OUR TEAM
Our Holistic Dentists
At Nuffield Dental, holistic dentistry means treating your mouth with consideration for your whole body. Our dentists are trained in periodontal therapy, safe amalgam replacement, ceramic implants, myofunctional therapy and advanced orthodontics. When planning your care, we begin by understanding your medical history, personal preferences and any material sensitivities you may have.
This approach allows us to select materials and techniques that suit your individual situation, rather than using a standard protocol for everyone.

Our Holistic Dentists' Approach
We work with each patient as an individual. Here is what that looks like in practice.
- Patient consultation: We review examination findings with you using X-rays and clinical photos, and discuss treatment options and their implications
- Individual assessment: Your medical history, preferences and any material sensitivities guide our treatment recommendations
- Patient education: We provide guidance on brushing, interdental cleaning and daily habits that support your oral health, tailored to your situation
- Communication about options: If you have concerns about materials or treatment approaches, we discuss what is available and how it relates to your case
How a Holistic Dentist Supports Your Overall Wellbeing
Our material and treatment choices are guided by what is clinically appropriate and compatible with your body.
- Biocompatible materials: We use tooth-coloured composites and ceramics selected for compatibility with your system and clinical function
- Latex-free care: Nitrile gloves and latex-free rubber dams are used for patients with known or suspected latex sensitivity
- Amalgam removal protocol: When replacing older amalgam fillings, we isolate the tooth, use high-volume suction, and section the filling to manage removal
- Material choices for restorations: Crowns and onlays favour ceramics and precious metals. Where possible, we use inlays or onlays instead of full-coverage crowns to preserve tooth structure
- Tooth preservation: We aim to retain healthy tooth structure where clinically appropriate
