About Sage Dental Wellness

Sage Dental Wellness is a holistic and biological dental clinic at 4011 Donald St. in Eugene, Oregon, treating patients from the Eugene-Springfield area, Lane County towns such as Junction City and Cottage Grove, and coastal communities including Florence and Reedsport. The clinic's stated approach is to investigate the underlying cause of a dental problem rather than the symptom alone, assessing occlusion, TMJ condition, airway function and jaw alignment alongside decay and periodontal risk. Restorations are placed in metal-free, biocompatible materials, with blood testing offered where a patient has a specific material sensitivity. Minimally invasive technique includes air abrasion to remove decay without extensive drilling. Ozone therapy is used against deep decay, dental infection and periodontal disease; platelet-rich fibrin, ceramic implant placement guided by 3-D imaging, and tongue and lip tie release are also part of the clinic's recorded work.

Common Questions

What makes this clinic's approach "biological" rather than conventional restorative dentistry?

The clinic states that oral health is part of a larger system connected to overall well-being, and works from the oral-systemic premise rather than treating teeth in isolation. In practical terms that means investigating root causes — clenching and grinding, airway function, jaw alignment — selecting biocompatible materials, and preserving natural tooth structure.

How does the clinic handle the removal of existing amalgam fillings?

For patients with existing mercury fillings, the clinic states it follows the SMART protocol for safe amalgam removal, applying strict safety measures intended to protect the patient, the clinical team and the environment during the procedure. It describes itself as a mercury-free and mercury-safe clinic, using only metal-free materials for restorations placed thereafter. SMART is a protocol of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.

Why does the clinic place ceramic implants instead of titanium?

The clinic's position is that ceramic is biocompatible and does not produce the metal sensitivities or corrosion associated with titanium. It states that gum tissue attaches to ceramic, whereas titanium implants retain a pocket around the fixture where bacteria can live, and that ceramic mimics a natural root form without showing a grey hue through the gums. Placement is planned on 3-D imaging and executed with real-time X-Guide navigation for position, angle and depth.

What is involved in a new patient comprehensive exam here?

The exam covers a health assessment as it relates to oral health, low-dose digital radiographs with thyroid collar and lead apron, 3-D CBCT imaging, a plaque sample assessed for higher-risk decay and periodontal bacteria, 3-D intraoral scanning and photographs, oral cancer screening, an occlusion, TMJ and structural health assessment, and a lip and tongue tie assessment. Findings and treatment options are then presented in phases, most urgent needs first.

How is ozone therapy used in treatment?

The clinic describes ozone as antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal, and applies it to deep decay, dental infections and periodontal disease. It states that treating deep decay close to the nerve with ozone helps maintain tooth vitality and reduce the need for root canal treatment, and that ozone supports healing after procedures.
