Biological Dentistry
Personalized, Natural Dental Solutions for Lasting Health
While the teeth, gums, jaw, and head are a holistic dentist’s area of expertise, Dr. Fattah also considers the balance of the entire body’s health during your evaluation. Our practice was born from the idea that all aspects of a person’s health exist in a closely interconnected relationship in a natural, engaging way.
Why Choose Biological Dentistry Over Traditional Dental Care?
Biological dentistry goes deeper than traditional care by seeking the root causes of oral concerns—factoring in lifestyle, sleep, nutrition, and systemic balance. We use non-toxic, biocompatible materials, minimally invasive techniques, and collaborate with integrative health specialists for total wellness.
What does this look like?
- Understanding existing health concerns
- Understanding lifestyle habits
- Partnering with other practitioners to promote optimal full body health
- Using biologically compatible materials
- Discuss the systemic oral health relationship
- Evaluating sleep quality and breathing
Our goal for your treatment is to help you achieve optimal health. We work with naturopathic physicians, ENTs, functional nutritionists, myofunctional therapists, sleep physicians, and chiropractors so you can live a happier and healthier life.
Bristle Saliva Test: Unlocking Your Oral Microbiome
As part of our whole-body approach, our Bristle Saliva Test analyzes your unique oral microbiome. We use this to tailor nutrition and treatment plans to address hidden deficiencies and support a healthier mouth and body.
Holistic & Biological Dental Care
Dr. Fattah performs many of the same treatments as professionals working in a traditional setting; however, his holistic focus involves more layers than what patients typically expect when seeking care elsewhere. Scottsdale Family Smiles provides cleanings, fillings, and corrections. In addition to standard care, Dr. Fattah may also evaluate a patient’s airway, explain the mouth-to-body connection to patients, and practice a systemic approach to human health.
On top of this, our holistic dental practice utilizes safer materials than what is commonly used in dentistry. For example, our fillings are metal and BPA-free and we measure the case-by-case efficacy. Additionally, the Scottsdale team aims to handle dental surgeries in a minimally invasive way whenever possible, only resorting to surgery when simpler treatments are not an option. Our ultimate goal is to focus on our patients’ whole-body well-being.
As often as possible, our staff strives to offer natural remedies and whole-body treatments.
At Scottsdale Family Smiles, we incorporate advanced cleaning and preventative treatments such as ozone therapy and hydroxyapatite varnish into our biological dentistry practice. Ozone therapy uses ozone gas to kill bacteria and promote healing — without disruptive or potentially harmful chemicals — to provide an effective treatment for infections and inflammations in the mouth, reducing the need for antibiotics. For holistic prevention, our team uses hydroxyapatite varnish, a fluoride-free treatment, to strengthen tooth enamel and protect against decay. This treatment provides a protective barrier while supporting the remineralization process to help build a healthier and stronger smile.
