Holistic and biological dentistry near Edmonton, AB
For us, holistic dentistry simply means looking at the bigger picture. Your oral health doesn't exist in isolation — it's connected to the rest of your body. Research continues to show links between gum disease and conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and inflammation. We take that connection seriously.
At Redwater Dental Clinic, we combine modern clinical dentistry with a thoughtful approach to materials, comfort, and prevention. We're not anti-conventional dentistry — we're pro-patient. That means choosing biocompatible materials where appropriate, minimizing unnecessary treatment, and always considering how your dental care fits into your overall health.
We use tooth-colored composite resin fillings — not silver amalgam. Composite fillings are mercury-free, bond directly to your tooth, and require less removal of healthy tooth structure. For crowns, bridges, and other restorations, we offer ceramic and zirconia options that are metal-free and biocompatible.
We believe patients deserve to know what materials are being used in their care and why. If you have questions or preferences about the materials we use, we're always happy to discuss your options.
We also offer same-day ceramic crowns milled right here in our office — no temporaries, no second visit, and completely metal-free.
The best dental treatment is the one you never need. We focus heavily on prevention — thorough cleanings, early detection through digital imaging, patient education, and helping you build habits that protect your teeth long-term. When treatment is needed, we aim for the most conservative option that will genuinely solve the problem.
Many patients who seek holistic dental care also value a calm, supportive environment. We offer:
We go at your pace, explain each step, and never pressure you into treatment you're not comfortable with. If you've been avoiding the dentist, we understand — and we're here to help you get back on track without judgment.
You don't need to identify as a "holistic patient" to benefit from this approach. Our whole-body philosophy applies to every patient we see. That said, you may particularly appreciate our approach if you:

Holistic dentistry is an approach that considers the connection between your oral health and your overall wellbeing. At Redwater Dental Clinic, this means using biocompatible materials, focusing on prevention, minimizing unnecessary treatment, and providing care in a comfortable, patient-centered environment. We combine evidence-based clinical dentistry with a thoughtful approach to how dental care affects the whole body.
No. We use tooth-colored composite resin fillings, which are mercury-free and bond directly to your tooth structure. We believe composite fillings are a better option for most patients — they look natural, preserve more healthy tooth structure, and are biocompatible.
Biocompatible materials are those that are well-tolerated by your body. In dentistry, this typically refers to composite resins, ceramics, and zirconia — materials that are metal-free and designed to work safely with your body's natural tissues. We use biocompatible materials as our standard of care.
Yes. The treatments we provide — fillings, crowns, cleanings, implants, and more — are the same procedures covered by most dental insurance plans. A holistic approach doesn't change what's covered; it's about how we approach your care and the materials we choose. We offer direct billing to most insurance providers and accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP).
Yes. We offer both oral sedation and IV sedation, along with a Comfort Menu that includes noise-cancelling headphones, blankets, pillows, and TV above the chair. If you've been avoiding the dentist because of anxiety, we can help you get the care you need in a way that feels manageable.
We're a full-service, modern dental clinic with over 40 years of community roots. We offer everything from routine cleanings to same-day crowns and dental implants — with the added benefit of a whole-body philosophy, biocompatible materials, and genuine comfort support. We're not a niche boutique clinic. We're a complete dental home that takes a more thoughtful approach to your care.
We're happy to talk through how we care for patients and what makes our practice different. Call, text, or book online.
