Advancing Oral Health Through Biologic Dentistry Evaluation

Biologic dentistry represents a paradigm shift in oral healthcare—one that sees the mouth not as a separate entity, but as an integral part of the entire body. This approach focuses on uncovering underlying imbalances, chronic inflammation, and systemic links that can affect both oral and overall health.

At the forefront of this approach is a comprehensive, science-backed evaluation protocol designed to identify root causes of disease and guide minimally invasive, biocompatible treatment plans.

Key Components of Biologic Dentistry Evaluation

Your evaluation looks beyond teeth. Each step supports oral health and whole-body balance.

• 3D Cone Beam Imaging
  This advanced imaging technology shows teeth, bone, joints, and airway in high detail. This helps identify hidden infections and rule out periapical lesions (infections at the root tip). It allows us to evaluate bone loss, assess bone quality and sinus proximity for surgical planning. Detecting inflammation related to infections, amalgam fillings, or past extractions.It can also reveal airway concerns that may affect breathing and sleep.
• Apnea and Mouth Breathing Screening
  Screening checks how you breathe during sleep and daily life. Poor breathing patterns link to gum disease, fatigue, and inflammation.
• Saliva Testing, Oral DNA PCR, and Genetic Risk Factors
  Saliva analysis identifies harmful bacteria and inflammation markers. Genetic data shows how your body responds to infection and gum disease. Results guide precise and personalized care.
• Food Sensitivity Testing: Reduce Inflammation at the Source
  Food sensitivities can exacerbate oral and systemic inflammation by overactivating the immune system. These chronic responses may worsen conditions like periodontitis by impairing gut health and increasing the permeability of mucosal barriers—similar to LPS-triggered pathways. By identifying trigger foods, patients can modify their diets, reduce inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1, TNF-α), and improve both oral and general health.
