Services
Holistic Teeth Whitening
Our organic whitening uses natural ingredients to safely remove stains while strengthening enamel. Unlike chemical-based treatments, this method remineralizes teeth and reduces sensitivity. Patients receive lasting results without compromising dental health, making it ideal for those seeking environmentally friendly cosmetic solutions.
Mercury Removal
Specialized protocol safely removes mercury fillings while minimizing exposure. We employ advanced filtration systems and protective barriers for patient and staff safety. Post-removal guidance includes detoxification support and biocompatible replacement options, addressing both dental and systemic health concerns.
Oral Cancer Screening
Digital imaging and DNA testing identify early signs of oral cancer and precancerous conditions. This preventive service analyzes genetic markers and bacterial presence linked to systemic diseases. Regular screenings help detect abnormalities before they progress, improving treatment outcomes and patient survival rates.
Root Canals
Minimally invasive root canal therapy preserves damaged teeth using biocompatible materials. We address infection while maintaining natural tooth structure, preventing extraction needs. Post-treatment care includes monitoring healing and ensuring long-term oral-systemic health connections remain uncompromised.
Teeth Grinding Therapy
Custom night guards and muscle relaxation techniques alleviate grinding-related damage. We address underlying stress factors contributing to bruxism while protecting enamel integrity. Treatment plans combine physical therapy with behavioral modifications for comprehensive symptom relief.

The worst dentist when it comes to ethics, billing and skills; remarkably poor self control and bedside manners

Report
While on vacation in Seattle a cap fell off my tooth. Fortunately I was able to save it. I was walking through the marketplace I looked up and saw the sign for the dentist. This was my lucky day after making a call I was able to see him shortly. What a great experience, one of the best dental experiences of my life. Very kind and caring and took his time to be sure I was comfortable with everything he was doing. The staff was wonderful
