About Aesthetic Dentistry of Lake Oswego

Aesthetic Dentistry of Lake Oswego has served Lake Oswego, Oregon and its surrounding communities since 2003, combining general restorative dentistry with a biological approach that treats oral health as inseparable from systemic health. The clinic works with biocompatible, metal-free materials, matches material selection to a patient's own body chemistry through biocompatibility testing, and uses ozone therapy, saliva testing and platelet-rich fibrin within its protocols.

Diagnosis is oriented toward seeing structure before treating it: digital and panoramic radiography, CBCT cone-beam imaging for implant, extraction, endodontic and TMD planning, VELscope fluorescence screening for mucosal abnormalities, and a take-home monitor that records one night of sleep for apnea and bruxism. Airway and jaw-joint function are handled as part of the oral-systemic picture, with dental laser therapy for periodontal disease and NightLase laser treatment where snoring or sleep apnea is present.

Common Questions

How does this clinic approach removing existing mercury amalgam fillings?

Mercury amalgam removal is one of the clinic's stated holistic services, carried out under the SMART protocol and alongside ozone therapy, biocompatibility testing and metal-free materials. The clinic frames the work within a whole-body approach, selecting materials it describes as compatible with each patient's individual body chemistry rather than treating a failing filling in isolation.

What testing does the clinic use to decide which materials to place?

The clinic states it provides conservative, holistic care using biocompatible materials chosen for each patient's needs. Saliva testing with the SillHa Oral Wellness System analyses a single saliva sample to assess factors related to oral wellness in about five minutes, which the clinic uses to build a personalized treatment plan.

If a tooth cannot be saved, what happens at the extraction site?

The clinic states that it aims to preserve natural teeth and, where extraction is necessary, uses biological protocols including platelet-rich fibrin to support healing and protect surrounding bone and gum tissue. Bone grafting with biocompatible materials is offered to rebuild jawbone lost to missing teeth or advanced periodontal disease as a foundation for future implants.

How is suspected sleep apnea or night-time grinding investigated here?

A take-home monitor, described as FDA-approved and suitable for adults and children aged two to eighteen, is worn for one night to test for both sleep apnea and teeth grinding. The clinic also uses NightLase laser treatment to open airways for night-time breathing where snoring or sleep apnea is present, and a dental laser for periodontal disease.

What is the clinic's approach to TMJ and jaw-joint pain?

Temporomandibular disorders are attributed to dislocation or inflammation of the joints connecting jaw to skull, and are addressed through neuromuscular dentistry aimed at bite and jaw alignment rather than symptoms alone. Snoring and apnea cases may be managed with oral appliance therapy such as the Thornton Adjustable Positioner.

What does a routine examination involve, and are fluoride-free options available?

An examination and cleaning is described as taking approximately one hour and includes a medical and dental history review, an oral cancer screening, assessment of the gums for inflammation or periodontal disease, examination for decay or damage, and evaluation of bite and jaw-joint function. The clinic states fluoride-free options for protecting teeth from decay are offered.
