TOTAL ORAL HEALTH DENTISTRY

Looking Beyond Individual Teeth to Create Lasting Oral Health
━━
At Total Dentistry, we don’t see your teeth, gums, and bite as separate problems. We see them as one connected system. Our approach begins by understanding why problems develop and creating treatment plans that protect your oral health for the long term.
Explore the principles that guide every examination and every treatment recommendation we make.
A Different Way of Thinking About Dentistry
━━
Many dental problems are connected.
- A cracked tooth may result from excessive bite forces.
- Repeated cavities may develop because certain teeth are difficult to clean.
- A crown that fractures may be a sign of underlying bite imbalance.
- Loose teeth may be caused by advancing gum disease.
Instead of simply repairing the damage, we believe it’s important to understand why the problem developed. When the underlying cause is identified, treatment is often more predictable, more conservative, and longer lasting.
This philosophy guides every examination, every diagnosis, and every treatment recommendation we make.

Finding the Cause
Most dental problems don’t happen overnight. Learn why understanding the cause—not just treating the symptom—creates healthier, longer-lasting results.
Healthy Teeth, Healthy Gums, Healthy Bite
Long-term oral health depends on keeping all three healthy. Explore how they work together to create a stable, comfortable smile.
Understanding Bite Function
Your bite influences how your teeth wear, how restorations last, and even jaw comfort. Learn why bite analysis is an important part of comprehensive care.
Every Treatment Plan Starts With Understanding
━━
Before recommending treatment, we take time to understand your oral health as a whole—not just the problem that brought you into the office.
Your examination may include:
- A conversation about your concerns and goals
- Evaluation of your teeth
- Assessment of your gum health
- Bite analysis
- Digital X-rays when appropriate
- Clinical photographs to help you better understand your oral health
- Oral cancer screening
By looking at the complete picture, we can identify immediate concerns, recognize factors that may affect your long-term oral health, and create a personalized treatment plan that fits your goals.
