General Dentistry

Medicine Wheel Dental offers all general dentistry services that you would find at any dentist office. The reason we are called holistic is because we provide you with total body wellness care. We consider your entire body’s well being, not just your teeth.

Comprehensive New Patient exam

This is the single most important visit to determine your needs and to present treatment options. We spend a lot of time listening and exploring dental and medical history as well as your current symptomology and health/wellness profile. Aside from a thorough clinical dental exam, we also evaluate jaw/bite/body interrelationships, soft tissue and oral cancer screening. Depending on the complexity of the case, we may require additional diagnostic records (study models, tests, or specialty x-rays, etc.). We suggest you bring any current (within 2 years) x-rays with you to this appointment or we will recommend obtaining these records here.

Limited Oral Examination (Emergency Care)

This examination is to evaluate a specific urgent/pressing need or concern. Once this is addressed an appointment for a comprehensive exam will be scheduled.

Periodic Examinations

While most patients are used to the dentist spending 3 – 5 minutes at the end of a cleaning appointment to do a dental exam, our periodic examination is typically a 15 – 30 minute stand alone appointment where we reevaluate with the thoroughness of a comprehensive new patient exam (we suggest this service annually at minimum).

Consultation/2nd Opinions

Many times those who are being presented with a treatment they are unsure of, or want to learn what natural/alternative approaches may be available, come in for this service. We can also provide 2nd opinions and guidance if you are restricted to an in-network dental insurance plan.

Digital X-rays

This state of the art technology produces very clear diagnostics at 1/9th the radiation exposure of already low dose standard dental x-rays.

  • Note – For those wanting to minimize the impact energetically consider going to your local homeopathic pharmacy or health food store and purchasing homeopathic “x-ray” 30c or homeopathic “Clorox” 30c
