Pathogen Testing
The bacteria in your mouth do more than affect your teeth and gums—they play a powerful role in your brain, heart, immune system, and even your risk for chronic disease.
With our advanced pathogen testing, we can detect harmful microbes like P. gingivalis and oral spirochetes—bacteria that research has linked to neurodegenerative conditions, cardiovascular disease, and even cancer risk. These pathogens often hide silently in the gums or saliva, influencing your health long before symptoms appear.
By identifying imbalances early, we can personalize your care with therapies that purify, protect, and support your body’s natural healing. Whether you're looking to prevent future illness or address existing inflammation, this insight allows us to work with your body—not just treat symptoms.

Intraoral Cameras
What if you could see exactly what your dentist sees? You'd probably find it simpler to make informed decisions about your oral health!
Intraoral cameras allow you to do precisely that. Using a small digital camera embedded in a wand, the dentist can move it around your mouth and transmit the images instantly to a chairside monitor. This allows you to see everything the dentist describes, including damage to the teeth and signs that might indicate periodontal disease.
