Choose General Dental Care With a Total Health Focus

You won’t find many dental practices in our area – or anywhere – that offer biologic dentistry. This is why we say, “On a good day, we change a smile. On a great day, we change a life.” For your sake, our practice provides a mix of basic and more advanced services:

• Dental Cleanings and Exams – In addition to regular checkups, we offer A1C blood tests to identify your risk of diabetes, use the DIAGNOdent laser detection system to find cavities and VELscope to detect signs of oral cancer, and use microscopes to see possible gum infections.
• Gum Disease Treatment – We use the Fotona LightWalker^® dental laser to remove infected tissue and protect more of your healthy tissue than gum surgery can. Our bacteria gum therapy reduces your recovery time, too.
• Mouthguards – Stay in the game with a custom athletic mouthguard made with digital impressions and our 3-D printer.
• Night Guards – If you suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding), an oral appliance can protect your teeth while you sleep.
• Nutritional Counseling – Your diet may be a factor in oral and overall health problems if you are overweight, have breathing issues, or have difficulty getting a good night’s sleep.

We want your whole body to be as healthy as it can be, so we avoid materials that could introduce toxins to the body. This is why we use mercury-free fillings and fluoride-free treatments. If you have fillings with mercury now, Dr. Porter is certified in the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology’s SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) to remove them safely for you.

As a board-certified naturopathic physician, Dr. Porter brings a holistic view to oral care. We want to proactively prevent problems as much as possible. For example, we use the ReCODE Protocol approach to address three major dental health risks that make you vulnerable to pre-Alzheimer’s. Diagnosing and treating dental infections, removing mercury or metal fillings, and relieving your sleep apnea problems help reduce your risk for this disease.

You’ll find that we focus on solving the root cause instead of just treating the symptoms. With that in mind, you may benefit from completing a self-screening for chronic system inflammation as well as a tooth decay risk assessment.
