Dental Therapy is proud to offer biologic dentistry in Phoenix, AZ. It’s a modern, patient-centered approach that focuses on your total well-being, not just your teeth. Also called holistic dentistry, biological dental care combines the best of traditional practices with a good understanding of how oral health impacts the entire body.
Advanced Biological Dentistry for Total Wellness in Phoenix
Biologic dentistry in Phoenix takes a whole-body approach to oral care. Instead of focusing only on teeth and gums, biological dentistry looks at how dental materials, infections, and treatments can affect your overall health and well-being.
What do holistic dentists do differently? They use biocompatible materials, avoid toxins like mercury and BPA, and support your body’s natural healing and immune function. It’s for patients with sensitivities, chronic inflammation, autoimmune conditions, or those who simply want a more natural, health-centered approach.

Cleanliness is one. The most important, they know what is best for you and be satisfied,Posted on Google Shirlee BaluyotTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Whiting was compassionate, gentle & very informative. This is my second appointment & am giving her 5 stars again! Brenda her assistant is helpful & friendly. I highly recommend this dental practice especially cause it's a female owned, small business that accepts most dental insurance. Thanks again Dr. Whiting for your amazing bedside manner & sharing your depth of knowledge regarding my dental care needs!Posted on Google Jordan KnightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went in for the first time at 34 years old as someone who is terrified of the dentist and absolutely intolerant for any kind of oral pain. I recommend this office 1000%. I was told things about my teeth gums and jaw that I had never heard prior from any dentist. I don’t say that lightly as I had braces for five years and two oral surgeries prior to visiting this office, and she was the only one to not only talk to me in depth about my bite, my jaw, muscles and my gums, but she also told me things to watch out for And an abundance of things to do to help alter and correct my negative habits I will never go to another dentist in the Phoenix area again when you find something that works, you don’t change it. This dentist office is a true hidden gym and I recommend them to everyone I know. I had my second appointment today over a year and a half after my first and might I say this appointment was even better than last time.
