Grounded

in Care

An approach that unites health, function, and beauty with thoughtful judgment.

Overview of Whole-Body

Science-Based Care

Most dental care focuses on fixing problems after they appear. This practice looks deeper, finding patterns early and creating care that lasts.

Everything begins with a framework of Health, Function, and Beauty.  When these three elements are balanced with sound judgment, care becomes clearer, more effective, and longer lasting.

“True prevention starts with understanding the whole person, not just their teeth.”

Dr. Mark Smith

What Sets this

Practice Apart

Care Designed Around the Individual

Care is not driven by insurance codes or production goals. Each treatment plan is matched to the person in the chair, built around their health needs, goals, and values.

This approach allows for real conversation, early intervention, and treatment that supports the entire person, not just their mouth.

Core Values and Messaging Pillars

Start with a Conversation

Every relationship begins with listening. Each visit starts with understanding your story, your concerns, and your goals. By beginning with conversation, care plans are built around what matters most to you.

Keep Learning, Because Science Never Stops Evolving

Dentistry is not static, and neither is this practice. Ongoing study in airway health, inflammation, and systemic wellness ensures that care reflects the latest science. Patients benefit from a continuous commitment to learning and improvement.

Let Science Lead, Even When It Changes

Science evolves, and so does care. Treatments and protocols are guided by the best evidence available today, while remaining open to tomorrow’s discoveries. This mindset keeps care adaptable and informed.

Treat Early and Treat Small When Possible

Small, early interventions prevent larger problems later. This philosophy values subtle adjustments, minimally invasive treatment, and prevention-focused strategies that protect long-term health.

Focus on One Person at a Time

This practice values presence over pace. Each patient receives full attention, time to ask questions, and space to make informed decisions. Care is never rushed.

Go to the Root Cause, Not Just the Symptom

Symptoms are signals. The goal is to uncover what lies beneath them. Using diagnostics such as salivary testing, airway evaluation, and inflammation screening, we identify root causes rather than masking them with temporary fixes.

Integration With Others Providers

Connected Care Across Disciplines

Oral health is inseparable from the rest of the body. This practice collaborates with ENTs, sleep specialists, and myofunctional therapists when appropriate, ensuring that each patient receives care that connects the mouth, airway, and systemic health.Many dental concerns, such as clenching, grinding, reflux, or morning headaches, are often signs of airway or sleep-related issues.

These partnerships allow for complete, coordinated care that looks beyond the surface to create long-term wellness.

Collaboration creates continuity, and continuity builds health that lasts.

Start with a Conversation

Every care plan begins with listening. The first step is a conversation to understand your needs and goals.
