An Integrative Approach to Dentistry

Your oral health is a vital part of your overall well-being. Our health-centered approach focuses on prevention, early detection, and treatments that support total wellness. During every visit, we take time to understand your health history, evaluate how your mouth and body work together, and provide gentle, minimally invasive care designed to keep you comfortable and healthy. Our goal is to protect your smile and promote lasting wellness—because caring for your mouth means caring for your whole body.

Yes! We regularly remove amalgam fillings and restorations and replace them with tooth-colored composite or ceramic fillings or restorations. Not only are these restorations natural-looking, durable, and healthy, but they reduce the risk of mercury exposure. We are a mercury-safe dental practice.

Although every procedure we offer uses a holistic approach, we do offer a few unique procedures you won’t find in your average dental office.

  • Ozone therapy is a safe procedure that neutralizes damaging acids in the mouth. It can reverse the decay process and occasionally help repair cavities without the need for dental fillings.
  • The DNA appliance is a holistic sleep apnea treatment that treats the underlying cause of the condition by establishing a healthy and attractive bite structure. The appliance reshapes the jaw to enlarge the airway

We Take Sanitation & Safety Seriously

As a modern dental practice in San Jose, we utilize the latest technology and techniques to ensure our patients have a completely safe and sanitary experience. We use high-speed suction equipment and a vacuum system to capture and filter saliva, droplets, and particles from dental procedures. Our medical-grade electrical air filters had already provided an extra layer of safety against airborne bacteria and viral particles. We also use Surgically Clean Air which is a medical-grade air filter that removes chemicals, toxins, germs, odors, and viruses.
