Biodentistry
Biodentistry strives to help you have healthy teeth that last for many years to come. It is our passion to help patients understand the connection between mouth-and-body health. When you visit our comfortable dental practice, you can trust we will care for all of your dental needs with the utmost professionalism, consideration and respect.
What Is Biodentistry?
Biodentistry, or biological dentistry, is a widely-practised holistic approach to modern dentistry. At Brisbane Biodentistry, we understand that the teeth and gums are integral parts of our body and not separate entities. Ultimately, we recognise that our oral health can significantly impact our overall health and wellbeing.
Brisbane Biodentistry Dentistry provides you with a holistic approach, combining that with the best standards of modern clinical dentistry. At our Moorooka dental practice, our dentistry does not solely focus on the teeth, gums, soft oral tissues, and jaws; we also prioritise your overall health.
Why Do We Adopt a Biodentistry Approach?
Biodentistry allows us to provide our patients with a more comprehensive approach to their oral health needs and aesthetic goals. We cater to the individual person as a whole, including diet and nutrition, coupled with the highest standards of modern scientific dentistry.
We exercise conscious consideration of biocompatible, non-toxic materials and conservative treatments that work naturally with the body's chemistry. We strive to preserve our patients' natural smiles while also improving their oral health and appearance.
With biodentistry, there are fewer side effects, reduced cost, reduced impact on other parts of the body, and fewer unintended medication interactions.
Our Focus on Nutrition
Current scientific research looks closely at how the foods we consume significantly affect the bacteria in our bodies and how our gut health affects our overall health and wellbeing. These colonies of bacteria are called microbiomes.
The first microbiome of our digestive tract is found in our mouth. Therefore the first step in ensuring a healthy gut, mind and body is to have a healthy and happy microbiome in your mouth.
Brushing and flossing are, of course, essential measures for keeping our teeth, gums and oral cavity in excellent health. But, more importantly, the foods and drinks we consume play the most significant role of all.
Today's diet of processed foods and high sugar intake is the leading cause of tooth decay and other oral health issues. A balanced diet contains necessary vitamins and minerals, like protein, calcium, vitamins A and C, and more.
These nutrients contribute to healthy saliva production and remineralisation that strengthens enamel and controls bacteria in the mouth.
We believe that nutrition plays a vital role in a person's overall health, including the teeth and gums. At Brisbane Biodentistry, we can provide advice and guidance to changes patients can make to improve their daily lives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Biodentistry, or holistic dentistry, is the diagnosing, preventing, treating and maintaining oral health using natural, biocompatible therapies. However, practising modern biodentistry doesn't mean we neglect leading-edge, scientific dental technologies and techniques.
The Mouth-Body Connection
The International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine states biological dentistry emphasises the importance of the mouth-body connection. Illness that occurs within the body may materialise in the mouth and vice versa. Additionally, various factors can affect a person's oral health, such as diet, stress and sleep patterns.
What Is a Biological Dentist?
All biological dentists obtain a BDSc degree and offer a wide range of dental services, like bi-annual cleans, cavity restorations and gum disease therapies. A biological dentist also tries to identify the root cause of a patient's oral health issues. We also discuss the patient's diet, dental hygiene and other health and lifestyle habits.
We Use High-Quality Restorations for a Natural Smile
At Brisbane Biodentistry, we use safe, non-toxic materials to repair, restore and improve a person's teeth and gums. Among these materials are metal-free, tooth-coloured fillings, crowns, bridges and more. These restorations look, feel and function like natural teeth.
Do You Need a Dental Appointment?
Our health-conscious patients appreciate our focus on prevention, patient education and comprehensive dental care. If you need to arrange a preventive appointment with our dental practitioners, we invite you to call our friendly dental team.
At Brisbane Biodentistry, we focus on the patient’s overall health and its connection to their oral health. Instead of solely focusing on the mouth, we consider the patient’s whole body health and wellness and its relation to their oral health. We call this holistic dentistry, also commonly called biodentistry, because we treat the person as a whole.
We Prioritise Your Whole-Body Health
Our holistic approach prioritises your overall quality of life using modern dentistry in a relaxing, stress-free atmosphere for your physical and emotional well-being. We use advanced dental care techniques and technologies to improve patient outcomes, and we use durable, high-quality materials that do not contain metal.
Metal-free restorations are more compatible with the body’s natural processes, not to mention they more accurately match a person’s natural smile.
Ultimately, we see the mouth as an integral part of the body, and we consider oral health concerns to relate to whole-body vitality.
We Help Create Healthy Smiles That Last
The mouth is a high sensory area, and we want your teeth and gums to function as comfortably as possible.
The mouth is a microenvironment that mirrors the body’s total health. For example, plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth can risk plaque accumulation in the arteries.
The same bacteria associated with gum disease is also often present in the hearts of those with heart disease. A holistic dentist focuses on the proper balance of oral bacteria to improve a patient’s smile and general health.
