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 a Biologic Dentistry Evaluation

🧠 3D Cone Beam Imaging

This advanced radiographic technology enables detailed 3D visualization of oral structures. It’s used to:

• Rule out periapical lesions (infections at the root tip)
• Detect inflammation from infections, amalgam fillings, or extractions
• Examine bone quality and sinus proximity for surgical planning

🔬 Phase-Contrast Microscopy

Practitioners can visually evaluate the oral microbiome—the community of microorganisms in the mouth. This helps:

• Provide real-time microbial analysis
• Monitor oral health during treatment
• Identify early signs of dysbiosis (microbial imbalance)

🌬️ Apnea and Mouth Breathing Screening

Chronic mouth breathing and undiagnosed sleep apnea can alter salivary pH and cause:

• Increased risk of decay and gum disease
• Dry mouth and irritation
• Systemic issues like fatigue and inflammation

🧪 PCR Saliva Testing

PCR analysis detects bacterial DNA in saliva, revealing:

• Pathogens linked to gum disease
• Markers impacting heart health and pregnancy
• Levels of inflammatory response

🧬 Full Genome Sequencing

This method maps the entire oral microbiome and allows:

• Identification of genetic risk factors
• Highly personalized treatment strategies
• Deep insights into long-term health influences

Why It Matters

Biologic dental evaluations help practitioners move beyond symptoms to uncover root causes. This leads to more effective, individualized treatment and empowers patients to take charge of their health.

Whether you're dealing with chronic illness or simply want preventive care, biologic dentistry offers a path to healing that’s both high-tech and whole-body focused.
