A Whole-Body Approach to Dentistry and Orthodontics
As leaders in biological and holistic dentistry, we understand that oral health is not just about teeth but total body wellness. Your mouth is vital to your entire system, influencing digestion, breathing, immune function, sleep quality, and even chronic pain levels. Research continues to show that what happens in the mouth doesn’t stay in the mouth. Instead, it has profound effects on whole-body health at every stage of life.
Our mission is to help patients break free from the cycle of disease, reduce chronic inflammation, and support the body’s innate ability to heal. Instead of simply treating symptoms or focusing solely on dental aesthetics, we take a comprehensive, root-cause approach to health to identify and remove oral stressors that may be contributing to systemic conditions. Whether it’s hidden infections, airway constriction, or an imbalanced bite, we focus on solutions that enhance both oral function and overall well-being.
Partnering with Functional Medicine for Whole-Body Healing
We frequently collaborate with functional medicine practitioners, as many of our patients are referred to us for conditions such as sleep apnea, TMJ disorders, fibromyalgia and other chronic pain syndromes. In many cases, how the teeth come together can contribute to persistent pain, headaches, and even postural imbalances. Structural issues in the mouth and jaws can also restrict breathing, leading to poor sleep, daytime fatigue, and further systemic dysfunction. By correcting these issues through precise, biocompatible, and minimally invasive interventions, we help relieve pain, increase air flow, improve sleep quality, and restore balance to the body.
More Than Just Teeth: Supporting Overall Health
Our approach goes beyond traditional orthodontics. We believe that true health starts with addressing the foundational pillars of wellness, which include the following:
- Airway and Breathing Health: Ensuring proper jaw development and unobstructed airflow for optimal oxygenation and sleep quality.
- Bite and Jaw Alignment: Preventing and relieving chronic pain, tension, and dysfunction linked to TMJ disorders and postural imbalances.
- Oral Microbiome Balance: Supporting a healthy bacterial environment in the mouth to protect against disease and inflammation by maximizing nasal breathing and minimizing
mouth breathing. - Minimally Invasive, Biocompatible Treatments: Using materials and techniques that work in harmony with the body rather than against it.
By blending modern advancements in biological orthodontics with traditional wisdom, our goal is to help you regain optimal health. We don’t just focus on straight teeth and a perfect bite, but rather we focus on your entire well-being. When oral health is in balance, the whole body thrives so we want to empower our patients to achieve and sustain optimal health. Ready to begin your wellness journey?
