Holistic Dentistry
Our holistic dentistry approach recognizes the mouth-body connection, using non-toxic materials and minimally invasive techniques to improve overall health. We focus on preventive care, mercury-safe removal, and biocompatibility testing to ensure treatments support systemic wellness. This comprehensive approach addresses dental issues while considering their potential impact on the entire body.
Safe Amalgam Removal
We specialize in SMART-certified amalgam removal using protective protocols to minimize mercury exposure. Our process includes room air filtration, rubber dams, and high-volume suction to ensure patient and staff safety during the removal of toxic silver fillings. We replace them with biocompatible composite materials.
Biocompatibility Testing
Our biocompatibility testing identifies materials least likely to cause adverse reactions in your body. Using bioelectrical assessments, we determine which restorative materials will work best for your unique biological profile, ensuring dental treatments support rather than compromise your health.
Sleep Dentistry
We offer nitrous oxide sedation and oral sedation options to help anxious patients receive necessary dental care comfortably. Our gentle approach combined with specialized training in anxiety management creates a stress-free environment for patients with dental phobias or special needs.
3D CT Scanning
Our 3D cone beam CT technology provides detailed anatomical views with reduced radiation exposure. This advanced imaging helps diagnose complex issues like airway obstructions, TMJ disorders, and dental infections more accurately than traditional X-rays, enabling precise treatment planning.

Well I have to say that I'm impressed with what I've experienced thus far. I'm into Holistic practice's and I'd say they're doing a good job of practicing it. Truth be told after living in a world of no one really considering what's best for you, I was blown away. I'd like to thank Teresa and her staff for creating this opportunity for their patients and actually caring for their patients. Treating the cause and not just the symptom is the only path to a healthy lifestyle.
I've had upwards of $10,000.00 worth of suspect and toxic dental work throughout the years and have had declining health issues as well. My story may become greater as I've begun this journey with them, time will tell.

Not to put personal out there- but I had a traumatic experience at another provider years ago which left me with dental ptsd. As soon as I let Dr Scott know this, she and her whole staff made sure it was a plesent experience and I no longer stress about going to get dental work done. They are amazing people! Highly recommend!

Dr Teresa Scott is so kind, thorough, and respectful of your choice after she's given you as much information as possible to make an informed decision. I respect her and highly recommend her practice to anyone who is looking for a dentist who truly cares about your whole health! My 3 year old daughter loves going there. When asked how she was feeling a few hours after her procedure, she said "I'm happy smiling that I'm not ouch!" That says so much.

This practice is amazing. I went to them as a new patient with an infected tooth. Upon checking me and determining that the situation was critical, Dr. Scott changed her schedule and performed extractions of two teeth. For the first time in days, I had relief. I have already been back for great followup checkups since, all of which occurred before my previous oral surgeon could even perform his initial assessment on me. I have also learned from Dr. Scott how important my mouth's health affects everything about my overall health. I told Dr. Scott it is a blessing to be her patient.
