Safe, Whole-Body Focused Tooth Extractions
At the office of Dr. Cornelius in San Antonio, we take a different approach to dental extractions—one that honors the intricate connection between your teeth and your total body health. As a biological and holistic dentist, Dr. Cornelius performs biological tooth extractions with precision, compassion, and a deep respect for your body’s natural healing wisdom.
Whether you need a problematic tooth removed or are dealing with chronic dental-related health concerns, we provide a gentle, toxin-free solution that goes far beyond traditional dentistry.
What Is a Biological Tooth Extraction?
Unlike conventional extractions, a biological tooth extraction focuses on:
- Complete removal of the periodontal ligament to prevent future jawbone cavitation.
- Thorough cleaning of the extraction site to eliminate lingering infection or bacteria.
- Avoiding toxic materials like epinephrine or petroleum-based products.
- Promoting natural healing through ozone therapy, PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), and homeopathic support.
The goal is to protect your immune system, detox pathways, and energy meridians from unnecessary trauma or long-term inflammation.
Understanding the Meridian Tooth Chart
One of the most powerful tools we use is the Meridian Tooth Chart—a map of how each tooth connects to specific organs, glands, and body systems through the body’s energy meridians.
For example:
- A molar might connect to your stomach or pancreas, affecting digestion.
- A front tooth may align with your kidneys, bladder, or reproductive organs.
- A chronically infected or root-canaled tooth could be disrupting your immune system, joints, or even your heart.
By understanding these energetic connections, Dr. Cornelius is able to identify whether a “problem tooth” might be part of a bigger health picture—and guide patients toward whole-body restoration through safe, biological extraction when appropriate.

Biological Tooth Extractions – FAQ’s
- What is a biological tooth extraction?
A biological tooth extraction is a holistic approach to removing a tooth that focuses on minimizing trauma, preventing infection, and supporting whole-body health. It goes beyond traditional extractions by using biocompatible materials, advanced healing techniques, and avoiding toxic chemicals.
- How is it different from a traditional tooth extraction?
Traditional extractions often focus solely on removing the tooth. A biological extraction also addresses:
- Removal of periodontal ligaments
- Gentle socket cleaning to eliminate infection and toxins
- Use of ozone therapy and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to promote faster healing
- Prevention of cavitations (hidden jawbone infections)
- Why is removing the periodontal ligament important?
If the ligament is left behind, it can prevent the bone from properly healing and may lead to cavitations—areas of dead bone that can harbor chronic infections. Biological dentists carefully remove it to support complete healing.
- What is PRF and how does it help?
PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin. It’s made from your own blood and contains natural growth factors that help regenerate tissue, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing after an extraction.
- What role does ozone therapy play in the process?
Ozone is a powerful natural disinfectant. It’s used during biological extractions to eliminate bacteria, reduce the risk of infection, and improve oxygenation of the tissues for better healing.
- Is this approach safe for people with chronic conditions or sensitivities?
Yes. Biological extractions are ideal for patients with autoimmune issues, metal sensitivities, or those seeking a more natural and integrative approach to oral health.
- Will I still be numb during the procedure?
Absolutely. We use safe, biocompatible anesthetics to ensure your comfort during the entire procedure. Sedation options are also available if needed.
- How do I know if I need a tooth extracted biologically?
If you have a failing root canal, infected tooth, broken tooth, or are considering an implant or bridge, a consultation with a biological dentist can determine the best, most holistic path forward.
- What happens after the tooth is removed?
The socket is thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and supported with natural healing agents like PRF and ozone. Bone Grafting is placed in the extraction site. Post-care focuses on whole-body recovery, and we’ll guide you with supportive therapies and supplements if needed.
- What are my options for replacing the tooth afterward?
We offer a range of biocompatible, metal-free options such as ceramic implants, bridges, or partials—always with your long-term health in mind.
