What is Holistic/Biological Dentistry?

Holistic / integrative dentistry is a philosophy that recognizes that the teeth and associated structures are a part of the whole body. Signs and symptoms in your mouth may actually indicate imbalances in your body. Dental infections, broken teeth, bite problems, and even the dental materials used to restore your teeth, have an effect on your overall health. Because of this important relationship, we offer a wide range of healthy treatment options. DR. FAZIO, Long Island's biological dentist, takes a unique approach to oral healthcare; combining sound dental science and technical experience, with a deep concern for his patients' emotional well-being and comfort.

This Whole Body philosophy stresses the use of biocompatible dental materials whenever possible. DR. FAZIO will educate you about these biocompatible dental materials that support your immune system , and work closely with your other health care professionals to restore and maintain optimal function to your entire system.

His HEALTH-FOCUSED approach to dental treatment means that he treats the teeth, the jaw, and related oral structures, with specific regard to how that treatment will effect the entire body.

We practice eco-friendly dentistry and make sincere efforts to eliminate or reduce your exposure to potentially toxic materials. Our office also uses the latest in dental equipment and technology in order to provide you with healthy treatment options and services.

Whether you want to restore your health, improve your athletic performance, or just maintain your physical well-being, we promote health-conscious dentistry that is functional, esthetic, and enduring.

The Importance of Patient Education

A key part of preventing dental problems is being aware of how they can develop. We strongly believe that patient education is an important part of the services we provide. In addition to talking with our patients during their exams, we have a ready supply of patient education materials such as brochures and information sheets in our office. We encourage our patients to read about dental diseases and ask us questions about how to stay healthy.
