Patient Retention
94%

of our anxious patients return voluntarily within 6 months.

Most of them hadn't seen a dentist in years before they found us. We don't rush, we don't judge, and we never use language that makes your body brace for impact.

Wholeness waiting room with living plants, natural wood shelving, warm pendant lights, and no fluorescent overhead lighting

Our waiting room. Plants, natural wood, low lighting. You'll notice your shoulders drop.

Ceramic dental tools and biocompatible materials arranged on a white tray with a small eucalyptus sprig beside them

Biocompatible ceramics, composite resins, and ozone therapy β€” the materials we use and why.

Mercury in Our Practice
0

amalgam fillings placed or recommended. Ever. By anyone on our team.

We follow the IAOMT SMART protocol for removal β€” rubber dam, high-volume evacuation, sectioning technique. The systemic load of mercury is real, and we take it seriously.

Clinical Outcomes
3.2Γ—

fewer secondary cavities in patients who switched to biological cleaning protocols.

When we treat the terrain β€” your microbiome, your saliva chemistry, your breathing patterns β€” teeth stop being a recurring problem. That's the difference between managing symptoms and addressing causes.

Pediatric wellness visits are built differently here β€” slow, exploratory, and always at the child's pace.

Our Philosophy

The drill is
the last resort.

Biological dentistry begins with the question most practices skip: Why is this happening? We treat the root cause, not the symptom β€” because a cavity is a message, not just a hole.

Whole-body lens

We ask about your sleep, your stress, and your diet before we ever open your mouth.

Biocompatible only

No mercury, no BPA, no fluoride unless you choose it. Every material is tested for compatibility.

Trauma-informed care

We go at your pace. You hold the remote. White towels, warm lighting, and a pause whenever you need.
