Integrated Oral Care

Recognising the oral-systemic connection

Functional Dentistry

Appreciates the broader connection between oral and systemic health, particularly the importance of the microbiome and the role of lifestyle in health.

Focuses on recognizing the subtle signs of health problems before they progress to symptoms. The aim is to address the foundational pillars of health across the lifespan, through a combination of motivational interviewing and targeted interventions utilizing precision (personalised) medicine. Treatment approaches consider the key role of epigenetics whilst addressing any aesthetic and/or functional goals from a holistic viewpoint.
