General Dentistry With a Focus on Your Health and Comfort
At Spring Oaks Dental, we understand the connection between dental health and overall physical wellness. We are a Vivos Method dental provider and an Airway Health Solutions trained provider, using advanced tools to evaluate airway and sleep concerns. Our practice follows functional dentistry principles, focusing on safe, minimally invasive care, tailored to each patient.
What is Functional Dentistry?
Functional dentistry views the mouth as part of the whole body. It considers how teeth, gums, airway, and bite affect a person’s overall health. This approach helps patients protect their smiles while also improving sleep, breathing, and comfort.
Preventive Care
Routine checkups and cleanings are important for your oral health. At each dental visit, our team will evaluate your teeth, gums, and airway while removing plaque and tartar buildup. Preventive care helps detect minor issues early and supports your long-term health.
Curodont
At Spring Oaks Dental, our team offers Curodont to treat white spot lesions. This noninvasive treatment encourages your enamel to repair itself. It strengthens the teeth without the need for uncomfortable drilling.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
Our dentists use silver diamine fluoride to stop cavities from progressing. It hardens the tooth surface and is especially useful for children who need restorative work for fillings or crowns. No anesthetic is needed, and because it remineralizes the teeth, it stops decay in its tracks.
Struggling With Sleep Or Jaw Pain? We Can Help.
Airway Treatment
Dr. Kassi Klein, Dr. Rachel Buckley, and Dr. Blake Swonke use a multidisciplinary approach to identify and manage sleep and breathing issues. Airway treatment can include myofunctional therapy, tongue and lip tie evaluation, sleep studies, ENT, or chiropractic referrals, and custom dental appliances for children and adults.
Sleep-disordered breathing affects patients of all ages and may show up as snoring, teeth grinding, daytime fatigue, or difficulty focusing. Left untreated, it can impact oral health and overall well-being. By evaluating airway function during routine visits, our team can detect these concerns early and guide patients to the right solutions.
Our dentists may recommend an airway-focused appliance or coordinate care with other service providers when needed. This approach ensures each patient receives treatment that supports their breathing, sleep, and long-term dental health.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a simple way our dentists can protect your back teeth from decay. A thin coating is applied to the enamel, creating a barrier against bacteria and food. Sealants are especially effective for children and teens.
Periodontal Therapy
Our hygienists and dentists use deep cleaning supported by ozone gas therapy to fight gum disease. O3 medical-grade oxygen, which is turned into ozone gas, targets bacteria below the gumline and helps the tissue heal. This helps to improve your long-term gum health.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
When repairing cavities, our team restores teeth with BPA-free composite fillings that blend in naturally. These fillings preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible while giving highly durable results.
Root Canal Therapy
At Spring Oaks Dental, our team may recommend a root canal treatment when infection reaches the inner part of a tooth. This treatment removes infection, eases pain, and helps save your natural tooth. Retaining your own teeth is always the goal, as it protects your bite, jaw, and overall smile.
Tooth Extraction
Our team will always try to save your natural tooth, but sadly, sometimes, the damage can be so severe that an extraction is unavoidable. If you need a tooth extraction, your dentist will discuss the procedure with you. Sedation options are available for your comfort, and detailed aftercare instructions will be provided so you can enjoy a quick recovery. Your dentist will also discuss tooth replacement options so you can continue to enjoy everyday oral health functions without limitation.
Crowns
When a tooth is broken or weakened, our dentists restore it with a custom crown. To ensure safety, we work with Body Meridian Testing, who perform compatibility testing that reviews all substances used during treatment, from anesthetics to crown materials.
If testing shows a material is not suitable, we adjust treatment plans accordingly. Options for crowns include BPA-free ceramic composite, zirconia (metal-free), e.max lithium disilicate, and porcelain.
Frenectomies
We offer frenectomies to adults and children aged 6 and older. Instead of a simple clip, our dentists perform functional frenuloplasty, which combines tongue tie release with myofunctional therapy. This approach helps improve tongue movement and long-term oral function.
Our team uses the Solea CO2 laser to complete this procedure. The laser means the release is done gently on the tissue, reduces discomfort, and promotes faster healing. By pairing therapy with laser treatment, our team ensures patients receive results that support both their oral health and airway function.
SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique)
At Spring Oaks Dental, your safety is our top priority. The SMART technique comes from the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, which has undertaken significant research on the effects of mercury amalgams. These protocols offer specific safety measures to decrease any exposure to mercury vapors, ensuring the safety of patients and our team when we remove old mercury amalgam fillings. This includes using rubber dams, masks, and personal protective equipment. Our practice closely follows SMART protocols. If you have any questions about SMART or removing older fillings, just ask our team.
