Services
Safe Mercury Removal
Our IAOMT-certified protocol includes activated charcoal rinses, oxygen masks, and high-volume suction to minimize mercury exposure during amalgam filling removal. We use amalgam separators to prevent environmental contamination and provide protective gear for both patients and staff during the procedure.
TMJ Therapy
We diagnose and treat temporomandibular joint disorders using joint vibration analysis and customized treatment plans. Our approach combines physical therapy collaboration, bite adjustments, and orthodontic interventions to alleviate pain and restore proper jaw function while addressing systemic health connections.
Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment
Our protocol uses microscopic plaque analysis, ozonated water irrigation, and soft tissue lasers to eliminate harmful oral microbes. We combine antimicrobial treatments with nutritional supplementation to address periodontal disease and its potential systemic effects on diabetes, heart health, and stroke risk.
Functional Orthodontics
We offer Invisalign clear aligners and traditional braces for teeth alignment, focusing on both aesthetic improvement and functional bite optimization. Our approach considers craniofacial development and airway health to address sleep apnea and breathing issues alongside dental alignment.
Laser Dentistry
We utilize healing lasers for precise soft tissue treatments, including periodontal pocket reduction and gum reshaping. This technology promotes faster healing, minimizes discomfort, and effectively targets harmful oral bacteria while preserving healthy tissue structures.

Questions
What makes your mercury removal protocol safe?
We follow IAOMT guidelines including activated charcoal rinses, oxygen masks, high-volume suction, and amalgam separators. Our staff wears protective gear while specialized equipment captures mercury vapor during removal.
Do you offer alternatives to traditional fluoride treatments?
Yes, we use MI Paste with calcium and phosphorus for remineralization instead of fluoride treatments. We also recommend xylitol products and plant-derived mineral supplements for dental health.
How do you handle periodontal disease?
We analyze plaque microbes microscopically, then use ozonated water, antimicrobial irrigants, and soft tissue lasers. Our protocol combines these treatments with nutritional support to address both oral and systemic health impacts.
What orthodontic options are available?
We offer Invisalign clear aligners for removable treatment and traditional braces for controlled tooth movement. Both options focus on functional bite correction alongside aesthetic improvements and airway health.
Are your dental materials tested for compatibility?
Yes, we offer Clifford Reactivity blood tests or electrodermal screening to identify biocompatible materials. This ensures we use dental restorations that won't cause adverse reactions in chemically sensitive patients.
