Health Focused Whole body health

We know that dental disease is related to over 65 chronic health conditions such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Our focus is not  just on saving teeth, but on detecting and managing the issues that lead to dental disease.  You can be sick with a healthy mouth, but you cannot be healthy with a sick mouth.

Longevity Lasting results Lifetime health

Traditionally, dentists treat problems caused by dental disease rather than treating the cause of the disease itself. This causes unnecessary damage not only to your mouth, but to your overall health and costs you more money. Our approach creates a long-term plan to improve your dental and systemic health for your lifetime.

What Makes Us Different?

Modern Dentistry’s approach begins with a personalized assessment of your dental health. The assessment summarizes your mouth’s current condition, how that contributes to your overall health and predicts risks before they become problems.
