take-home sleep tests go far beyond run-of-the-mill, patchwork dentistry. Proper bite function and sleep patterns reduce headaches, fatigue, and improve restorative sleep for ideal health and an improved quality of life.
Dr. Katie and Dr. Luu are particularly gifted in the art of dental bonding, using body-friendly, BPA-free composite. Bonding is the most natural way to restore the smile because it adds to the existing healthy tooth structure without the need for invasive restructuring of the teeth. Because composite comes in many shades, matching the color of your teeth is seamless.
Whole-Body Health and Wellness
Wellness dentistry focuses on the mouth and the health of the teeth, gums, and bone, and it also recognizes the dramatic role that oral health has on the rest of the body. Conditions like periodontal disease complicate the health of other systems in the body – from the heart to the lungs – and even the brain!
Recent research links gum health to diabetes, heart disease, and even Alzheimer’s disease. Because of its inflammatory nature, even rheumatoid arthritis can worsen when your gums are infected. One of our many screening tools, the phase-contrast microscope, help us identify if there are bacteria in your saliva that could be contributing to other issues.
Do You Want Excellent Oral Health and a Beautiful Smile?
At our Center for Integrative Wellness and Cosmetic Dentistry, we focus on bringing patients’ oral health to an ideal level – not just treating problems as they arise. By being proactive, we can help our cherished patients enjoy their best life and their best smile.
Naturally, we will treat dental emergencies and other issues we all face. We will also help you develop a plan that gives you control over your oral health with a focus on prevention and keeping teeth strong. Everything from the type of materials we use to nutritional counseling that supports healthy teeth and bones is thoughtfully planned out and discussed with every patient.
