As the image below shows, dental care can have a direct impact on your health.
We call our practice ‘holistic’ because dentistry contributes to your whole feeling of well-being, your overall sense of good health. Our approach integrates the finest of traditional dentistry with advances in dental materials and technology. Our patients understand the value of a healthier smile, and they choose us for their care.
Services range from replacing silver filling to restoring misaligned or missing teeth.
When it comes to removal of your silver fillings, we follow a strict protocol to keep you from swallowing or inhaling anything that might be toxic, along with eye protection. A nosepiece allows you to breathe pure air, and a rubber dam isolates the tooth being worked on. Specially-designed filtration is placed nearby to capture any vapors, and high-speed suction is used inside the mouth. The metal is exchanged for durable and natural looking tooth-colored materials.
What else is different about our holistic/integrative approach? We are environmentally conscious, providing fresh air ventilation and extensive air filtration.
Negative pressure in the operatories allows for an exchange of clean air between patients. Distilled, ozonated water is used exclusively, chairside. Instruments are cleaned using an environmentally pure, non-chemical sterilization method. High-speed hand pieces are steam autoclaved without chemicals before each procedure, and we offer the lowest radiation X-rays possible.
Additional integrative care includes galvanic testing to reveal decay or deterioration of old dental work. Laser dentistry is used for biostimulation after certain procedures, to promote healing and prevent pain. Another type of laser is used for natural gum care.
We also offer homeopathics, flower essences and essential oils for integrative support.
You’ll find a peaceful atmosphere at our office, where we see only one patient at a time.
We listen attentively to all of your concerns and look for the most balanced solutions.
Our mission is to work together as a team with you and your family to support the long-term goal of happier, healthier smiles.
