Biological & Holistic Dentist
A Career Built on Biological Principles
Dr. Jignesh Mehta graduated from Government Dental College & Hospital, CST, Mumbai in 1997 — one of the most competitive and respected dental programmes in India. From his earliest clinical encounters, he was drawn to the question that conventional dentistry rarely asked: "What is this dental treatment doing to the rest of my patient's body?"
That question has guided 25+ years of practice. Dr. Mehta has spent decades learning, applying, and refining the principles of biological dentistry — a discipline that views oral health as inseparable from systemic health, and that insists on the most biocompatible, least toxic materials and approaches in every clinical situation.
Over the years, his clinic in Vile Parle West has become a reference point for patients across Mumbai, India, and internationally, who seek alternatives to conventional dentistry — particularly regarding mercury amalgam fillings, root canal safety, and metal-free restorative options.
He was one of the early adopters of CEREC CAD/CAM technology in Mumbai, enabling same-day ceramic restorations that eliminate the need for messy impressions and multiple appointments. More recently, he has integrated zirconia implantology — offering India's patients a completely metal-free implant option with exceptional osseointegration outcomes.
Clinical Philosophy
The Mouth–Body Connection
The mouth is not isolated from the rest of the body. Bacterial imbalances in the mouth have been linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cognitive decline, and pregnancy complications. Dr. Mehta's approach begins with this understanding.
First, Do No Harm
Hippocrates' foundational principle guides every clinical decision. Materials are chosen for their biocompatibility, not just their cost-effectiveness. The clinic is entirely mercury-free, BPA-free, and metal-free where possible.
Least Invasive, Most Effective
Biological dentistry favours preserving tooth structure wherever possible. Regenerative approaches are preferred over extraction. Remineralisation over drilling. Ozone over antibiotic overuse.
The Whole Patient
Nutrition, stress, sleep, detox pathways — all factor into oral health. Dr. Mehta takes a holistic case history and, where appropriate, collaborates with naturopaths, functional medicine practitioners, and nutritionists.
