We Go a Step Further With Your Dental Checkups

When you visit a biological dentist, you won’t get the usual examination you would receive anywhere else. Instead, Dr. Porter takes your entire body in mind when treating your oral care needs. Asking for a dental physical includes a complete examination of your overall health, along with many tests such as:

• Cavity Detection – We use a DIAGNOdent laser detection system to recognize the signs of tooth decay and cavities that are easy to miss with the naked eye.
• Oral Cancer Screening – We’ll look for indications of oral cancer in its early stages using our VELscope Enhanced Oral Assessment System. The sooner you catch this disease, the easier it is to treat.
• A1C Test – We can evaluate your risk for diabetes with this test that measures your blood sugar level. It can determine your risk for gum disease and other oral health issues.
• HRV Test – We’ll use a heart rate variability (HRV) test to assess the health of your automatic nervous system, which regulates basic functions like heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and more.
• Oral Bacterial Test – To get ahead of gum disease, we’ll take a gum sample and look under a microscope to check for signs of an infection. Then, we’ll use an outside lab to confirm the results. It’ll help us provide personalized recommendations for issues like dry mouth and bad breath as well.
• Additional Tests – We have additional tests that evaluate your whole body health, such as testing your thyroid, adrenals, stomach acid, vitamin D, nitric oxide, and PH levels.

Along with a thorough dental exam and digital X-rays, we’ll use the information we gather to build an individual treatment plan that puts you on the path to wellness.

Feel Confident About Your Dental Visits

You want to visit a team that cares about you entirely, not just your teeth. When you choose a holistic dentist, you are partnering with someone who takes the long view. Dr. Porter understands that your body and mouth have a connection and when one isn’t healthy, the other is affected. We’re also a fluoride-free office and use materials biocompatible with your body.

In addition, your comfort is our priority. We have sedation options through laughing gas, oral sedation with a small pill, and IV sedation. Discuss your level of anxiety with your dentist and he’ll recommend which sedation is right for you. During your appointment, you can also feel at home with our heated massage chairs, blankets, and other amenities. Most importantly, you’ll never feel like just another patient. Instead, you’ll feel like you’re among friends.
