We serve patients who embrace holistic healthcare. While we support many scientifically-backed holistic treatments, we carefully evaluate each approach to ensure it meets our standards of care.
Treatments We Offer
Zirconia implants offer a metal-free alternative to traditional titanium implants. Made from zirconia dioxide, these ceramic implants provide several advantages:
Key Benefits:
These implants work well for patients with metal sensitivities or those seeking a completely metal-free solution.
PRP therapy harnesses your body’s natural healing power using concentrated platelets from your own blood.
The Process:
Benefits:
Ozone therapy uses a reactive form of oxygen to eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
Applications:
Important Note: Ozone treats bacterial infections but cannot repair existing decay or fractures.
Dental cavitations are empty spaces in the jawbone, typically resulting from incomplete tooth extractions or root canals. While some practitioners frequently diagnose this condition, our experience tells a different story.
Our Findings:
Out of 200 suspected cavitation cases we’ve evaluated, only 6 were confirmed and successfully treated. We recommend evaluation by our oral surgeon or maxillofacial radiologist for accurate diagnosis using advanced imaging like cone beam CT scans.
We recently treated a patient who came to us with what appeared to be dental cavitations. After careful examination, we discovered her pain actually stemmed from damaged stylohyoid ligaments—a classic case of Eagle syndrome.
Eagle syndrome happens when an elongated styloid process (a small bone beneath your ear) or calcified stylohyoid ligament irritates surrounding nerves. The result? Pain that feels exactly like a dental problem.
Common symptoms include:
This case highlights why proper diagnosis matters. What seems like a straightforward dental issue may require a comprehensive examination, detailed patient history, and imaging studies to uncover the real culprit. Sometimes the answer lies not in your teeth, but in the delicate structures nearby.
When a root canal fails after retreatment and involves surrounding bone and gums (periodontal involvement), treatment options become limited. Symptoms include recurring pain, gum swelling, and tooth mobility.
Our Approach:
We evaluate each case individually. Treatment may include endodontic surgery or tooth extraction with implant replacement. Contact us for a consultation or send us your recent CT scan for evaluation.
We use biocompatible materials free from concerning chemicals like BPA, BHT, HMBP, DPCL, TPSb, HEMA, and TEGDMA. These materials eliminate concerns about endocrine disruption and potential developmental effects.
When amalgam removal is necessary, we follow the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) protocol:
Important Considerations:
The ADA considers dental amalgam to be safe and deems it unethical to replace solely based on unproven health claims. For removal, the standard ADA code is D2950, which covers amalgam removal and tooth preparation. Intact amalgams should only be removed when medically necessary, not for health concerns without substantiated evidence.
We assess each situation individually to determine if amalgam removal is appropriate and beneficial for your specific case.
