Choosing a Biological Dentist in Lakeway

"Holistic" and "biological" aren't regulated terms, so the label alone tells you little. Here's how to find a genuine, preservation-minded practice near Lake Travis.

Credentials worth looking for

Membership or accreditation with the IAOMT or a similar body, and SMART training, are reasonable signals — as is a dentist who explains materials and prevention clearly and cites sources like the ADA or AAP.

Questions to ask

• How do you approach keeping natural teeth versus extracting?
• Do you follow a safe amalgam-removal protocol, and what is it?
• How do you decide when not to treat?
• Will you coordinate with my physician if a medical issue overlaps?

Red flags

Be cautious of a large, urgent first-visit plan — especially one built on removing sound fillings or "cavitation" surgery framed as necessary to cure a systemic illness. Cavitations are contested and poorly established, and no dental procedure treats a general-health disease.

Second opinions

Get a second opinion before any big plan — easy with Austin nearby, and a good dentist welcomes it. Choose the office whose reasoning stays conservative and tooth-preserving.
