Welcome To Top Down Dental

At Top Down Dental, we strongly believe that a dentist should focus on oral-systemic health. Your mouth is the entrance to your body. By design, everything in the mouth has a pathway into your body. A healthy mouth establishes a firm foundation for your overall health, while disease in the mouth undermines your health from all sides.

A Holistic Approach To Dentistry

Oral health can affect whole-body health and vice versa. Our holistic approach to dentistry means that we treat your oral health in order to benefit your overall well-being. Our holistic approach involves a comprehensive look at your health by completing six different screenings including a health risk assessment, head and neck exam, airway health screening, occlusal screening, restorative screening, and periodontal screening. We also utilize minimally invasive treatments, mercury-free dental fillings, and restorations, and avoid toxic chemicals and compounds as much as necessary.

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.
  • NuCalm is a drug-free alternative to sedation dentistry that helps you stay relaxed during your procedure and feel refreshed afterward.

We Take Sanitation & Safety Seriously

As a holistic dental practice, 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.
