Functional or integrative dentistry at Ashbury Dental Care
Functional dentistry focuses on the root causes of oral health issues, as well as their impact on the body’s overall wellbeing. At Ashbury Dental Care, we combine advanced diagnostics with a gentle, holistic approach, helping you to achieve lasting oral and systemic health. Our team uses biocompatible materials and personalised care plans to support healing and prevent future problems.
What is functional dentistry?
Functional dentistry is a science-led, whole-body approach to oral care that goes beyond simply treating symptoms. It’s sometimes referred to as biological, integrative, and holistic dentistry. At Ashbury Dental Care, we integrate holistic dentistry principles into our care, exploring how diet, stress, and sleep affect your oral health. Using biocompatible dental materials and biological dentistry techniques, we tailor treatments to your unique needs. This natural dental care approach supports healing, prevents disease, and promotes long-term wellbeing. Our integrative dental care model ensures your oral health is aligned with your overall health goals. To find out more, contact our friendly practice team

Does Ashbury Dental Care use fluoride in their treatments?
Fluoride has long been a trusted tool in dentistry, helping prevent decay and strengthen enamel. But functional dentistry invites us to explore biomimetic alternatives like hydroxyapatite - the same mineral our teeth are made of. It offers effective remineralisation and is highly biocompatible.
At Ashbury Dental Care, we focus on personalised care, giving patients informed choices that reflect both tradition and innovation. Rather than framing fluoride negatively, we highlight exciting developments in natural dental care that support whole-body health.
