Our Core Philosophy
Philosophy
We practice dentistry that respects the profound connection between the mouth and the rest of the body. Our goal is to remove disease and restore function using the most biocompatible, least toxic materials and techniques available — while always prioritizing evidence-based care, genuine informed consent, and your individual needs and values.
We Believe
The mouth is not separate from the body; dental materials and infections can influence systemic health.
Mercury amalgam, fluoride, and root-canal-treated teeth are not automatically “toxic” or “dangerous” for everyone, but they carry real risks that must be openly discussed.
Every procedure (extraction, implant, filling, orthodontics) has trade-offs. We will never hide those trade-offs to make a sale.
Minimally invasive dentistry is usually better than heroic dentistry — preserve healthy tooth structure whenever it is truly in the patient’s long-term interest.
True holistic care includes optimizing nutrition for remineralization and inflammation reduction, ensuring proper airway development and function to prevent breathing issues, and promoting quality sleep by addressing factors like jaw alignment, tongue posture, and related disorders that impact energy, immunity, and long-term health.
You own your body and your teeth. Our job is to give you the most accurate, up-to-date information possible — including the areas where science is still uncertain — so you can make decisions without pressure or guilt.”
