Services
Restorative Dentistry
Our restorative dentistry services repair damaged or missing teeth through advanced techniques like tooth-colored fillings, inlays, bridges, and full-mouth restoration. We focus on restoring both function and aesthetics while maintaining biocompatibility with your body. Using mercury-free materials and digital imaging, we create personalized solutions that integrate seamlessly with your natural smile and overall health.
Gum Disease Therapy
We offer holistic gum disease treatment combining plaque control, systemic health evaluation, and laser therapy to address periodontal issues. Our three-step approach includes bacterial management, inflammation reduction, and tissue regeneration using Waterlase MD Turbo technology. This comprehensive method helps prevent systemic complications while restoring oral health through minimally invasive techniques.
TMJ/TMD Treatment
Specializing in temporomandibular joint disorders, we provide physiologic dentistry solutions including bite analysis, orthotics, and cranial-sacral therapy. Our approach addresses both symptoms and root causes through neuromuscular analysis, 3D imaging, and customized treatment plans that may include dental adjustments or integrative orthodontics to achieve lasting jaw joint balance.
Mercury-Free Dentistry
As pioneers in mercury-free dentistry since 1983, we safely remove amalgam fillings using protective protocols and replace them with biocompatible composite materials. Our IAOMT-compliant procedures include ozone therapy and PRF grafting to ensure safe removal while addressing potential systemic effects of heavy metal exposure through collaborative medical referrals.
Oral Cancer Screening
We utilize VELscope technology for advanced oral cancer screening, enabling early detection of abnormal tissue through fluorescence visualization. This non-invasive examination complements regular checkups, providing early intervention opportunities while maintaining our commitment to comprehensive preventive care and patient health education.
