Biological dentistry is a growing branch of dentistry that looks at the mouth and its structures as part of the whole body. We understand the relationship between the two and use this information to provide dental treatment that is in harmony with overall health.
Mercury (Silver) filling removal can lead to significant exposure to toxic mercury levels, much more than the normal exposure to mercury in the mouth from chewing, brushing, and grinding of teeth. We protect our patients by having them breathe pure oxygen, use of barriers like the rubber dam, special burs and suctions to remove the mercury particles safely during removal. The patient also holds a specialized vacuum that removes the mercury vapor from the outside air.
Ozone is a gas molecule that is composed of 3 atoms of oxygen. This potent oxidizer is helpful to the human cell and body but lethal to bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other invaders.
Minimally invasive dentistry is a paradigm shift in dentistry. The name says it all, it involves removing as little healthy tooth structure or gum as possible during a procedure.
Lasers are just photons or little packets of light that have wide-ranging biological effects. The laser energy can be used to remove decay or reshape gum tissue. Cells that are not removed during a laser procedure can use the laser energy to heal.
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF/PRP) and stem cells are components of your blood that are constantly circulating throughout your body. Stem Cells have become accepted in medicine as a powerful healing modality. We harvest and utilize these blood components during surgeries to promote optimal healing and grow bone. We have been using blood-derived healing components for more than 10 years and the healing results are remarkable.
We use technology to provide the most efficient and predictable treatments available in dentistry today. We can create Same-Day (CEREC) crowns so a patient can complete treatment in a single visit—no more gooey, gag-inducing impression materials or temporary crowns. We also use 3D imaging technology to digitally plan dental implant placement and a 3D printer to make surgical guides to place the dental implants with precision. We use biologically driven technologies such as lasers, Ozone, and air abrasion to increase the longevity of our work and reduce post-operative discomfort. These technologies help us to provide dental treatment that is in harmony with overall health.
We use surgical microscopes to do our dental work from exams to routine filling work. We believe that magnification and ideal lighting of the parts of the oral cavity that we are working on are vital to providing excellent care. We are part of the 1% of dentists that practice Safe Mercury (Silver Filling) Removal. We also use biologically driven technologies and understand the relationship between the mouth and overall health.
Early prevention and interventions are key to helping children establish good oral hygiene habits that will serve them well throughout their life. Oral health education is another pillar to guiding children to establish good hygiene and home care practices. Starting with a healthy oral environment will set children on a path to optimal overall health in years to come. This helps to set them up for a lifetime of good oral health.
The jury is in. Your mouth is an integral part of your body and overall health. You cannot be healthy if you do not have a healthy mouth. We understand this relationship and use it to provide dental treatment that is in harmony with overall health.
