Integrative Dentistry

Integrative Dentistry: is the interceptive approach to dental care that incorporates the factors that create esthetics, comfort, and stability. Being able to chew comfortably, having a nice smile, and having a stable healthy oral environment are the foundation blocks of Integrative dentistry. Because everyone is different, it is important to identify the factors in each individual that can lead to wear and breakdown in teeth, fillings, and gums. By incorporating an interceptive approach we can offer Integrative dental care and bring together those factors of health, stability and function, with comfort and esthetics.

Integrative dentistry incorporates the principals of dental care that provide:

• Optimum Health (teeth and gums are free of cavities, worn out leaking fillings)
• Stability (the teeth and gums are strong and sturdy)
• Function (the normal purpose and use of the teeth and gums)
• Comfort (a natural relaxed feeling)
• Esthetics (pleasing attractive appearance)

Periodic Exam: A periodic exam and check-up is an excellent way to minimize and, in many instances, prevent major dental problems from developing. It also allows us to monitor the dental care that we have provided and make any adjustments as necessary due to normal “wear and tear."
