“Great experience, personable staff, gentle handling, and efficient services. They have the latest technology and stay up to date in dental practices. There is also an emphasis on long term care, which they demonstrate through clear teaching and explanation so that the patient understands their oral health and the different options they have in how to best take care of themselves. I love everyone who works there!”
We use advanced diagnostics, from bacterial analysis to salivary testing, to understand your unique biology and uncover the root causes of oral health issues.
With a deeper understanding, we prevent problems before they start and preserve your natural teeth, your health, and your quality of life for the long term.
Brain, heart, lungs, liver, gut, joints, pregnancy. Ten connections, one origin.
Your mouth is home to a bacterial ecosystem as individual as you are. At your visit, we sample it and look together, live under our phase contrast microscope, so you can see what's actually happening beneath the surface. When the picture calls for a deeper look, comprehensive salivary testing identifies the specific pathogens involved.
That understanding is the treatment plan. Not a template, not an upsell. A personalized path built on your biology, your history, and your goals, with the most conservative option that truly works. Know more, so we can preserve more.
We reserve about 90 minutes for your first appointment, enough time to actually understand you. Nervous about the dentist? Just tell us. Extra time and a gentler visit are always an option, and we welcome patients with special needs at their own pace.
Schedule your first visitYour forms come to you online through our secure patient portal, so your time with us is spent on your care, not paperwork.
First, a quick stop in our photo room, where we capture clinical photographs of your smile and facial structure. Then you settle into your own room for radiographs of your bone and roots and an iTero digital scan of your bite and alignment.
We examine your plaque live under the microscope to read your unique bacterial profile and what it means for your periodontal and whole-body health. An oral cancer screening rounds out the picture.
Your dentist sits down with you properly: medical history, medications, dental history, diet, home-care habits. Understanding you comes before treating you.
An in-depth exam ties it all together, and we shape a personalized plan around your needs and goals, with every question answered before you leave.
Photos, radiographs, an iTero digital scan, and an unhurried conversation. Your whole picture before any plan.
A live look at your plaque under our phase contrast microscope, plus Fida Labs salivary testing when the picture calls for it. How the testing works
Biocompatible, mercury-free materials and ozone therapy, with the most conservative option that truly works.
When your oral health touches your overall health, we coordinate with your physician. It's one body.
"Your dental visit is more than just a checkup — it's a window into your whole-body health."
