What Is Conservative Dentistry?
Precision Dentistry of Olympia: Championing Minimally Invasive and Biological Dental Practices
At Precision Dentistry of Olympia, we follow a dental philosophy called conservative or biodentistry that values each tooth and preserving your natural smile through minimally invasive procedures.
Our practice is built around the principles of minimally invasive dentistry (often referred to as conservative dentistry, biodentistry, or holistic dentistry) and to limit interventions to what’s only necessary. This allows us to save as much of the natural tooth structure as possible.
The conservative dentistry approach isn’t just about being less invasive—it’s about being more thoughtful, precise, and focused on long-term oral health.
How does this benefit you?
The Benefits of a Holistic Approach
Adopting these principles has several benefits for our patients:
- Economic Efficiency: By focusing on preserving your natural teeth, we help you avoid the need for more extensive—and expensive—dental work in the future. This approach can significantly reduce the cost of treatments such as root canals and cosmetic dentistry, which might not always be covered by insurance.
- Preservation of Natural Teeth: Our minimally invasive techniques mean we’re always looking for ways to strengthen and protect your natural teeth, from choosing dental bridges over extractions to utilizing advanced dental bonding techniques.
- Aesthetically Pleasing Results: Our holistic approach isn’t just about health; it’s also about aesthetics. By preserving more of your natural tooth structure, our treatments, such as teeth whitening and bonding, provide results that enhance your smile naturally.
- Sustainable Oral Health: One of the core principles of conservative dentistry is looking at the big picture of your oral health. Each treatment we perform contributes to the health and longevity of your teeth and gums.
Our Holistic and Minimally Invasive Treatments
We’re proud to offer a range of treatments that reflect our commitment to minimally invasive and biological dentistry:
- Teeth Whitening: Our whitening treatments are designed to brighten your smile without damaging your teeth, embodying the essence of minimally invasive aesthetics.
- Root Canal Treatment: With the latest technology, we’ve made root canal treatments more efficient and less invasive, preserving more of your natural tooth while effectively treating infections.
- Dental Bonding: As an alternative to more invasive procedures, our dental bonding treatments repair and beautify your teeth without significant enamel removal.
- Microabrasion: This technique is used for gentle enamel correction, preparing teeth for further restorative work while minimizing impact.
