Ben-Roohi Sharon DDS

Sharon Ben-Roohi DDS provides biological dentistry in Santa Monica. Many patients who have never experience biological dentistry wonder what it is, and if it might help them. Sometimes known as holistic dentistry or biologic dentistry, biological dentistry is a different approach to the care of teeth - an approach that considers the patient's entire state of physical and emotional health when assessing his or her dental health.

Advances in dental technology have produced some amazing results in recent years to the extent that modern dentistry has very little in common with its counterpart of the past. Many patients nonetheless associate dental procedures with pain and discomfort, but this is no longer the case.

Modern dental health practitioners are also taking a proactive approach to oral care instead of simply providing after-the-fact treatment, and treatments themselves are increasingly designed to provide lasting results by addressing the root cause of the problem rather than simply acting as Band-Aids.

If you're like most modern health care consumers, you've heard a lot in recent years about the advantages of taking a holistic, proactive approach to wellness. Holistic medicine is an approach to healing that considers the whole person instead of just the issue at hand, and it often involves the promotion of noninvasive techniques and treatments.

The dental profession defines minimally invasive dentistry as an approach to oral health care that focuses on preserving existing tissue. Traditional dentistry, on the other hand, often involves invasive procedures and the loss of teeth.

Thanks to recent scientific advances, however, traditional dentistry is falling out of favor among many patients, and it's easy to see why - minimally invasive dentistry operates on the main principle of doing as little to the tooth as possible while optimizing oral health.For the average patient, minimally invasive dentistry means less time spent in the dentist office as well as a decreased amount of pain and discomfort.

Although ozone dentistry has become popular in Europe in recent years, it's only recently reached American shores. We're excited to be able to offer it to our patients for a variety of reasons. First of all, we're proud to be among those using the latest dental technology because it allows us the opportunity to provide our patients with the best possible dental care.
