About Prescott Dentistry

Prescott Dentistry applies biomimetic principles — a branch of biological dentistry concerned with the biomechanics of the natural tooth — across the whole of its restorative work at 350 Whipple St in Prescott. The practice uses adhesive bonding techniques and biocompatible materials chosen to recreate the enamel and dentin complex, with the stated aim of preserving healthy tooth structure and restoring a tooth's ability to withstand bite forces that can exceed 200 psi, rather than reducing a tooth for a crown. Minimally invasive methods include air abrasion, ozone and oxygen therapies, and mercury-amalgam removal performed with protective technique. For patients with chemical sensitivities or material concerns, the office performs material compatibility testing. Its clinicians are recorded with the Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry.

Common Questions

How does this practice approach a tooth another dentist says needs a root canal and crown?

Prescott Dentistry states that no treatment option can be determined without examining the area in question, but that biomimetic technique can sometimes restore a tooth less invasively. The practice notes there are instances where a biomimetic filling restores a tooth without a root canal and crown, and other cases where extraction is advised rather than building on an infected root or poor foundation.

Why does the office require its own exam before treating a condition diagnosed elsewhere?

Because its holistic and biomimetic approach may identify a less-invasive route than the one a traditionally trained dentist proposed, the practice states that the doctor may need a more thorough exam to meet a patient's specific health needs. A comprehensive exam covers the whole mouth, usually involves radiographs and other imaging, and is normally recommended before any treatment proceeds.

How is ozone and oxygen therapy used here?

Ozone is applied in several forms: ozonated carrier oils for topical use or oil pulling; ozonated water as an antimicrobial irrigation during routine cleanings, after surgical procedures, and in gum treatment; pure ozone gas from medical-grade oxygen applied to teeth or tissue, either at localized sites or in full-mouth trays; and therapeutic injection into tissue to address acute infection.

What does the practice say about removing older amalgam fillings?

The office states that heavy metals and mercury are continually released from older amalgam fillings, and that amalgam removal performed without training in biological technique can expose a patient to mercury vapor and aerosols. It describes removal as one step in addressing health concerns while noting that health conditions are usually multi-factorial, with dental materials only one possible contributor.

What is the difference between an initial consultation and a comprehensive exam?

The practice describes the consultation as a brief introductory visit covering its philosophy and approach, giving a limited view of how its holistic method might apply to a patient's situation. A comprehensive exam is a whole-mouth examination and evaluation of oral health, with additional time to prioritize health needs, usually including radiographs and other imaging for diagnosis.

What materials does the practice select, and can sensitivities be accounted for?

Material selection is driven by recreating the structure of natural enamel and dentin, using biocompatible materials and advanced bonding to restore the strength and function of the biological complex. For patients with chemical sensitivities or material concerns, the office states it performs material compatibility testing before deciding what to place.
