Holistic Dentistry
Our holistic approach treats dental issues by addressing their root causes through non-toxic, biocompatible materials and advanced technologies. We focus on the mouth-body connection, using ozone therapy, laser treatments, and 3D imaging to create personalized care plans. This method supports natural healing while avoiding harmful substances like mercury fillings, ensuring treatments align with your overall health goals.
Dental Implants
We offer ceramic/zirconia implants as natural-looking, metal-free solutions for missing teeth. Using CBCT scans, we assess bone density and may recommend bone grafts or PRF therapy to ensure successful placement. Our biological protocol preserves jawbone structure and prevents atrophy, with treatments designed to restore function and aesthetics while maintaining long-term oral health through biocompatible materials.
Teeth Cleanings
Our non-toxic cleanings remove calculus and plaque using specialized tools, hand instruments, and polishing techniques. We emphasize preventive care to maintain optimal oral health, following ADA recommendations for regular checkups. Our hygienists focus on thorough yet gentle removal of tartar above and below the gum line, helping prevent tooth decay and gum disease through professional care combined with patient education.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
We specialize in treating obstructive sleep apnea through customized oral appliances that improve breathing during sleep. Our dentists collaborate with physicians to create personalized solutions, particularly for patients who struggle with CPAP machines. Using advanced diagnostics, we develop treatment plans that address snoring and sleep-disordered breathing while improving overall health and quality of life through non-invasive, comfortable oral devices.
Tooth Extractions
Our biological extraction protocol removes teeth completely while preserving jawbone health. We use ozone therapy, laser disinfection, and PRF to promote healing and prevent complications like dry socket. The procedure includes biocompatible bone grafting to maintain socket integrity, with post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal recovery. Our approach minimizes trauma and supports natural healing processes through advanced techniques and personalized aftercare.

I brought my twin daughters for their dental check up to the Smart Dentistry practice after having an amazing experience myself. My daughters were greeted with love and kindness. The dentist was sweet and made sure my girls knew everything that is being done to them. She educated them with age appropriate language as well. The experience was just right for us. The girls had fun and absolutely no fear. Dr. Sand engaged them and made sure they have a positive experience. She was incredibly gentle and kind. I wish all children would have this experience. Giving 10 stars!!

There's not enough words to describe my experience at Holistic Dentistry. I recently moved to the area and was desperately trying to find a new office. All I can say is WOW! They were incredibly professional from beginning to end. Dr. Sand is very passionate about what she does and you can tell from the way she treats you during each visit. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat!
