PRF, Ozone, and Biocompatible Oral Surgery
Holistic dentistry and holistic oral surgery are called several things (holistic, functional, or biological). These treatment approaches utilize different techniques and materials for patients who desire an alternative to conventional methods. Unfortunately many trends at the intersection of technology and healthcare are marketing gimmicks or temporary fads. Thankfully, sometimes innovations like PRF, Ozone, and new materials for implants make a profound change in how we rehabilitate oral health without toxic restorative materials and chemicals.
Dr. Baker is happy to offer metal-free, BPA-free, and mercury-free oral surgery procedures. Dr. Baker will work with you to create a plan that minimizes medications and he is happy to perform procedures without IV sedation if you prefer. If you have preferences for a holistic oral surgery experience please ask Dr. Baker to discuss how we can cater to your desires.
PRF: Healing Using Your Body’s Own Power
PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is essentially concentrated healing factors. Dr. Baker will obtain an IV from you to remove some blood, which is then placed in a centrifuge to separate platelets from red blood cells. This all-natural healing tool from your own blood serves as a natural scaffold packed with platelets, fibrin, and growth factors to promote faster healing, reduced inflammation, and faster tissue regeneration.
What Is Ozone?
Ozone, or O₃, is a natural gas with powerful antimicrobial and healing properties. Ozonated water and gas are utilized to disinfect surgical areas, reduce infection risk, and stimulate the body’s natural healing response. Ozone kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi without chemicals and shows promise in reducing swelling and inflammation after your procedure.
Metal-Free Dental Implants
Dr. Baker offers zirconia dental implants as a biocompatible, non-metal alternative to traditional titanium implants. These implants, made from a medical-grade zirconium, are ideal for patients with missing teeth who seek a holistic experience, desire a hypoallergenic solution, or who have immune concerns.
