Our General Dental Care Keeps Your Whole Health in Mind

At our practice, we are always saying, “On a good day, we change a smile. On a great day, we change a life.” We’re one of the few practices in the area that offers a biological approach to your dental treatments. Our general dental services ensure that your smile remains in top shape. We address problems when they are small, instead of when they become an emergency. By visiting Synergy Dental Center, you are visiting with a board-certified naturopathic physician who uses a holistic approach to oral care. Dr. Porter doesn’t just treat the symptoms, but the core cause behind an oral health problem. This ensures it doesn’t arise again and cause later complications to your oral health.

Some of our general treatments include:

• Dental Cleanings and Exams – We’ll thoroughly clean your teeth to get rid of plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria. For your examination, we’ll identify cavities with our DIAGNOdent laser detection system, look for signs of oral cancer with our VELscope, and identify infected gums with microscopes. We also can perform A1C blood tests to see if you’re at risk for diabetes.
• Gum Disease Treatment – Our Fotona LightWalker^® laser removes the infection in your gums without the need for a surgery procedure. It’s a safer process, and you’ll heal faster too. We can also use bacteria gum therapy to lessen your healing time.
• Mouthguards – Protect your smile while playing sports with a custom-made mouthguard created with digital impressions and our 3-D printer.
• Night Guards – Avoid the damage of bruxism (or teeth grinding) with an oral appliance that acts as a barrier between your teeth. You can comfortably wear it at night, so you wake up without pain.
• Nutritional Counseling – Your nutritional choices play a large part in the health of your mouth and body. We’ll help you make better decisions in your diet to achieve a better smile and overall health.

We also follow the ReCODE Protocol approach for patients vulnerable to Alzheimer’s. By diagnosing and treating dental infections, removing mercury or metal fillings, and relieving your sleep apnea problems, you can reduce your risk for this disease.

We avoid mercury-based fillings and fluoride treatments. It’s our way of safeguarding your body from harmful materials. If you want to replace any fillings made with mercury, Dr. Porter has SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technology) certification from the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology to safely remove them from your mouth.

Before your next appointment with us, you may want to do a self-screening for chronic system inflammation as well as a tooth decay risk assessment to gain an understanding of your overall and oral health.
