At Natural and Cosmetic Dentistry in Clearwater, we practice biologic dentistry (also called biological or holistic dentistry)—an integrative approach that honors the connection between your mouth and your whole body. Dr. Beata A. Carlson, Dr. Michael “Mikey” Thomas, and Dr. Lewis Luo blend advanced clinical dentistry with biocompatible materials, gentle techniques, and preventive wellness to help you feel better, not just look better.
Whether you’re exploring metal-free options, curious about ozone therapy, or seeking a second opinion on past dental work, our team makes biologic care understandable, comfortable, and personalized.
What is biologic dentistry?
Biologic dentistry focuses on:
-
Biocompatibility: Choosing materials and methods that are kind to your body and oral microbiome.
-
Minimal intervention: Preserving as much natural tooth and tissue as possible.
-
Whole-health awareness: Considering how dental choices affect your immune, cardiovascular, and airway health.
-
Prevention first: Addressing root causes—nutrition, habits, airway, and inflammation—before they become bigger problems.
This approach pairs modern diagnostics with natural, evidence-aligned therapies, guiding you toward long-term oral and systemic wellness.
Biologic services we offer in Clearwater
SMART-safe amalgam removal
If you’re considering replacing old silver-mercury fillings, our practice follows strict isolation and filtration steps to help protect you, our team, and the environment during removal. We then restore teeth with tooth-colored, BPA-free, metal-free materials for a strong, beautiful result.
Ozone therapy (gentle, non-drug antimicrobial care)
Ozone can be used to clean cavities prior to restoration, calm gum inflammation, and support post-procedure healing—without harsh chemicals. It’s quick, comfortable, and designed to preserve healthy tissue.
Metal-free, biomimetic restorations
We prioritize techniques and materials that bond and seal your tooth, helping reduce sensitivity and future fracture risk.
Biocompatibility-minded options
From ceramics to specific bonding agents, we help match materials to your unique needs and sensitivities whenever appropriate.
Periodontal and airway wellness
Healthy gums support whole-body health. We combine gentle therapies with salivary and risk assessments—and we screen for airway concerns that may contribute to grinding, recession, and inflammation.
Why patients choose biologic dentistry
-
Whole-person care: We look beyond the tooth to your sleep, stress, nutrition, and lifestyle.
-
Cleaner ingredient lists: We emphasize materials and home-care products without alcohol, SLS, dyes, or unnecessary additives when possible.

Comfort + conservation: Minimally invasive methods help preserve natural structure and can shorten recovery time.

Aesthetic, durable results: Metal-free, tooth-colored options blend seamlessly with your smile.
Your home routine matters (a lot)
Great biologic care continues at home. That’s why our dentists often recommend fluoride-free options that support enamel and gums while keeping your oral microbiome in balance.
-
Whitening Toothpaste: Fluoride-free and powered by nano-hydroxyapatite to remineralize and brighten gently—ideal for daily use and sensitivity support.
-
Nano Silver Mouthwash: Alcohol-free rinse featuring nano-silver for antimicrobial support and nano-hydroxyapatite for enamel strength—refreshing without dryness.
-
Oral Renew Drops: Concentrated essential-oil blend you can spot-apply or add to routines for soothing gum support and long-lasting freshness.
-
Prefer an all-in-one? Our Essential Smile System bundles toothpaste, mouthwash, and drops for an easy, travel-friendly ritual.
All are fluoride-free, alcohol-free, and designed for sensitive mouths—perfect complements to a biologic dentistry plan.
What to expect at your first biologic visit
-
Conversation first: We listen to your goals, concerns, and health history.
-
Comprehensive exam: Tooth-by-tooth evaluation, gum measurements, bite/airway screening, and digital imaging as needed.
-
Personalized roadmap: Dr. Carlson, Dr. Mikey, or Dr. Luo will outline a step-by-step plan that fits your timeline, budget, and comfort level.
-
Gentle, biocompatible care: From ozone therapy and SMART-safe protocols to metal-free restorations, we focus on clean, conservative solutions.
FAQs about biologic dentistry
Is biologic dentistry the same as holistic dentistry?
They’re closely aligned. Both prioritize whole-body wellness, conservative treatment, and biocompatible materials.
Does biologic mean “no technology”?
Not at all. We combine modern diagnostics and techniques with a “less is more” philosophy—treating precisely and preserving what’s healthy.
Can kids be seen in a biologic practice?
Yes. We tailor recommendations based on age and risk, and we can suggest gentle, fluoride-free home-care options when appropriate.
What if I have old metal fillings?
We can evaluate cracks, corrosion, or recurrent decay and discuss SMART-style removal and metal-free replacements where indicated.
