Holistic/biological dentistry: A core focus, this involves Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) for enhanced healing, ozone therapy for its antimicrobial properties, and SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) protocol for safe removal of old mercury fillings, minimizing patient exposure to toxins. Restorative Dentistry: They provide restorative treatments using only the safest and most biocompatible materials, free from BPA and fluoride, for damaged or decayed teeth. This includes ceramic implants as a metal-free alternative for tooth replacement and biological extractions with ozone and PRF for optimal recovery. Airway & Sleep Assessment: Comprehensive assessments using advanced imaging and at-home sleep tests are offered to diagnose and treat disorders like obstructive sleep apnea, contributing to improved sleep and overall health. Functional Frenuloplasty: Utilizing advanced techniques, including a Lightscalpel CO2 laser, Dr. Schindler addresses tongue-ties and lip-ties in both children and adults to restore proper oral function. Biocompatibility Material Testing: Patients can undergo testing to ensure the dental materials used are compatible with their body, reducing the risk of allergic reactions. Saliva Testing: Advanced Bristle saliva testing identifies specific bacteria causing periodontal disease, allowing for personalized treatment plans.
