You've probably never Googled what your fillings are actually made of.

Most people haven't. But mercury amalgam is still one of the most commonly placed filling materials in the United States — and most patients don't find out until they start looking on their own. Same goes for nickel-based crowns and composites containing BPA.

Biocompatible materials — ceramic restorations, zirconia, BPA-free composites — are selected based on how your body receives them. Less inflammation. Less sensitivity. Better healing over time.

Your dentist chooses materials for every filling, crown, and implant. Those choices affect your immune system whether you know about them or not.

You're already careful about what goes into your body. You read labels. You question ingredients. That awareness matters.

But most dental care still works the same way it did 30 years ago — manage the symptom, move on.

Ozone therapy works differently. It targets the bacteria driving chronic oral infection — the same infection that elevates inflammatory markers throughout your body. No antibiotics. No residue. Just elimination at the source.

What would change if your dental care worked with your body instead of around it?

Most people who care about their health have never been told to think about their mouth as part of the picture.

Your oral microbiome affects your gut. Gum inflammation shows up in your bloodstream. The same markers your body uses to signal that something's off — CRP, IL-6 — can be elevated by something happening in your mouth that you can't even feel.

None of this is new science. It's just not part of the conversation yet.

If you're someone who pays attention to how your body feels, this is worth knowing: your mouth is upstream of more than you think.

🧠 Save this for later. Share it with someone who'd want to know.

If you're already paying attention to inflammation, gut health, and how your immune system responds to your environment — your mouth belongs in that conversation.

Most people managing autoimmune conditions have a rheumatologist, a functional medicine doctor, or maybe a nutritionist. But almost none of them have a dentist on that team.

🔬 Here's why that matters: your oral microbiome is one of the first places systemic inflammation shows up. Bleeding gums, dry mouth, recurring infections — these aren't just dental problems. They're signals.And if your dentist isn't looking at them that way, you're missing a piece of the puzzle.

🤝 The question isn't whether your mouth and your immune system are connected. It's whether your dental care reflects that they are.

What's one thing you wish your dentist understood about your health journey?

We will never get tired of sharing these biomimetic photos with you. Documentation in a controlled, clean environment allows us to see the clinical details that often go overlooked. ✅

In our office, we don't settle for "good enough" fillings that eventually leak and fail. By isolating the tooth, we can bond restorations with enough strength to actually support your natural tooth structure. This approach saves more of your tooth and prevents the cycle of aggressive drilling. It is predictable dentistry for patients who value their long-term health. 📈

We would love to hear your thoughts on this approach—drop a comment below if you’ve ever had a filling that didn't quite feel right.

Most dental visits are reactive. You go because something hurts, something broke, or because you’re "supposed to" every six months. 🦷

Biological dentistry is for the proactive. It’s for the person who understands that the mouth is the gateway to the rest of the body. 🧠✨

We don’t just look at teeth as isolated ivory towers. We look at:

✅How your oral microbiome impacts your gut health 🍎

✅ The systemic effects of dental materials on your immune system 🛡️

✅ The connection between airway, sleep, and daily energy levels ⚡

If you’re tired of the "drill and fill" cycle and want a partnership focused on health optimization rather than just symptom management, you belong here. 🤝

The goal isn't just a cavity-free mouth. It’s a high-functioning body. 🌿

Have questions about how biological dentistry differs from what you're used to? We love diving into the science of systemic health. Drop a comment or send us a DM—let’s start the conversation. 💬

The Burkitt Center will be closed tomorrow, Monday, January 26.

Local forecasts and current road conditions in Nashville present a valid safety risk. We are prioritizing the physical well-being of our patients and team members by keeping everyone off the roads. 🧊🌨️

If you have an appointment on the schedule for tomorrow, our team will contact you directly to move your visit. We expect to resume standard operating hours once conditions stabilize. 📉

Hey everyone! We hope you and your families are staying safe and warm on this snow day! ❄️

Since we are all tucked inside, we are excited to finally show you our new digital home. We built this website to
be a true extension of our practice. It is welcoming, transparent, and designed to give you the clarity you deserve regarding your health. 🦷

True wellness creates an environment where the body can heal itself. The rubber barrier you see here is how we create that environment for your teeth.

The mouth is naturally wet and full of bacteria. To rebuild a tooth so it mimics the strength of the original, we need a space that is completely dry. This shield allows us to bond materials directly to your tooth structure without any contamination. It is the only way to ensure the new material actually becomes part of the tooth rather than just a patch that sits on top of it.

When we control the environment, we get a result that mimics nature. This prevents the gap that often forms with traditional fillings, keeping bacteria out and your tooth strong for decades. We do it right the first time so your body doesn't have to carry the burden of inflammation later.

It begs the question: if this is what is required for a tooth to truly heal, why isn’t it standard practice everywhere?

When we look at a CBCT scan, we are analyzing bone density. The dark area Dr. Will is highlighting here represents a void in the jawbone where the tissue has failed to heal properly. 📉

In biological dentistry, we refer to this as a cavitation or Ischemic Bone Disease. It is essentially a pocket of dead or decaying tissue trapped inside the bone that standard 2D X-rays frequently fail to detect. 🦷

This specific scan shows why 3D imaging is non-negotiable for diagnosing chronic infection. We have to see the full architecture of the jaw to understand the root cause of systemic inflammation. 🔍

We break down the full diagnosis and treatment protocol in the new video.

If you are the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room.

That is why we are currently in Bountiful, Utah, training with Dr. Judson Wall. In the world of holistic and biological dentistry, the science is moving fast. To stay at the cutting edge of patient safety and systemic health, we have to go directly to the source. 🏔️

We spent the last two days deep-diving into advanced protocols and refining our approach to whole-body health. We are focused on learning exactly how to serve you better.

There is a lot of knowledge coming back to Nashville with us, and we can’t wait to unpack it all for you. More details soon. ✈️

To be honest, seeing reviews like this is the best part of our job.

When a patient drives two hours to see us because our "concern for mental health is a step above," it confirms exactly why we are here.

We believe that true healing is impossible without a regulated nervous system. How are we supposed to help you heal if you aren't even relaxed?

That is where The Comfort Menu comes in.

This isn't just a list of nice perks. We designed this complimentary protocol to lower cortisol and ensure your visit feels more like a restoration and less like a medical procedure. Every patient has access to these tools to help them find their calm.

The Menu Includes:

🎧 Noise Cancelling Headphones Block out the sounds of the clinical environment entirely. You can listen to your own music or simply enjoy the silence.

🌫️ Weighted Blankets Deep pressure stimulation helps calm the nervous system immediately. It provides a sense of grounding that many patients find essential for feeling safe in the chair.

🐕 Therapy Dogs There is no medication quite like the presence of a calm animal. Our therapy dogs are available to sit with you during your appointment, providing a grounding, non-judgmental presence that instantly lowers heart rate and anxiety.

🧣 Warm Towels We finish every appointment with a hot towel service. It aids in sensory regulation and leaves you feeling refreshed rather than clinical.

And the most important item on the menu:

👁️ Radical Transparency It isn't a physical item, but it provides more comfort than a blanket ever could. It is the peace of mind that comes from knowing exactly what we are doing, why we are doing it, and what it costs—before we even start. No surprise bills. No hidden agendas. No medical mystery.

You deserve a provider who anticipates your comfort before you even ask.

If you have questions about our approach or just want to see if we’re the right fit for you, send us a message. We’d love to chat.
