About Whole Body Dentistry

Whole Body Dentistry is a locally owned dental practice at 451 E Main St Suite 2 in Middletown, New York, established in 2009 and serving the Greater Hudson Valley. Its stated approach is biological and holistic: oral health is treated as part of whole-body health, with care planned around the oral-systemic connection rather than the tooth in isolation. Procedures recorded for this practice include biocompatible materials, amalgam removal, zirconia dental implants, ozone therapy, cavitation treatment, platelet-rich fibrin, periodontal therapy, oral surgery, TMJ/TMD therapy, sleep and airway dentistry, and nutritional and detox counseling.

The practice does not place mercury-containing amalgam and removes existing amalgam under a controlled protocol intended to limit mercury vapor exposure. Restorative work relies on composite resin, ceramic and zirconia, and minimally invasive technique is used to conserve sound tooth structure. Digital radiography, 3D imaging and Fotona laser dentistry support diagnosis and treatment planning. Clinicians at this practice are recorded with the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine.

Common Questions

What does a whole-body approach mean in practice here?

The practice treats the mouth as part of a wider system rather than in isolation. It works with biocompatible, non-toxic materials and addresses infection, inflammation and bacterial imbalance in the mouth, which the practice notes can bear on systemic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and autoimmune disorders. Treatment is aimed at root causes rather than symptoms alone, with emphasis on prevention.

How is existing amalgam removed?

Removal follows a defined vapor-control sequence. The patient pre-rinses with an activated charcoal slurry; the tooth is isolated with a dental dam while an air purifier runs and high-volume suction is applied; the patient breathes medical-grade oxygen through a nasal mask; copious, often cold, water spray cools the drill to limit heat and vapor; and protective garments are worn by patient, dentist and staff.

What materials replace amalgam in restorations?

The practice uses composite resins, ceramics and zirconia. These release no mercury vapor, and the practice states that composite can be shade-matched to adjacent tooth structure while ceramic and zirconia crowns resist wear and fracture. Their biocompatibility is described as reducing the risk of allergic reaction or inflammation, which matters for patients with sensitivities or chronic health conditions.

What imaging and laser technology does the practice use?

Digital radiography is used to keep radiation exposure low, and 3D imaging supports precise treatment planning. The practice also performs Fotona laser dentistry, which it describes as a minimally invasive method that addresses a range of oral health concerns with high precision, reduces healing time, and in many cases removes the need for a drill or scalpel.
