What holistic means here

At Natural Smiles, a treatment plan looks at the whole body. The practice matches materials to the patient and keeps imaging low-radiation. Dr. Carlo Litano, DMD has practiced whole-body dentistry for more than 20 years.

Support services such as IV therapy and nutrition coaching surround the clinical work, before treatment and after it. These services work closely alongside the care Dr. Litano provides, and alongside a patient’s physician when needed.

How a treatment plan works

Care at Natural Smiles follows a plan built in four steps.

  1. Consultation and 3D scan

    A first visit includes a 3D CBCT scan and a full health history. This gives Dr. Litano a complete picture before any treatment is planned. The scan and history form the basis for the steps that follow.

  2. Written plan and estimate

    Dr. Litano writes a plan that sets priorities and the order of care. A cost estimate comes in writing before any work begins, so a patient knows what to expect at the next stage.

  3. Treatment under the plan

    Treatment follows the practice's standard, with SMART mercury removal, ozone therapy, PRF and metal-free materials used where the plan calls for them. Diagnosis, surgery and restoration can finish in a single office.

  4. Prevention and recall visits

    Prevention at Natural Smiles includes fluoride-free care and recall visits.

What holistic dentistry does not mean

Biological and holistic dentistry is not an officially recognized dental specialty. It adds a focus on material choices and imaging decisions to standard dental training.

Where a finding belongs to medicine, Natural Smiles refers patients to a physician. Holistic support services do not replace a physician’s care. They run alongside it. On request, the practice coordinates with the physician managing a patient’s care.
