Services
Biologic Dentistry
Our biologic dentistry approach recognizes the mouth-body connection, using biocompatible materials and natural therapies to treat patients as whole individuals. We address systemic inflammation through periodontal care and mercury removal while incorporating ozone therapy and infrared sauna treatments. This comprehensive approach helps patients achieve optimal oral and overall health through personalized treatment plans.
Smart Mercury Removal
Following IAOMT protocols, we safely remove mercury amalgam fillings using protective equipment and room ventilation. Our process minimizes mercury exposure for patients and staff while replacing fillings with biocompatible alternatives. We provide detailed pre- and post-removal guidance to support the body's natural detoxification processes.
Ozone Treatment
We utilize medical-grade ozone to disinfect infected tissues and promote healing through its antimicrobial properties. This non-invasive treatment effectively addresses periodontal disease and dental infections while stimulating tissue regeneration. Ozone therapy supports natural healing without adverse side effects, making it ideal for patients seeking minimally invasive care.
CEREC Crowns
Our CEREC technology creates custom porcelain crowns in one visit using digital impressions and precision milling. This eliminates temporary crowns and multiple appointments while ensuring perfect fit and aesthetics. The process preserves more natural tooth structure compared to traditional crown preparation techniques.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer oral conscious sedation for patients with dental anxiety or phobias, creating a relaxed treatment experience. Our sedation dentists carefully monitor patients throughout procedures while maintaining responsiveness. This approach makes complex treatments accessible for patients who would otherwise avoid dental care.
