Services
Holistic Dentistry
Our holistic approach addresses oral health as a critical component of systemic wellness, using biocompatible materials and root-cause analysis to create personalized treatment plans. We prioritize non-toxic alternatives like mercury-free fillings and ozone therapy to minimize health risks while promoting natural healing. This method ensures dental treatments support overall physical and emotional well-being.
Safe Amalgam Removal
We follow IAOMT-certified protocols for mercury filling removal, including dedicated ventilation rooms and protective barriers to prevent exposure. Our process prioritizes patient safety through specialized equipment and techniques that minimize mercury vapor release during extraction, ensuring a clean clinical environment throughout the procedure.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses custom SmartTrack aligners to gradually straighten teeth without brackets or wires. These removable, nearly invisible trays allow better oral hygiene maintenance and fewer dental visits compared to traditional braces. Our dentists create personalized treatment plans for comfortable, discreet orthodontic correction.
Teeth Whitening
Our at-home whitening system achieves noticeable results in two weeks using custom-fitted trays. The process requires 30 minutes daily and includes long-term touch-up options. This conservative approach enhances smiles while maintaining enamel integrity through professional-grade, low-abrasion whitening solutions.
Healthy Start System
This non-invasive system corrects sleep-disordered breathing and orthodontic issues in children using myofunctional appliances. The Habit Corrector addresses mouth breathing, thumb sucking, and improper tongue positioning while promoting proper airway development. Early intervention prevents future dental and systemic health complications through natural growth guidance.

Report
Dr. Babcock is fantastic. Another dentist performed a cleaning and recommended a route canal for my wife. The next day we went to see Dr. Babcock for a second opinion. She discovered a cavity missed by the first dentist, removed large deposits of plaque that weren't addressed the day before, and recommended a different treatment other than a route canal. Very impressed.

Two years ago we took my grandson to his first dentist appointment with another dentist. He had a mouth full of cavities, his enamel was disappearing, and he had a broken tooth.

I am so grateful that we knew better than to follow that advice. We knew his tooth decay was because of

Dr. Babcock was wonderful to work with. She spent an hour with me on my first appointment just as a consultation. Really got to know my needs and concerns. She explained a lot of stuff to me that my prior Dentists never took the time for. Her staff was just as helpful. I'd definitely recommend Dr. Babcock.

Dr. Babcock has done so much for me and my daughter!!!! Dr. Babcock is a true professional with a gift for calming a stressed out mom!

I used to feel terrible, but with the toxic Mercury out of my body, I feel great! My daughter had several crowns put on by another dentist who did a terrible job. Dr. Babcock showed me what was wrong with the work that had been done by the other dentist. The ill-fitting crown was causing my daughter pain and allowing bacteria to get
