Holistic Dentistry

Caring for Your Smile and Your Overall Well-Being

What is Holistic Dentistry?

Holistic Dentistry, also known as biological or integrative dentistry, is an approach to dental care that considers the entire body, not just the teeth and gums. It focuses on the connection between oral health and overall wellness, ensuring that dental treatments support your body’s natural balance and health.

At GeDental Wellness, we believe that a healthy smile is a reflection of a healthy body. Dr. Montilla combines traditional dental practices with holistic principles to provide care that is both effective and mindful of your overall health.

Why Us

Why is Dental Wellness Important?

Prevention of Tooth Decay and Gum Disease

Regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings help prevent plaque buildup, which can lead to cavities and gum disease.

Overall Health Connection

Oral health is closely connected to your overall health. Poor dental hygiene can contribute to conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections. Taking care of your mouth is essential for your entire body’s well-being.

Early Detection of Oral Diseases

Routine dental check-ups allow for early detection of problems, such as tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer, ensuring timely treatment and better outcomes.

We take a comprehensive approach to dental care, addressing not only your oral health but also how it impacts your entire body. Our holistic services include:
