What is a wellness dentist?

Wellness dentistry, or natural dentistry, considers the health of your entire body, not just your mouth.

  • A wellness dentist understands that what happens in your mouth can impact your entire body—and vice versa. Cavities or gum disease may be influenced by conditions like mouth breathing or sleep apnea, for example.
  • Wellness dentistry is less invasive, less stressful and more conducive to your long-term health and well-being.

We make recommendations for treatment to promote optimal oral health and address systemic issues, as well as for strengthening the body to prevent all types of illness.

The benefits of
Oceana Wellness Dentistry

  1. Personalized comprehensive testing.
    Our mouth culture tests identify the specific strains of bacteria in your mouth, which helps us tailor treatment to your needs. Our intake exam and blood tests identify allergens and sensitivities so we can avoid using them.
  2. Early warning on systemic issues.
    When we look at your mouth, we can discover underlying issues that are affecting the rest of your body so you can take action. 
  3. Improve your total body health.
    Our health care partners help you improve your lifestyle for better oral and overall health.
  4. Exceptional value.
    Our proactive approach can mean fewer expensive dental procedures down the road.
  5. Emphasis on biocompatible materials.
    Biocompatible materials do not cause a toxic or allergic response in the body. We use ceramic zirconia implants as opposed to titanium, BPA-free composite fillings, and where possible are fluoride-free and latex free. 
  6. Growth factors for faster healing.
    When we prepare for surgeries we do blood separation tests in a centrifuge to collect growth factors for faster healing. Not many practices offer this service.
  7. Safe, proven options.
    Wellness dentistry is more evidence-based in its approach, and considers the scientific evidence to back up the validity, effectiveness and safety of the treatment.
