About Holistic and Biological Dentistry
A holistic dentist such as Dr. Thomas H. Seal, DDS, is one that believes that oral health is connected to overall health. They also believe in only performing procedures that are beneficial for the entire body. The holistic or natural approach has their patients’ overall health in mind at all time. This means that potentially dangerous materials such as mercury are kept out of the equation at all times. Mercury is a toxin, and even in small amounts can be a risk to the body and a patient’s health. While they do last longer than alternatives, they also put pressure on a tooth and can weaken a tooth, leading to the need for costly and painful procedures in the future.
No More Bad Breath
Bad breath is everywhere, and nobody wants it, or to be around it. It ranks third behind cavities and gum disease on a patients list of reasons to visit a dentist. Dr Tom Seal has discussed bad breath in Seattle Magazine, The Seattle Times, and has been on King 5 news Health Link.

Understanding Dental Implants
A cosmetic dentist in Kirkland, Washington can determine if dental implants are a viable option for patients during a routine dental examination. Dental implants allow a patient to get back to normal function and a natural look too. When it comes to dental implants, they are placed directly into the jawbone to replace the root of a tooth. After this occurs, a healing process ensues where the implant must fuse with the jawbone. Dental implants can be restored using crowns, bridges, or even dentures. When it comes to implant dentistry, Dr. Seal can place and restore dental implants for patients of all ages.
When comparing them to dentures, dental implants are often more preferable as they are more comfortable. Also, dental implants do not need adjacent teeth to hold the replacement tooth or teeth successfully. In terms of aftercare, regular oral hygiene is necessary. The implants must be clean and free of plaque at all times. Follow-up visits at our Washington dental office are required to monitor the health of a patient’s dental implants too. We only use the latest technology and best-quality and healthy materials for our patients.
