Dr. James P. Wright, DDS
At Four Seasons Dental & Med Spa, Dr. James Wright is a mercury free, holistic dentist and he practices the safe removal of mercury fillings.
Dr. Wright is a long time member of IAOMT (International Association of Oral & Medicine Toxicology) uses their recommended mercury removal methods for holistic dentists to protect patient's from inhaling mercury vapors (Hg) or coming in contact with any mercury particulate during the mercury removal process. Dr. Wright uses mercury air filtration in his office to further protect against toxic mercury. After using the correct holistic dental protocol to remove the decayed tooth material, he restores the tooth with an appropriate non toxic material.
Dr. Wright is a perfectionist who is known for his beautiful Cosmetic Dentistry, and he carefully chooses a restoration color that matches the patients tooth color so closely that the tooth looks new again. When periodontal disease is present and periodontal pockets measure in excess of 4 mm, the traditional practice is to remove the plaque, calculus and tartar debris from the teeth and provide oral hygiene instruction.
Dr. Wright is a conservative holistic dentist and he believes in using the least invasive non surgical approach first; traditional scaling and root planing (deep cleaning). In addition to this, he treats periodontal disease with a state-of-the art laser which he uses successfully to avoid gum surgery for most periodontal disease. Combining State of the art technology with a conservative holistic dental approach, laser energy is applied to inactivate periodontal disease.
If the disease has advanced and osseous (gum) surgery is necessary, Four Season's patients are able to have their gum surgery at Four Seasons Dental Spa under the expert care of Dr. Ed DeAndrade. He is a board certified Periodontist, having achieved the level of Diplomate. Today's advanced surgical procedures can cure defects, thereby reducing the patient's susceptibility to periodontal disease.
In summary, the guiding philosophies of biological dentistry are:
- "First do no harm" (Hippocrates)
- The health of the mouth and the body are one and the same.
By seeking out and working to understand the root cause of illness, the biological practitioner helps the patient achieve health stability, wellness and a reduced need for avoidable, unnecessary and costly treatment.
