About Dentistry By Shane Nelson DDS

Dentistry by Shane Nelson, DDS is a general and cosmetic dental practice in Overland Park, Kansas, working from holistic, gneuromuscular (GNM) and biomimetic principles. Treatment planning begins from the oral-systemic premise that disease in the mouth is connected to whole-body health, so every material and technique used is examined for biocompatibility as well as clinical effect. The practice is mercury- and fluoride-free, and uses biocompatible restorative materials, digital radiography with cone beam 3-D imaging, laser dentistry, ozone dentistry, and biomimetic protocols that treat weak, decayed or fractured teeth conservatively to retain natural tooth structure. Gneuromuscular methods address the bite and the head, jaw and neck musculature for patients with TMJ disorder. Preventive, restorative and cosmetic services are provided from the same biocompatible standard, and conscious sedation is available for patients with dental fear.

Common Questions

What does a holistic or biocompatible approach change about routine dental treatment here?

Every facet of care is delivered on a biocompatible basis rather than only the treatments labelled holistic. The practice states that it examines the safety of each material and technique for the whole body, not solely for the mouth, and works on the understanding that oral disease is linked to systemic conditions including strokes and heart attacks.

How is mercury amalgam removal handled?

The practice follows the SMART protocol, Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique, and is equipped for it. Measures described include an impermeable barrier isolating the treatment area, external oxygen for the patient to prevent inhalation of mercury vapour or particles, protective gowns, nitrile gloves and head coverings for patient and staff, air filtration and ventilation, techniques that limit heat generation, and separate collection and disposal of amalgam waste.

Why does the practice avoid mercury amalgam fillings?

The practice notes that dental amalgam is roughly 50 percent mercury by weight. Health-minded patients concerned about that exposure are the reason the practice works mercury-free and offers safe removal.

How are fractured, cracked or heavily decayed teeth restored?

Weak, decayed or fractured teeth are treated using biomimetic dentistry principles, which the practice describes as conservative work directed at saving the natural tooth rather than replacing it. Ozone dentistry is used to support healing and recovery, and laser dentistry to reduce pain and the chance of complications during and after treatment.

Which areas does the practice serve, and how is an appointment arranged?

The office is in Overland Park, Kansas, and states that it also sees patients from Leawood, Olathe, Lenexa, Mission and surrounding communities.
