We don’t just improve smiles — we improve lives.
At Luxe Dental Arts, biological dentistry is at the heart of our philosophy. We understand that the mouth is deeply interconnected with the rest of the body—and that lasting wellness comes from balance, alignment, and informed choices.
Every material we use, every procedure we perform, and every recommendation we provide is driven by one guiding principle: to work with your body’s natural healing abilities while protecting your long-term systemic health.
This is dentistry with purpose—thoughtful, elevated, and rooted in whole-body wellness.
Foundational Principles of Biological Dentistry
Biological dentistry embraces a whole-body perspective—one that looks beyond symptoms to understand how oral health impacts your overall well-being. At Luxe Dental Arts in Richmond, TX, we combine advanced clinical expertise with an integrative, wellness-focused philosophy.
Below are the guiding principles that shape our approach:
1.
The Mouth-Body Connection
Your oral health is closely tied to your overall wellness. Issues such as inflammation, toxins, or infections in the mouth can influence the heart, brain, immune system, and other vital systems.
At Luxe: We look beyond the teeth and gums to evaluate how dental factors may be contributing to chronic concerns like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, autoimmune conditions, or chronic fatigue—then create a care plan that supports healing throughout the entire body.
2.
Biocompatible Materials
Every material placed in the mouth should work in harmony with the body—not against it.
At Luxe: We use only non-toxic, biocompatible materials that are free from mercury, BPA, fluoride, and other known irritants. When appropriate, we also offer biocompatibility testing to ensure the materials chosen align with your individual biology.
3.
Minimally Invasive, Preservation-Focused Care
Our philosophy is to conserve as much natural tooth structure as possible while supporting the body’s own ability to heal.
At Luxe: We utilize gentle, state-of-the-art techniques—such as ozone therapy, air abrasion, and precision imaging—to protect your teeth and promote lasting oral health.
4.
Safe Mercury Detoxification
Mercury-based fillings may carry risks if they are not removed with proper safety measures.
At Luxe: We follow IAOMT SMART and IABDM PROTECT guidelines for mercury amalgam removal, incorporating enhanced filtration, oxygen protection, and supportive measures to help patients through the process.
5.
Root Cause Resolution
Instead of simply addressing symptoms, we look deeper to identify the root causes of gum disease, decay, or jaw pain.
At Luxe: Using salivary testing, phase-contrast microscopy, 3D imaging, and functional evaluations, we explore potential connections to systemic conditions, microbiome imbalance, or toxic exposures.
6.
Whole-Person Wellness
Oral health is deeply connected to whole-body wellness and is influenced by factors such as nutrition, stress, sleep, and lifestyle.
At Luxe: You receive personalized, integrative care plans that may include nutritional guidance, sleep evaluations, biocompatibility considerations, and referrals to trusted wellness partners when appropriate.
7.
Informed, Collaborative Care
Empowered patients make empowered decisions.
At Luxe: We take time to listen, educate, and collaborate so you feel confident, informed, and supported at every step.
Understanding Biological Dentistry
Biological dentistry, also called holistic or integrative dentistry, is a science-based approach that combines:
- State-of-the-art treatment methods
- Safe, biocompatible materials
- Conservative, tissue-preserving procedures
- A comprehensive understanding of the oral–systemic relationship
In contrast to conventional dentistry, which typically concentrates on isolated dental issues or symptoms, biological dentistry seeks the underlying causes and emphasizes prevention, detoxification, and whole-body wellness.
A New Vision of Dentistry
Biological dentistry isn’t an alternative approach—it’s a progressive, mindful, and wellness-centered form of care. It brings together the strengths of modern science, natural principles, and elevated aesthetics to enhance your health and your experience.
From our calming, toxin-conscious environment to the skillful, thoughtful care of our team, every detail is crafted to support healing from the inside out.
How Biological Dentistry Sets Itself Apart from Conventional Care
Traditional Dentistry
Focuses on individual teeth and isolated symptoms
Often relies on metals such as mercury or titanium
Uses standardized, uniform treatment approaches
Reactive in nature—treats disease after it appears
Limited consideration of how oral conditions influence systemic health
Fillings and extractions performed without specialized biological safety measures
Biological Dentistry at Luxe Dental Arts
Views oral health as an integral part of total body wellness
Uses only non-toxic, metal-free materials such as ceramics and BPA-free composites
Delivers personalized, data-driven care designed around your individual biology
Proactive and preventive, prioritizing balance, early detection, and long-term stability
Integrates principles from functional medicine, nutrition, detoxification, and whole-body healing
Incorporates SMART protocols, PRF, ozone therapy, and advanced biologically supportive techniques

Simply Perio Saliva Testing
Advanced salivary diagnostics identify the specific bacteria driving gum disease and reveal potential links to systemic concerns such as cardiovascular, neurological, or immune conditions.
Biological Extractions + PRF
Tooth removal performed with a biologically mindful approach—including complete ligament removal, ozone treatment, and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) to support rapid, natural tissue regeneration.
Biocompatibility Testing
We evaluate materials to ensure they are compatible with your unique physiology—helping reduce inflammation, support healing, and protect systemic wellness.
Oral Microbiome Gum therapy
A science-based approach to improving periodontal health by understanding how gum disease influences whole-body wellness, chronic conditions, and long-term healing.
3D X-rays (CBCT)
Cone Beam Computed Tomography provides precise, three-dimensional imaging for a clearer, more complete understanding of your dental and anatomical structures.
Meridian Connections
