Walking beside our patients in pursuing their overall health.

Foundational Roots - Dexter

Biological Dentistry

Foundational Roots understands that the health of your mouth is intimately related to the health and wellness of your entire body. We believe that an infection that is present anywhere in the mouth can stress the immune system, resulting in manifestations of disease elsewhere in the body. We believe that mercury (“silver fillings”) is not a healthy choice to fill a hole in a tooth, and when removed, should be removed safely so as not to increase exposure to the patient or the provider. We believe everyone has a unique and God-designed body that reacts uniquely to what is being placed into it. We believe that it is our honor to walk beside our patients in pursuing their overall health. We believe that we lead by example. We believe that what we do makes a difference.

Welcome to Foundational Roots!

Our Specialties

Prevention Strategies and Treatments

Adopting a biological approach to preventative dental therapy involves creating tailored, individualized strategies and treatment plans for patients. Learn more.

Minimally Invasive and Metal-Free Dentistry 

We take a minimally invasive, scientific, and evidence based approach to restoring your teeth using metal-free dentistry. Each patient and each tooth within that patient is different with different needs. Learn more.

Ozone Therapy

Ozone (O3) therapy in biological dentistry is a minimally invasive approach to the management and treatment of disease and infection in oral health. Your mouth is host to a complex oral microbiome, which is typically in harmony and results in a healthy environment for your mouth. Learn more.

Biological Family Dentistry

As part of our biological family dentistry practices, we promote educational opportunities with our patients such as lifestyle habits, the importance of balanced nutrition, and maintaining a healthy oral microbiome for overall wellness. Learn more.

The Foundational Roots Difference

Many traditional dental practices perform what is sometimes called “drill, fill, and bill” services. Such an approach addresses isolated issues such as cavities, for example, without resolving the underlying imbalances that are affecting your health. At Foundational Roots, we seek to understand the connections between oral health and the rest of the body, recognizing that issues in the mouth can affect other areas of health, and vice versa. In addition, we use biocompatible materials for dental restorations when needed which allows us to minimize the use of chemicals and toxins in treatments, and emphasize prevention and conservative treatment approaches.
