Nutrition/Nutritional Testing: They utilize SpectraCell testing to determine micronutrient levels, helping to assess and improve a patient's nutritional health. Mercury-Free Dentistry: The practice strictly adheres to protocols for safe mercury amalgam filling removal, protecting patients, staff, and the environment from toxic mercury vapor. Biocompatible Restorations: They offer biocompatibility testing of dental materials to ensure that restorations are least reactive to individual patients, particularly for those with allergies or chronic illnesses. Sedation Dentistry: Oral sedation, often combined with nitrous oxide, is available to alleviate anxiety and ensure patient comfort during procedures. Preventative Dentistry/Dental Cleanings: Beyond routine cleanings, these appointments include screenings for issues like sleep apnea and cancer, and a review of overall body health conditions to support systemic wellness. Periodontics: Addressing gum disease is a core focus, with the understanding of its strong correlation to systemic diseases like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Oral Surgery: When tooth removal is necessary, they employ a biological approach and sound techniques to restore bone health and promote optimal post-operative healing. The Dental Wellness Center is highly regarded by its patients, many of whom travel significant distances for their specialized care.
