Services
Restorative Dentistry
Our restorative dentistry services repair damaged or missing teeth through tooth-colored fillings, inlays, bridges, and full-mouth restoration. Using biocompatible materials, we restore function and aesthetics while prioritizing your overall health. Patients benefit from durable solutions that mimic natural teeth, enhancing both oral functionality and confidence in their smiles.
Mercury-Free Fillings
We specialize in mercury-free fillings and safe amalgam removal using IAOMT protocols. By replacing toxic metal fillings with composite resin, we reduce systemic health risks while improving dental aesthetics. Patients receive personalized care to ensure material compatibility, promoting long-term wellness without compromising structural integrity.
Gum Disease Therapy
Our three-step holistic approach to gum disease combines plaque control, systemic evaluation, and laser therapy to treat periodontal issues. Using Waterlase MD Turbo technology, we address inflammation and bone loss while considering dietary and biochemical factors. This method preserves oral health and reduces systemic risks like heart disease and diabetes.
TMJ/TMD Treatment
We offer non-invasive TMJ treatment using computerized diagnostics to assess jaw alignment. Custom orthotics and neuromuscular adjustments correct bite imbalances, alleviating pain and improving function. Patients experience relief from headaches, jaw tension, and sleep apnea through personalized, physiologically guided solutions.
Sedation Dentistry
Our sedation options, including NuCalm and oral sedatives, ensure comfortable visits for anxious patients. By combining relaxation techniques with holistic protocols, we minimize stress and enhance treatment outcomes. Patients remain calm throughout procedures while maintaining natural physiological responses for safer, more effective care.
