About Ashwood Dental Office
Ashwood Dental Office practises at 3922 Telegraph Road in Ventura, California, and has served the city since the practice was established there in 2000. Its stated orientation is oral-systemic: dental conditions are treated as contributors to whole-body health rather than as isolated problems of teeth and gums, with mercury exposure from amalgam restorations and periodontal disease named as the specific links. The office describes itself as mercury-safe and bio-friendly, which it defines as treating in the least toxic ways available and selecting materials that achieve the clinical result without undesired oral or systemic effects, including allergic reactions. No latex products are used, and dental materials are metal-free and BPA-free. Clinicians here are recorded with the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.

Common Questions
What containment does the practice use when removing amalgam fillings?
The office states that it uses rubber dams to limit mercury exposure, supplies pure oxygen during removal to limit inhalation of mercury vapour, provides protective goggles, uses chlorella rinses to attempt to chelate mercury, and keeps the treatment rooms under continuous mercury filtration both during and after the procedure.
What is placed after amalgam is removed?
The practice states that no foreign material is completely biocompatible, and that it selects what it describes as the most stable composites available for the replacement restoration. It notes that these tooth-coloured materials also offer an aesthetic improvement.
How is ozone used during treatment?
Ozonated water is used at this practice during routine cleanings and during procedures such as tooth extractions. The office describes ozonated water as a means of treating bacterial infection and of helping to prevent tooth decay.
Are zirconia implants available instead of titanium?
The practice places and restores dental implants, and states that implants are typically made of titanium or other body-compatible materials that integrate to form a stable foundation for artificial teeth. It states that some patients can be candidates for zirconia implants, a ceramic alternative to titanium, and that candidacy is determined at a consultation appointment arranged through the office.
How is TMJ disorder approached here?
The office describes temporomandibular disorder as pain and stiffness in the joint connecting the lower jaw to the skull, arising after trauma or aggravated by clenching and grinding, with signs including facial pain, earache, chronic headache, jaw locking or clicking, and an occlusion that feels off. It uses Epic laser as a therapeutic device to temporarily increase circulation and relax musculature, each area taking roughly five to ten minutes.
What does the practice say about veneers and orthodontics?
Porcelain veneers are described as thin custom-made shells covering the front surface of a tooth, and the office states it has been placing them for 25 years, aiming for restorations that are functional and long-lasting as well as aesthetic. For alignment, Invisalign is offered as a series of custom clear aligners changed every two weeks, without metal brackets or wires.
