Holistic Dentistry
What Is Holistic Dentistry?
When you visit the dentist, you'll likely receive a thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, and jaw. If you have an issue such as needing a root canal or are dealing with gum disease symptoms, treatment is provided to improve your oral health and hopefully stop the symptoms from reoccurring in the future.
Holistic dentistry takes it a step further by finding how your oral health may be impacting your overall health. We try to uncover the underlying issue instead of just the symptoms. What kind of lifestyle do you lead? How do you sleep? Could you possibly have inflammation or be affected by toxic materials in your dental fillings?
By taking a full-body approach to dentistry, we help patients experience better health overall. Untreated dental issues can cause many medical conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and depression. By being proactive and leaving no stone untouched, our team in San Angelo can help you achieve greater well-being.
The Extraordinary Benefits of Holistic Dentistry
Comprehensive Approach
Holistic dentistry looks a bit different for every patient. After examining your teeth and learning about your lifestyle, Dr. Teja may suggest changing your diet, addressing neck or jaw pain, or reducing your stress, as this can all affect your health. These are suggestions not found in the traditional dentist's office.No Harmful Materials
Mercury is often used in dental restorations, but extensive research has proven how harmful it can be to your body. Our holistic dentist only uses non-toxic and biocompatible materials in our fillings, crowns, and other restorations to ensure the healthiest mouth possible.High Tech Equipment
Traditional x-rays emit high levels of radiation and expose patients to unnecessary risks. Our San Angelo office in Texas uses the safest and most efficient dentistry technology to ensure a seamless visit. For example, we can create custom dental crowns in just one appointment.Fluoride-Free Treatments
In large doses, fluoride can have adverse effects on the body. Our holistic dentist uses fluoride-free treatments to boost your oral health while reducing potential danger. We can also recommend natural toothpaste and mouthwash you can safely use at home without worry."The Best Dental Care in Town"

I had a really good experience at Dr. Teja's office, he and his staff are amazing. I went there specifically to get the Mercury fillings removed because I wasn't sure if they were all removed by my previous dentist. Dr. Teja is sincere and makes you feel comfortable during this type of difficult procedure. Also, he is SMART certified which is so important when it comes to removes Mercury fillings in a safe way. I will recommend Dr. Teja to anyone in a heartbeat

Explore Our Holistic Dental Treatments
At our San Angelo office in Texas, we offer a range of dental procedures under one roof. The following are some of our popular holistic treatments:
Sleep Apnea
Are you dealing with breathing problems while you sleep, whether snoring or waking up gasping for air? Our holistic dentist can create a custom oral appliance to significantly improve your symptoms so you can get a better night's rest. Sleep apnea increases the risk of certain medical conditions such as high blood pressure, stroke, and can cause weight gain, so getting treatment from a professional is vital.
Platelet Rich Fibrin
If a patient undergoes a tooth extraction or other oral surgery, platelet rich fibrin (PRF) helps accelerate the healing process by using the patient's own blood. PRP reduces inflammation in the area and also helps the jawbone to regenerate. Dr. Teja is the only dentist in the San Angelo area that provides this revolutionary treatment.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns provide an extra layer of protection and reinforcement to a weakened tooth. We can create stunning crowns in one visit, thanks to our CAD/CAM dentistry technology. We use bio-friendly materials such as porcelain to ensure safe and lasting results that don't jeopardize the health of our patients.
