Protecting your smile is our sole mission.

Here’s how we do it:

Step 1:

We start with a thorough health history and perform a comprehensive intraoral exam including fluorescence based oral cancer screening.

Step 2:

We perform a microbiome analysis through Bristle Health to analyze your risk of developing caries and periodontitis.

Step 3:

We obtain a record of your teeth using the latest intraoral scanner equipped with NIRI technology which has the capability to detect caries (cavities) without having to take X-Rays!

We still have the technology to take X-rays when necessary, however we minimize it as best as we can for everyone and generally entirely avoid it on kids.

Step 4:

We remove biofilm as well as stains and other debris from your teeth. side effect: you get to enjoy your matcha tea guilt free knowing all that stain will come right off!

The Swiss made AirFlow device not only thoroughly cleanses teeth but does so with warmed water and without any sharp instruments - it feels more like a relaxing gum massage than a dental cleaning!

Step 5:

Remember that scan we took in step 3? we use it to make you medicament trays that can be used to apply tooth strengthening gels as well as bleaching gels on to your teeth!

We’ll also use it to make you a nightguard and sports guard to protect your teeth from physical damage!

Step 6:

We provide you with sustainable fluoride free oral care accessories so that you are able to maintain your pearly whites until you see us again!

No Shots. No Drilling.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • We work with most PPO dental insurance providers to maximize your dental insurance plan benefits. Dental insurance plans have not yet caught up to our innovative approach to preventive dental care, therefore most patients will still need to pay out of pocket at the time of service. However since many of our procedures are covered benefits you can expect to get reimbursed by your PPO insurance at close to 100%. We do all the legwork and insurnce submissions - all you have to do is wait for a check in the mail, which is typically sent out within one to two weeks.

  • We are in the business of preventing dental caries and find it to be a conflict of interest to also be treating caries. Therefore, we do not restore cavities at our dental practice. However we will provide you with a detailed treatment plan and we will help you find a local dentist you will love.

  • Periodontal disease is complicated. It often starts with plaque that migrates below the gumline and hardens turning into calculus which can be very tenacious and difficult to remove. This subgingival calculus often harbors harmful bacteriae which further propagate the disease and cause bone loss and gum recession. Once periodontal disease has set in, more drastic measures are necessary. If this is the case, we will help you choose a local periodontist who will be able to address your complex periodontal needs. The data we gain through our thorogh diagnosis and microbiome analysis will often times be very helpful in your long term periodontal health maintainance.

  • It depends - periodontal scaling and root planing (SRP) is often colloquially referred to as deep cleaning, however often times SRPs are not warranted and we are able to stave off periodontal disease with our preventive measures. If the disease process has progressed beyond prevention, we will help you find a local periodontist who will be able to help you regain your periodontal health!
